[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if you answered this question yet I'm sorry I missed it but I'm damn curious--do you use a cleaning service? How often? How often do you eat out vs cook at home?

Also--what are your children's temperaments?

As a SAHM who can't afford a cleaning service, or to eat out a lot, and has two very "strong willed" children (no, it's not a discipline problem) I've found being at home much harder than if I had help and if I had kids that weren't so darn emotional all the time :)[/quote]

It may not be a discipline issue but it may be a parenting issue. Have you taken any parenting courses to give you different perspectives or approaches to try? Some kids are easier than others to figure out by trial and error. We get training and education in so many areas but rarely in parenting yet it is a science, a skill and an art form that often would benefit from outside input and professional development.

Op, did you write this?  Yes I've read the books, yes I've taken pep classes.  My kids aren't bad, they are just not easy going. Colic, screamed for months in the carseat as infants, things like that. I see kids happily sitting in strollers and my kids didn't do that, it wasn't for lack of trying.  [/quote]
