I am a high school teacher and have four kids ranging in ages from 3 to 14 --soon to be 15 and let me tell she won't let you forget it. Every chance she gets, she reminds that she will be getting her learners permit soon!
During the school year I am a working mom and during the summer, spring and fall break and Christmas break I get to play the role of full time mom! I usually keep the youngest in daycare all summer because you have to pay for it or risk losing your spot, but this year I have pulled him out. I now take him to daycare for the mother's day out program once a week. That is the break I get, 5 1/2 hours once a week! This is insane...working is easier!
I love my kids, but they want to be entertained all the time! What ever happened to the days of being bored and dealing with it! I have banned television during daytime hours, because last year it was an absolute struggle to get the kids to go outside. Without being able to watch TV, it really hasn't been that hard! Great idea, if I don't say so myself! Now I simply their concierge! and hotel maid, etc!
Took the youngest for a speech evaluation this week and let me tell you that watching your kids, when they don't your watching is the best entertainment ever! I got to watch him be evaluated through one of those one way glasses like you see on Law and Order or Criminal Minds!
