Default What's a typical day?

Cold feet maybe? I feel a lil bored now... I have no adult in my life from 6 am to 3 pm or so.. its Saturday, my H is home... I am still stuck alone with my kids taking care of them because he's working in the shed.

Now what? I could assert that I want to do something, he will oblige... But he'll still want to be working in the shed. I could join him, but then sawdust gets blown in my eyes, or I gotta speak between sandings..

I want to scream entertain me! I need to talk to an adult, I want company!!!

Sincerely,
New SAHM... First week in... Twin toddlers

Yeah, that would be fun.. I sure could use some adult conversation. All I do is play referee to these creatures.. its why they kept them apart a daycare... It's insane! They can not be together for more than 10 mins without getting into it. Sheesh.

It's an adjustment to go from working to sah. My kids were 3 and 1 when I did it. What you will need to do is make other mommy friends so you can have adults to talk to during the week. I'm past this now as my kids are in school but back then I was in MOPS (mothers of preschoolers), did playdates, was in a moms group and had a best friend.

I did dual role - working half the week and SAHM the other

I was never very good at the mum's coffee mornings and all that stuff. The full time SAHMs were SOOO boring, they could go on for hours about the contents of a nappy! Lots of very rigid views on the rights and wrongs of every child related subject. Maybe I was unlucky and I don't mean to knock all SAHMs but it could be a big adjustment Cherry when you've always been a working mum. I had a foot in both camps at the same time, you're going in at the deep end

You do need to mix though even if they're not going to be lifelong friends.

I can't wait to start working again - then again my husband can't manage baby for five minutes alone without asking for help and needing a break.

Crap. And I already think I've become boring...

Geez. I AM boring... Can't think of anything else to say.

Some hobbies/crafts would be fun to do if you get a few minutes away from the kiddos... Or have them help...

It's obvious I don't have a toddler yet, isn't it? Haha!!

Lol yin... typical day for me.... get up around tenish... make kids breakfast, wake gate up to play taxi to his grandmother, feed the newborn, seperate the toddlers from fighting, clean house, go behind toddlers and clean mess, wake gate up again at 3 to go play taxi once more for his grandmother, keep kids from destroying the blinds, bird cage, kitchen, ect while tending to lil dolly. Clean up any spilled food(kids like to have food fights.) See gate off to work around 8pm. Read bedtime stories, shower, keep toddlers from killing eachother, tend to newborn, let gate in the house around 6am.. then go to bed and get up at 10 am to do it all over again... oh yeah ... and post on TAM... lmao. That's just a typical day.... sometimes there are a series of misfortunate events....
