Watching other families kids is an adventure. After every day, you are exhausted and just want to rest and not listen to another complaint about how boring life is or that your brother just said something like "boogers" to you. Today is day 3 of spring break, and I have volunteered my services to watch 3 extra kids during this week.
Today is Wednesday, and with 6 kids, 7:45am-5pm, I am ready for a "spring break." It is a lot of work. Here is what it is. You have to SCHEDULE out your day and fill them with activities, then with 2 toddlers you have to CHASE them out of rooms they aren't allowed in, and last try to keep kids QUIET while Andy is sleeping. I am doing so much running, that now...
I am exhausted! THIS IS A LOT OF WORK. Maybe I am a whiner, I don't know but honestly, I don't know how people do it day in, and day out...and keep there sanity.
Am I a whiner? Honestly?

I dont know if your a winer, but your definetly a weiner.
oh no, you are not a whiner! I think taking care of other people's kids is a lot, LOT harder than taking care of your own- especially when it doubles your family size! good luck this week!
I don't think you're whining, just giving us a peak into your week. It definitely can be hard to watch other kids. Hope the week ends well.
Nice comment Ash. I agree with Brooke I think it's harder when their not your own. You don't know them as well and what works best to keep them occupied. Good luck!
Hang in there beth..you are not a whiner! LOL..Ash..weiner..lol. Anyways, its so draining on you watching others kids. I think your advice is the best, schedule, and get them out to play.
Welcome to the world of DAYCARE hehe.....and you wonder why I run for the mountain anytime I can! It's to keep my sanity :)
