I know how you feel. I feel the same way, although mine are younger than
yours. They are so demanding all the time and sometimes it is just so exhausting. -- Terri & Rob Colton (11-29-00) Aimee and Kylie (12-22-03) Visit us at: http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a..._kylie_colton/ wrote in message . .. i am a single mom with 4yr old twins, one boy and one girl. i also have an older boy who is 11yrs. i have worked full time up til last month and have never had the chance to stay home with them and enjoy the fact i am a mom with wonderful twins and my older boy almost in his teens--at the age were moms arent cool any more---- i am loosing my mind already and feel like a failure because i cant handle my children. has anyone felt like this? i wish i had someone to talk to other than my children. |

Hey, I missed this message the first time..."davis 8021" (sorry, I don't have a name for you!), it's tough when you change the way things have worked, you know? I'm sure in your mind you had the image of how nice it would be at last to get the chance to stay home--then you get hit by kids who are wanting to test you & figure out their boundaries in this new environment. When you say you're losing your mind, is it having them around all the time, or are they misbehaving? What's your biggest problem with your new situation? Are you missing work? I'm a SAHM mom who has one kid (girl) off to college, 10-year-old boy/girl twins, and a 6-year old girl, so maybe I can give you some help. I know that I absolutely went BONKERS when I was first at home with the hordes *all by myself*. It was so scary!!! :-O LOL! For me, it was having a period of adjustment and learning how to work the new world to my advantage...and it still wasn't easy. Anyway, you're not a failure; parenting is a tough job. The fact that you're questioning your ability means you care enough to want to be the best mom. Sometimes, though, you can't get to "best," you just have to get to "making it through the day without putting someone's head through a wall," IYKWIM. Jennifer |
