With babies and toddlers, that's they only way! But that phase only lasts a few years, thankfully. I remember several times telling my kids when they were young: \"Go to bed! Mummy is tired!\" whereupon the whole family laughed at me.
... I tend to read after the toddler sleeps!
I have been known to catch moments when the kids are otherwise occupied with toys or TV to read a page or 2. At one stage, I was taking a course (luckily it was mostly study at home, own time own target type), and I recall writing essays with a preschooler playing in the another part of the room, and a toddler playing at my feet. I can't imagine how scrappy those essays must have sounded, written 2 sentences at a time! -
Oh yes! We wrote ours when dd was a bb then. This time round…much easier. I just chauffeur and take care their meals and I will be left alone.

Think of it they are quite independent in a way…coz I can do my own things almost all the time and they are left alone do their own stuffs…it is mostly the breaking up of my schedule that makes me feel quite miserable.

Am thoroughly enjoying this ebook that I’ve just borrowed. Have not read fiction (instead of parenting books) in a long time:
The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz. -

I try not to go for novel on family affairs and the relationship between family members as it may cause me to recall lot of nightmares in the past. :siam:

Enjoy your me time! I love American family epics. Reading a history of Paris, Seven Ages.

when they were much younger (up till secondary school), I would want them to be home.
I like kids to be at home..everything much easier.
advise them what are the dos and the don'ts, especially to my girl.
till now, I still remind my girl to hold on to the values and to remember self respect.
daughter's psychiatrist recommended me this book...it's called 'the self driven child'.
occasionally I do read those pages which I put some bookmarks to remind myself when she drives me nuts.
tomorrow is son's ORD. i don't have to wash army uniforms until he has reservist. -

It’s my first time reading this genre. I usually read Sci-fi, no scary family relationships there
