[quote=Anonymous]I have two boys similar ages and essentially just have to severely limit the amount of time I spend alone with them simultaneously. The 7 year old is sweet and easy going in a one on one situation. The 5 year old is less predictable and harder but manageable one on one. I have never, and at this point, would never sign up to be alone with them for a week. Even if DH were around in the evenings. No way do I want to be alone with both boys for 10 hours a day, 5 days in a row. My kids are kind of like dogs and have to be run for multiple hours a day. And it’s still overwhelming and kind of miserable. The 5 yo has severe ADHD but the 7 yo has no SN. Hang in there, OP! One of my challenges was my kids were so unbelievably hard as babies and toddlers and I told myself we would have turned the corner by now. But we haven’t really. It’s still excruciatingly hard. I often wish we’d just stuck with 1, but here we are.[/quote]
