What about eating issues?
| Fri, 06-10-2005 - 2:24pm |
We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?
My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

Say the kids are up from 7 am to 8:30 pm.

I dont feel that my life was incomplete and empty without children. But yeah, I do think that having them gave me some deep insight into what life is really all about-and everything IS just as it should be.

I took a night job specifically to get away from the kids. The money is a great benefit but it was also so I would not have to deal with bedtime, clean up time and bath time. Removing me from the situation has made night time go alot easier.
The kids enjoy the break from me also. Alex asked yesterday when I was going to leave so he could play with the babysitter.
In my defense, the therapist suggested taking a job because being around the kids 24-7 like I was not mentally healthy for me or for them. I was not taking breaks from them....no church, no dates, no girl nights. I had no separate interests all winter long and it was horrible.
There is a happy medium. I am still searching for it.....

What would be your definition of "on occasion"?
My 3 year old is whiny and demanding on a daily basis. And I'll be honest, from what I've observed I think she is a pretty good kid. She has a much easier nature than my son for example.
And has PNJ said he is that consistently?
Ah, didn't think so.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
My nephew is the same way and it frusturates sil to no end. He'll ask for the blue cup and then say he wanted the red one. He'll say he wants mac and cheese for dinner and then say, no, I said I wanted pizza. He's been contrary since he was about 18 months old and has stayed that way ever since. Difficult just to be difficult, not because she's a bad mother. Her other 2 are great.
BUT, his behavior makes her more of a bad mother, if you KWIM. He drives her batty. She gets mad and yells. Her dh travels for work and she sah and with the kids (3, 9 and 10...the 9 year old is the hardcase) and their school and activities, she rarely gets a break and I've seen her lose her cool more than once.

I don't know about you, CM, but sometimes I get the impression here that there are certain posters who have *never* yelled at their kid(s). The cool is never lost.
