Do you hate having kids?

Well me neither, but let me just say that after 2 days of caring for them practically on my own, I am almost there!

Firstly, really hungry children can turn into monsters fast, not that I was starving them or anything like that, but I did get back into bed this morning and it sort of got late for breakfast! Secondly, 3 small children are very hard to manage, I mean VERY.hard.to.manage, seriously, not even “challenging”, it’s DIFFICULT! Thirdly, my smallest kid is incredibly spoilt and I am not sure what to do about it, I mean, he has complete meltdowns if he does not get want he wants… but being the discipline obsessed mother that I was with the other 2 kids, I have absolutely no idea how to handle this blatant lack of proper and appropriate behavior!

To blog is not to pay for therapy, so, please excuse this clearly ill-prepared and un-thought-out post. Ok, as you were…

Hey there, stressed out mommy, I know what you mean. Hang in there, it gets better a few minutes after you think “I can’t take it anymore”.

Thoughts from Char

I can totally relate!! I also have three kids and my husband travels ALOT. My youngest is also spoiled rotten while the older two are much well behaved.

Let me tell you it does get better as they get older. Take a deep breath and make a cup of tea. Lower your standards and enjoy

What is it about the third child? Seriously my little one is VERY hard to discipline compared with the older ones. I feel for you, truly.

It does get better I promise but I do advise when husband comes home, walk out of the door and get a break for a couple of hours.

Thoughts from Achelois

Have you tried tying them to office chairs ad threatening to push them off the stairs? You know it always works especially if you can manage to prick their feet with thumb tacks first so they know you mean business!

OK, that was a joke you know that, don’t you?!

Guys, i don’t understand the 3rd child thing, but he NEEDS to be stopped! For the sake of my sanity!

*makes note on her long-term to-do list*

“Stop at TWO children… or give third away to travelling circus”.

I can just relate! I have 2. My youngest one is also quite a handful mashallah,she is now 21 months and am so not looking forward to the terrible twos. She is very demanding and has developed this new tactic of screaming. I have no idea what to do. I take it a day at a time. Have you had those moments when some stranger comments on how *cute* the kids are and you feel like rolling your eyes or just saying YA,RIGHT!.
