[quote=Anonymous]It does get easier OP. My boys are 4 & 6 and I don't need to watch them like hawks anymore. But, parenting can be exhausting, especially if you're bearing the brunt of all the labor. 1. Make sure that you get downtime during the weekend days. What we've done is enforce a 60 minute quiet time, and if they do that successfully, they get a 30 min video after. That pretty much ensures I get 90 minutes of time more or less to relax. Not sure if your 2.5 year old is still napping, but enforcing quiet time for your older DS during that time would get you some downtime. Or, hire someone for a couple hours every Sunday morning or something. 2. Go outside. For some reason, parenting is easier for me when the kids are outside. A hike, a playground, the pool, whatever. 3. Play with friends. Same as the above. Parenting is generally easier somehow during a playdate. Hang in there OP.[/quote]
