The problem with being a work at home mom... even my best friend thinks I just sit around and do nothing all day, and asks me to babysit. No.

what I think you do is actually one step from a padded room but with a lot more kids running around and screaming
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T19:16:01.000Z
that's pretty accurate

Even my dog comes and gives me a wet nose interruption to my work at home day (but that's alright )

Making money while you make money! Hope you're charging for all the snacks they'll consume! Kids eat a lot

yeah, i'm not doing it lol. she found someone else. i would get nothing done

2015-03-17T22:38:46.000Z
annnd, the kids that are here every day to play with my kids... there is no way they'd pay me lol. their dad picks them up from school, drives by and just drops them off here without even texting me first.

I started shouting. Like just... "GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT." It's the only thing that penetrated the fog of derrr she does nothing. I work freaking 60+ hours a week. That doesn't all happen in between coffee

dates and lunch. When they start stomping in I just say I'm working and turn them around. H knows no kids in the house before 5pm unless it's raining, then they can play in her room.

i'm gonna have to put on my bitchy pants, cause it's wearing on me. it's spring break right now, so i'm being nice.
Annie
2015-03-17T22:41:39.000Z
Her room is bigger than most people's living rooms, and she has a TV and an xbox in it, so it's not exactly a harsh punishment. lol

You have to work. Your kids enjoy the fruits of your work just as much as you do.
Annie
2015-03-17T22:42:21.000Z
It's really good that you're teaching them that this stuff doesn't magically show up. It comes through hard work.

Hannah knows she comes first, but in that coming first is providing for her, not just being fun cool play mum.
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:43:12.000Z
they understand that i'm working, so they give me some time to get some things done, luckily. they're old enough that they mostly entertain themselves when i'm busy
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:43:41.000Z
buttt, i need there to not be extra kids in my house constantly, cause that means i'm responsible for them
Annie
2015-03-17T22:44:32.000Z
Maybe you could set a single day aside for that and explain to them.. hey, I can't do what I need to do with this going on.
Annie
2015-03-17T22:44:41.000Z
and they'll get that. They're mature and good kids
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:45:18.000Z
yep, after spring break, i'm starting with at least one day. even when they go to their mom's, they walk over here lol.
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:46:29.000Z
i had to explain to my kids that not all kids get to just walk all over town and do what they want. most kids have rules, even if they're different than ours. so, they're fighting me less on enforcing it

parenting is so much easier without outside influences
Annie
2015-03-17T22:48:01.000Z
My greatest ambition for 2015 is to teach her not to leave her underpants on the bathroom floor. You're aiming high there. I salute you.

But the kids by us are all children of extremely rich middle class farmers and they call their parents Mummy and Father and all speak with English accents. They go pony trekking after school.
Annie
2015-03-17T22:49:26.000Z
I'm really just very happy if I actually cook a food and it's not takeout. (LOL) F pony trekking

great. and there's my 12 year old who sings about poop while watching youtube videos.
Annie

My 8 year old thinks it's hilarious to fart on us.

Our spring break starts April 1st. It's 3 weeks.

i'm sure the girls would have a great time playing games and making youtube videos for a non existent youtube channel

three horribly long weeks
Annie
2015-03-17T22:53:59.000Z

RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:54:05.000Z
insane
Annie
2015-03-17T22:54:16.000Z
and they would (LOL)
Annie
2015-03-17T22:54:23.000Z
and we'd have to sit and watch each and every video
Annie

it hasn't been 'too' bad, really. the kids haven't fought much so far, and i've actually gotten a bit of work done
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:55:03.000Z
i'm having more issues with the puppy than the kids, currently
Annie
2015-03-17T22:55:12.000Z
but the puppy is adorable
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:55:23.000Z
he does have that going for him
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:56:24.000Z
but he's a pee monster
RayvnHynes

Annie
2015-03-17T22:57:07.000Z
well there is one silver lining lol
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:57:27.000Z
he's getting there. he's 4 months now. he can't quite tell when he has to go yet
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T22:57:42.000Z
really close though
Gogo ♔ says
2015-03-17T23:37:19.000Z
ok i was just thinking about those kids that come to play, maybe you could trick them into doing some fun chores LOL
Gogo ♔ says
2015-03-17T23:37:30.000Z
raking, pulling random weeds, lol
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T23:37:37.000Z
hahaha, i wish
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T23:37:47.000Z
i should try though. if they want to play, they have to do chores
Gogo ♔ says
2015-03-17T23:38:00.000Z
make it a competitive game, my mom use to do this to me.. "who can organize the beeeest?"
Gogo ♔ says
2015-03-17T23:38:01.000Z
LOL
RayvnHynes
2015-03-17T23:38:24.000Z

Gogo ♔ says
2015-03-17T23:38:34.000Z
