[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 33516, member: 84"] Hanging on I have also been a stay at home mom for the past 20 some years. I'd planned to go back to work once my kids entered school. T crumbled those plans as no one would sit for him. Even being at home with plenty of time on my hands raising T when he was young was hard and some days I literally had to talk myself through. I didn't have the board. I didn't have any dxes. And I had family/friends telling me that I just wasn't trying hard enough. Not trying hard enough?? I couldn't let T out of my sight for more than a minute til he hit JR High! Add N into the mixture.... We had rages between the two that could last all day. [img]:faint:[/img] I realized early on that if I didn't get downright creative with T his entire childhood was going to consist of me yelling at him and him being punished. So even when I wanted to strangle him (like when he used to spend his days dumping all the shampoos and such down the toilet) I forced myself to learn to keep my voice calm but firm and to keep the punishments simple and direct. But even having the luxury of time, I never felt like there was ever enough of it. An early bedtime for the kids was my savior. I admire the working parents on this board. I know it has to be 10 times harder. [/QUOTE]
