This is a WONDERFUL post! First I want to say how awesome it is that you ended up having 2 kids. Yes they are at that FUN age right now, but we all know that us Mom’s would NEVER take back having our little monsters. The other thing is that I can relate to your madness so well! Before having kids I remember watching other parents yell at their children in the grocery store because their toddler is screaming and throwing a huge fit. I remember thinking that my kid would NEVER even throw a fit like that b/c I would be all over disciplining them the “right way” (no clue what the “right way” was to me at that time, I just knew that she was doing it wrong). Now that I’m a Mom of an almost 3yr old… I understand now that sometimes those fits are extremely hard to keep under control. There’s no way that you are alone here. Most days I have to get away from the loudness for a little bit and have quite me time. I love my kids very much, but they sure do know how to get under my skin sometimes.

Wonderful post there. I never thought I’d have kids myself – but life happens, I guess?
My two boys are now 6 and 8 and while I love them to bits, it’s enough for me too. I love having my night time back to myself and being able to help with raising my little nephew who lives next-door to us. Yeah, babies are super cute, but it’s so much fun being able to give him back to his Mommy after baby sitting and getting back to my own stuff

Oh my gosh that made me laugh and cry, the best combination. I thought, just like you, that I would never get angry at my kids and they would never give me reason because I would love them so much they would never be unhappy.

We got pregnant really fast with our first (now 10),I had a great pregnancy and he was a super easy baby and toddler, I got stressed but not too bad.

It then took us 5 years and a miscarriage to have our 2nd. It was a horrible pregnancy and if he ahd been my first he would have been my only one. I love them to pieces but sometimes I scream and then I feel bad and we (the 5yr old & me) both cry.

Then I take a deep breathe and try to be the mom I want to be, happy and just loving them.

That is so funny, it sounds like us.

Whenever we are going somewhere different that they don’t recognize and they ask where we going. I tell them I am dumping them off at the orphanage. But they finally caught on and tell me I am lying.

Oh, can I relate! I love my kids dearly, but they suck the life out of me. I always thought I’d be the perfect parent (My kids will never act like that in public!), that I’d have all the answers, and that my kids would respectfully obey my every wish because of their great love for me. Boy, was I in for a nasty surprise! The only reason I’ve made it through so far is that my parents take my kids very frequently and the youngest has been staying with them for 2 weeks now. When both kids are home the fighting is so bad I don’t think I’ll make it another day. Mommyhood did not turn out as I expected at all. So, yeah, I can relate.

Hang in there. Someday they’ll move out.
