HOW DOES ANYONE HAVE MORE THAN TWO KIDS!!!!!!!
It's official! I am going crazy w/ my children! Next time you see me I'll probably be trying to bite my ear or going into convulsions!!! I'm knocking on wood when I say this.... "No More Kids!!!!!" As much as I love my little ones, they are truly little monsters! Okay, maybe just Gianluca and Allegra at times. But they are perfect little angels when they are asleep! Gianluca thinks he needs to go to a friends house as soon as he wakes up in the morning and is always inviting himself over to other people's houses. I must be pretty boring! So if he is not doing that, he is teasing his sister because he is bored and he doesn't like to play by himself for more than five minutes. Then he's been picking up some bad habits from other kids w/ potty talk. "You're a poo poo head" and that sort of thing. He really is testing the limits!!! I can't wait until all day kindergarten. If only it were tomorrow. I know this sounds horrible, but I have to vent! He really is a sweet boy, but he's going through this bad phase and I think that I truly am going nuts. How am I supposed to get anything done around my house when I am constantly having to referie or entertain? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Any advice?

I am glad that you are venting. I think we must be on the same wave lengthen in the being "pushed" to our limits department (check my blog). My only advice is "Today is not forever". Your kids maybe driving you nuts today but it will not last forever. You will be given tender mercies. Oh and if this advice fails you just remember "A good sailor never sailed a smooth sea". :)
When are you coming to visit again?
Gianluca sounds like Dylan. The potty talk is an all-day battle for me for sure and Dylan ALWAYS wants to play with other kids too. Maybe it's their age and their beautiful little strong-willed spirits. I wish I had advice, but all I have is empathy! Did you read my last post on Dylan? Luckily he gets to see cousins twice a week and Anthony, the little boy I tend, twice a week. That definitely helps. Who would've thought more would be easier (not more of my own, but more to take care of that are the same age). That's what Amy says too. Diego is way easier when Dylan is at her house because they just go off and play. I heard 5 is a magical age if we can make it past 4.
I feel the exact same way! Leah has been a handful and a half lately. She does the same thing... wakes and wants to go play at someones house RIGHT away. At times I do feel like she rather be someone else's kid. Am I that boring? No kidding Sid, I have totally asked myself that same question! I have come to the conclusion that if I do everything possible to spend some one-on-one time with her (and Mylo) in the morning the rest of the day they leave me alone and they play with toys and are much better behaved kids. That is my suggestion. Also I give her "prices" like if "you stay out of time out for a week you will get a late movie with friends"(at home of course)She is trying and I just keep on reminding her. Good LUCK!
There's no solution...kids ultimate goal in life is to make their moms crazy! Just go to sleep and when you wake up, you'll have a new day with new energy...and then you can send him off to his friends! :)
I glad you're sharing your feeling on your blog, when years pass and you read this page, you'll gonna smile about it. I know that sounds hard to believe it, but...they'll grow out of it!!!!and I'm not kidding, what do you think I went through??? THAT guy that makes you laugh, it made me almost cried several years ago !
He was a social kid and a teaser, if any doubts just...ask Christian , hahaha and like Laura said:"a good sailor never sailed a smooth sea" and YOU have all the tools to be very good sailor!!!
advice : hugh them often and have if posible a little " special activity that is interesting to them and always remember that with motherhood also comes the "gift" to learn how to deal with them...and if need it, just call their "abu" Maggie (she is already crazy ! ) hahahha
I feel your pain sister! Like you said, I like to go in their rooms and watch them sleep. Then they become my precious little babies again, and I'm ready for another day. And P.S. I hit the crazies right around the same time with Makena and Cam and I think I was so crazy I had another kid!!! I try to always remember that this has got to better than the teenage years. I will definitely be insane then!

Sid, a mí me pasa lo mismo con Mati... sólo que todavia no lo escribí en mi blog. Justamente dias atrás leí el post de María y ahí comenté que me ocurre lo mismo que a ella... mejor dicho, lo mismo que a ustedes.... Entonces concluyo que lo mejor es compartir este sentimiento para estar seguras de que no estamos fallando como mamás, sino que evidentemente hay que atravesar esta edad de nuestros pequeños del mejor modo que consideremos. Me han dicho que los 3 y los 4 años representan la adolescencia de la infancia... por esto sus ganas permanentes de desafiar los límites y el vocabulario que intentan utilizar. Será que esto es una especie de entrenamiento para lo que nos harán renegar en sus teens??? Realmente no es facil ser mamá sin contar con un manual, asi que creo que se trata de emplear el método "prueba y error"... tratando siempre de hacer lo mejor para ellos, aunque muuuuy a menudo nos hagan perder los cabales!. Any way Gianlu is adorable!
happy mother's day!!!! hahahaha... someday we'll be wishing our problems were potty talk... :)
oh sid... i know you are frustrated, but getting caught up on your blog (since i've been in the dark newborn hole the past month...) makes me so happy even though you want to pull the dude's hair out! i love that kid. he has the most colorful personality! hang in there... the time will go by too fast and before you know it, he'll be in middle school and want you to drop him off 3 blocks before school cuz he needs to stay "cool", enjoy every moment even the poo-poo ones. love you!
