I have kids 6, 2, and 11 months. Although there is tons of work to do in the home, I feel like the majority of the time is spent doing for them (dressing them, changing diapers, feeding and entertaining). I get frustrated trying to find activities that will include all 3, because usually it doesn’t work. I don’t want to become uncaring and just turn them over to the tv, video games, and computer, but it seems like they are happier doing that stuff. When I’m trying to do fun things and play with them , they seem so unappreciative… how can I enjoy them more and not feel so obligated to be this “supermom”? I’m blessed to have them and to be able to stay home, but some days I just want to scream (today being one of those days). I’d rather be cleaning the toilet than listening to the complaints and nonsense…..
