Is this normal lol

two little kids (2 and 5) never know what to do with them or how to fill the time. Everywhere is busy and expensive. But if you stay home it’s awful.

I totally get it! I find the constantly having to think of things to do really hard work. And you’re right staying home is also very hard work 😂😭. Those people you see on social media who are like ‘slow mornings with the kids’ I’m like how??? The only way I can drink my morning cup of tea is if I also make breakfast for DD and let her sit on the sofa and watch TV while I drink it, which goes against various guidelines 😂. Things like soft play etc are not enjoyable for adults (and sometimes the kids!) and everything costs a fortune. So yes, YANBU.
