Being a stay at home mom of two

  Being a stay at home mom of two children under the age of 5 is a lot of hard work. For those of you who think its easy. You better think again, And from personal experience, those of you who want to have more than one kid, You also better think again. Two is definitely a good limit.
      Whenever I hear a mom brag about her kids or how  much she loves being a mom, I often wonder if she is lying or just crazy. Its such hard work taking care of kids for free. If your a teen planning on having kids soon. I suggest you read this first before you decide to have kids early or even at all for that matter.
Here is a little preview of the day in the life of a mom of two kids. Wake up anywhere between 6:30 and 8:00 am. change diapers. get breakfast ready for the toddler then put the baby in the highchair. Hand feed him for about 15 minutes or however long it takes him to eat. Take the baby down, put him on the floor to crawl around while the toddler is watching TV. You attempt to wash dishes while yelling at your toddler not to hurt his little brother. Then check diapers again. Get the kids dressed. Get yourself dressed, don't even think about putting on makeup or doing your hair, there is no time for that business. Then check the Internet for any good coupon deals at the grocery store that you may have missed. Take both kids down to the the car. seat belt them both in. Put the diaper bag in the front seat next to you. Drive to the store.
Once you get to the store, you must try to park next to one of those spots where the shopping carts are put back , hoping they have some there still, so you can get the kids in the cart right away. If you wait til you get into the store, the older one may not listen to you and run off, You don't want to take any chances since you have the baby and can't run very fast after the toddler. Try to do your shopping as quickly as possible before the kids start acting out. Make sure to bring some candy or yummy snacks that you got on sale from another shopping trip so your toddler wont want to buy some more at a higher price that you cant afford.
After your done shopping you go back to the car, get the kids in again, seat belt them up. Put all the groceries in the trunk and head back home. by now its probably nap time. Try to get the kids to take a nap but they will fight with you and not want to. So then half the time you will just go back to the living room and put on cartoons. clean up around some areas but not the toys because they will just make a mess with that again. Then around 4 or 5 you attempt to cook dinner while trying to watch both kids at once while they scream at you for juice and snack.
Finally you get dinner done. The children's father arrives home from work. He eats and watches TV while you try to keep the kids entertained then around 7 or 8 you have to give each kid a bath. put on their clothes, struggle with them to brush their teeth and sometimes they don't even want to wash while they are in the bath. Then comes the fun part of trying to put them to bed when they don't want to go, They are tired but just don't want to go to sleep. So you stay up with them til 11 or 12. Finally they are asleep and you are so tired yourself that you just go to sleep too instead of having anytime at all for yourself. And if  you do decide to take time for yourself, you know you will be regretting it the next day when they wake up at the butt crack of dawn to start it all over again.
