    Long Weekends Vent

    I love long weekends but when Monday comes the dck's are completely insane. Not listening. One isn't napping because they don't make her at home. I am losing it. I work so hard to have them on a schedule and good behaviors and they come back completely undone. So frustrating.

    Totally hear you....

    Every time I complain after a long weekend, my DH says "Well, YOU let them go home". ::

        Oh yes, I can relate too! I almost wish I didn't have any time off! (almost)
        My extremely strong-willed 2 yo dcg hit 3 1/2 yo dcg 4x before 9:30. I was ready to hog-tie her. Good thing she's so darn adorable. The last time she did it I had them all ready for painting so as soon as she hit her again, I made her leave the table. She was some upset when she realized she couldn't participate.

                  Hardest here was the 4m old who is held/co sleeps at home and doesn't nap more than 30min. Here I have her down to 2 naps for 1-2 hours. She definitely screamed at me for an hour about her distaste for the pac n play. Luckily for nap 2 she seems to be ok.

                  Kids are actually playing pretty well. I switched out all the smaller toys and got a super cute pop up gingerbread tent that the kids are loving. I think tomorrow will be harder for big kid behavior. Today they are in new toy heaven

                        I may or may not have brought DS' teacher some leftover chocolate cake this morning as a way to say sorry for the way he's going to act today...

                              I was exhausted by noon...we had a hair-cutting incident, multiple milk and food spills, toys EVERYWHERE, hitting, crying, toy-taking, running inside...AND it rained all day long.

                              The only thing we didn't have were potty accidents and that was just sheer luck.
