[quote=Anonymous]I had large areas of my home designated as kid's playroom.  We did not have a formal dining room or a formal living room, because that was my kids play area.  I did not believe in my kids going to the basement, away from my eyes.  The play area was set up like a daycare. We had a comfy couch, TV, snack area, painting and crafts area, dress up area, sleeping area, books, a place for physical playing, diaper changing area and eventually a small training potty too.   And it had childproof gates.  I spent most of my hours as a SAHM there.

I am sorry.  If you are a SAHM with small kids, do not think that you are going to be able to do other chores like SAHMs with school going kids do.  You have to pretty much operate as a childcare provider or nanny. And you have to be with the kids until your DH returns home.  It is a fallacy to think that your kids will entertain themselves. They still need you to direct their play or instruction. You are in charge of also keeping them on a schedule.

It is very hard but these years go by very fast too.  Remember that your kids are sponges. What you teach them now in terms of habits and routine, will endure. [/quote]
