[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice above. Loosen up a little, don't try to be so perfect  - take out food when you have to, let them have unbrushed hair... Let the kids pick what take out they want, and if they don't let you brush their hair call it wacky hair day (meanwhile, teach them to do it themselves). Pick and choose your battles. Set aside a day each week or month for a mommy day either individually with each kid or together if you have to where they get to do what they want (within reason - you're still the mom!). Make things fun - sing silly songs for teeth brushing or add accessories for hair time. They will think you're fun while you're getting things accomplished.

Pay people when you can for some of the more difficult tasks if you need help - even a local teenager to help vacuum out the cars. How old are your kids? What can they start to help with? DH can take on SOME more responsibility with every day stuff.

You can't blame someone else because YOU"RE not being perceived as fun. Be the good reliable mom that you are, and they will love you for it. Loosen up a little so you can all have a little more fun in the process.[/quote]
