[quote=Anonymous]I’m getting so frustrated with my “busy” 2 and 4 year old boys. It’s to the point where I can hardly use the bathroom without a crash and cries in 30 seconds because they managed to get into something or hurt. We have done all the right things- house was professionally baby proofed at infant and toddler age to have safe rooms, safe places everywhere yet they define these safeguards! Take for example that the stairs are secured with an extra high baby gate, yet I run to bathroom and find my almost 2 year old has stacked a clothes bin on top of a laundry basket to use to climb nearly above the gate. Constant crashing, falling, jumping,.. it’s just a lot. I am exhausted and so completely envious of people with children who will chill for 15 min a day doing a craft or activity. We have had to ban basically all art projects in the house because they just cannot handle it even when we do drop clothes and all the things. I cannot keep up with them. I am so mentally run down. We keep so busy. It’s mid day and we have baked together, done a nature walk, ride scooters.. I just find myself having to say NO NO NO NO basically for their own survival 24/7. It is beyond exhausting. [/quote]
