I have a 3.5 year old boy, a 2 year old girl and a 1 year old boy. I thought I was coping fine until we decided to sell our house as it was too small and build. We are currently living with my husbands patents while we build, I thought this would be easy but Man as i wrong!!! Don’t get me wrong I am grateful to his parents but they’re older and it issuing my life harder not easier. I am a 2 hour drive from my Mum who I saw all the time and am really missing my family and friends. I thought this move would mean I would spend more quality time with my children but instead I see to be spending least time with them and more time yelling at them!!!!!! Oh and I forgot to say Dad is only home from Friday night till Sunday afternoon.

Love this! You made me laugh out loud which is quite an accomplishment right now when looking around just leaves me a little deflated. I have to say, you kind of lost me at #6 – a cleaner AND groceries delivered. WOW! If only. Unfortunately I have to clean my own house and grocery shop with all 3 kids. While I’m happy for you and, if I could I would more than likely do the same thing, I’ll just have to look elsewhere for tips on scaling those 2 mountains. That being said, thanks for the laugh and keep up the good work :0

Sorry, whilst the 4 to watches tv or plays wii! Anyway, thx for letting me vent. I love my kids, but I am having a ‘poor me’ moment and feel so much better for releasing it! Best luck to you all and congratulations!

Thankyou so much for your light hearted and humorous tips that I so need today. It is only 11am and each one of my 3 under 5 has made me cry twice already… It one of those days. I trying to pack up the house cos we are moving 2 weeks before Xmas, work from home on an ‘urgent’ project ( I am a designer that works from home, and I can’t tell you how tired I am of people saying how ‘lucky’ I am I can work from home. It is a full time job looking after 3 kids under 5 and all at home, let alone sit down at night after everyone has eaten and switch off my mum brain to try and find my creative one! The only ‘lucky’ thing about it is if two of my kids chooses to sleep during the day for an
Hour or so and I am ‘lucky’ enough to spend that time sitting at my computer and working whilst the 4yo

Oh my. You do know what it’s like. Do we get through it? With children who grow up to be responsible adults?
