[quote=Anonymous]SO takes over this job. You can explain to the older one if you think it will help, but then you disappear and SO takes over. If necessary, go to your bedroom, LOCK the door, and do not answer it. SO's job is to keep the kids occupied, entertained, and alive. And also to keep them from trying to get to you. Is SO their parent and/or do they have a good relationship? If so, s/he should be able to do this without any explanation from you to your older child. "Mom is tired and needs to some peace and quiet. What do you need? I will help you." I need this type of thing a few days a week and DH and I have an understanding. He knows that when I say I need some time to rest, he needs to keep the kids (ages 3 and 5) downstairs and involved in something, and I go watch TV, nap, read, whatever, alone in our bedroom, for an hour or so. He gets the same privilege when he needs it.[/quote]
