[quote=Anonymous]I had the recent realization that having a second child pushed me beyond my limitations for noise and chaos. My kids are 5 and 3 and I'm totally in love with them both. Most of the time though, I hate spending time with them together because their personalities often change, they get whiney, compete for attention, argue, get rambunctious, etc. Even when they are getting along it's just a lot more noise and craziness. When I have either of them one-on-one, it is amazing. Chill, quality time. Opportunities for one-on-one time are few and far between, especially right now. My tolerance for noise and chaos is low and it doesn't help that my youngest does that high-pitched thing that is like a knife to the head (and it rarely comes out if you are one-on-one with him, only when his sibling is around). I'm not sure what the point of my thread is. Can anyone relate, though? How did you cope or manage to lower the chaos level in your house?[/quote]
