do you think that's it? should I go back to knitting?

 

[LadyCook61]

Not necessarily stress, could be boredom too. I don't know about knitting, I do know keeping busy keeps me from eating .
Do you know you should do what you want ?

 

[suziquzie]

isn't it difficult to do what you want when there is constant screaming and fighting among the little crazy people?

 

[LadyCook61]

Yes it is difficult . Do you know I am glad I am past raising kids??

 

[suziquzie]

does it make me a bad person to want to be done?

 

[LadyCook61]

do you know it does not make you a bad person?

 

[suziquzie]

isn't it cruddy to think that you dont want to deal with your own children tho? Isn;t that rather selfish?

 

[LadyCook61]

No I don't think it is selfish or cruddy. Even mommys need some time outs.Don't you need a time out ?

 

[suziquzie]

[LadyCook61]

Do you know it is called time out or time for myself ?

Did you know it makes me feel better knowing I am not a bad parent for needing a break from my kids now and then?

 

[LadyCook61]

Did you know you are not a bad parent ?

 

[Maverick2272]

Do you know I spend a lot of time worrying about that and wondering if I could be doing better?

 

[Fisher's Mom]

Why would you feel guilty for wanting a break from your kids? Don't you think they enjoy a break from you now and again? Did you know I send my kids one at a time to visit one of their older siblings pretty regularly?

 

[LadyCook61]

Did you know just because you want a break doesn't mean you love your kids less ?

 

[Maverick2272]

So, can I have that break now?

LOL.

Don't you have to wait until the youngest is 16?

 

[Maverick2272]
