I absolutely love my 2 girl s and I am home with them 4 days a week and then work 3 days they are 4 and 1 1/2 and they drive me crazy most days. I feel like a good mom, but I feel like all I get done doing is yelling. they are so whinny and fight all the time. I'm sure its going to get worse. My husband doesn't understand why I need to get away sometimes. Does anyone else feel the same or am I just a bad mom?
I am a stay at home of 3 kids, ages 7, 6, and 4. Up until my oldest started first grade (this year) they were with me all the time. It's hard and very frustrating. I know exactly how you feel when you say you don't get anything done but yelling. My kids fight...all the time. My husband also doesn't understand why I'm so frustrated. Try to get someone (friends or family) to watch them for maybe an hour or two once or twice a week...it will help. When you have time for yourself try to relax, don't do the housework. Your oldest daughter can also help you cook, nothing to hard just mixing and stuff (my 4 year old daughter loves to help with this). Try to find some crafts for her to do, it will keep her busy plus let her feel like she can "do something herself". You can also look into putting her into a preschool...all of my kids loved going to preschool, it made them feel like the "big kids".
Above all else always remember that motherhood is about giving up yourself...you are a good mom. Bad mom's don't care how they act towards their kids, you obviously do so don't doubt yourself :)
A LOT OF TIMES, CHILDREN TEND TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION ANY WAY THEY CAN, EVEN IF ITS MAKING YOU MAD. YOUR GIRLS MIGHT BE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOU. TRY MAYBE DOING COLETHKY SAID, SO SOMETHING WITH BOTH YOUR GIRLS SUCH AS A COOKING ACTIVITY OR GOING OUT TO THE PARK, THE POINT IS SPENDING QUALITY TIME TOGETHER TO MAKE THEM FEEL SECURE THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM. ALSO DO TRY TO MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TO UNWIND LIKE A DAY SHOPPING OR READING AT THE LIBRARY. I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO ROSS WITHOUT MY HUBBY OR SON MAKING ME RUSH THROUGH THE AISLES ONCE A MONTH.
keep them busy , playing games , and get them to work together at stuff so they bond ,
