Moms with children under 4. How do you find time to do the things you want to do? I have a 3 yo and a 4 mo and when hubby isn't around, i feel like all my attention is focused on them. I just want to sit down and read a book or sketch but it's impossible. Has anyone successfully been able to juggle toddlers or newborns and still make time to do the things you want?
I want to hear from all you mommies what you are craving or craved during pregnancy. I'm a watermelon girl. I also like refried beans. I do however find myself wanting random things but only one serving. what about you?
Do you guys think it means he wants to fix things ?
prime time Is there a certain age you want to be finished having children by?
You couldn't find a babysitter?! Mommas, do you take your kids with you to run errands and go to mundane appointments? On two separate occasions, a doctors appointment for me and today at a car service appointment, someone has remarked "you couldn't find a babysitter?!" It never crossed my mind to find a babysitter. I take my 2 kids with me just about everywhere. They are well behaved (minus the occasional 3 year old meltdown) and one of them is attached to my boob the majority of the time anyway. Am I the only one? Is that a weird thing to do? Do most moms find babysitters?

Nap time. I have a 2 year old, a 3 year old, and will have a newborn in Jan. Naptime is my most productive time. Or after kids go to bed. It means staying up late, but you have to get that time for your wants in at sometime.

Aren't you tired by the time they lay down? 😫 And what about cleaning and cooking? Do you do that while they're sleep or awake?

Naptime is when I do my chores, when they go to bed is when I do whatever itbis that I want. I'm exhausted, I stay tired. But I do the job of 2 parents almost 24/5-6. My husband is a trucker. So I'm home with the kids by myself most of the time. If you want time for yourself, you have to make it happen. You can't depend on others to help you find that time. Some days I nap when they nap. Some days my house goes without being picked up. It's just how things are here.

Yea just looking for suggestions. Thank you. I guess it'll help when my 4 mo is on a more steady sleep schedule

When they go to bed is when I do everything. My four year old stays up all day and my one year old picks and chooses when or if he wants to nap.

I can't wait until my 4 month can start going to bed at 8pm everynight!

Basically either take them or do things while there asleep ..I do photography and I have to edit pictures and get ppl there things on time I also craft and I just have to prioritize I’ve even had to take kids to shoots lol when my youngest was little i started taking him to the daycares at the gym and that’s how I get out for awhile anyway

Im slowly starting to realize I'm going to have to drag them a lot of places or else, I'll never be able to do the things I want
