[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 159212, member: 1514"] Oh honey I soooo understand where you are coming from! I have been in the parenting business now for 27 years ! Gosh that makes me sound old...lol. There are days I still cant stand my kids. More than you really want to know...I say that as one is yelling shut up at my dog...lol. Obviously mine are grown now and Im working on the next generation but I so vividly remember what I call the horror years. Back when my boys were small (7 and under) we lived in a 2 bedroom trailer and lived on 7 bucks an hour to do everything for us. I was a stay at home mom because daycare would have cost more than what I would have made plus I was going to school. How we did it, I will never know. I know one thing, my kids went to bed at 7:30 every night. I swore if they werent asleep by 8pm someone was going to be dead. I dealt with getting up early because I knew I would get to have some alone time that evening...at least then I could sleep! I also found a mothers morning out program eventually. Now with my grand daughter who we have every weekend...I adore her...love her to pieces...but she can get on my nerves to from time to time. I do let her stay up a bit later because she sleeps later and will sleep in with me and let Gamma rest in bed if she wakes up before me. My boys would be up and hell bent on destruction if they woke up before me. She just sits there quietly with me and watches tv. My younger two boys were on medications from the ages of 4 onward. This was obviously years ago so doctors have heard of this by now. Just find a new one. I am all over the place in this post I know because I havent responded to your other posts...sorry...thought I had. I get distracted. Anyway...nice to meet you. Oh...and on picking stuff up. Just make it a game. He is too young to really do much. My grand daughter is an especially helpful two year old and she "helps" me clean up but I wouldnt expect her to be able to clean anything up by herself for years. [/QUOTE]
