if u ever hired me i dont think i would want to be left alone! i have to admit there have been times where i thought i would go crazy. never "smack shit out of kid crazy" thats the point where u put the kid down and walk into another room....even if it means letting them cry for 10 minutes.
I'm their momma and I still have momments when I have to just let them cry and go take a shit or a shower or something to relax. I've never felt rage or anger. Mostly just sadness and frustration on the hard days.
I think if I ever hire a nanny I'll just set up a live webcam and ask everyone on EHOWA to check in every 5 minutes. :P
Honey, I completely feel what you're saying. I always bring my friends here, instead of going out. Not because it costs money for babysitting, but because I hate having to trust people just to go out and have fun. I can have fun at home without taking my kids anywhere, I'd prefer that.
I have gotten to that "rage" stage, but luckily I smoke, and even better is that I have to go outside to smoke. So when I freak out, I just grab a cigarette, go outside and smoke till I'm back to the "frustrated and sad" stage. :)
Yeah, it gets nuts around here, so I'll sacrafice my lungs for a couple of years, perhaps even *give* myself cancer, to avoid blowing up on my kids, whom I dear love, one day. :) Maybe it's just a way to get outside and away from them, but it works for me.
I (jokingly) ask hubby everyday to get me started on cigarettes. Of course he won't. But it would be so nice to just sit on my porch for 5 minutes and do something that could get me to settle down.
God Meg. It's so freaking hard sometimes to be a stay at home mom. To only talk to kids all day log. To hear Disney, and Spongebob resonated through your ears. Even when you sleep. To never get a chance to eat dinner when it's hot. To never get a BATH. To have one in your arms and the other crying because they want to be there too. To pick up the toys from the living room and carry them to the bedroom 100001 times a day. To take the time to teach Autumn to help. To still have time to read sing dance and play with them. To have a sore back from kneeling over the tub. To chasing naked hineys around the house because they figured out diapers have velcro. ugh.. I'm sorry. I'm rambling. But youre a mommy dammit and you understand.
