I have a four year old and 16 mo old and am a stay at home mum. My older son goes to nursery four days a week in the morning. I never seem to be able to get the housework done, make meals, play with kids, let alone an other sort of task done. I've tried various routine ideas and they all just go out the window, but I feel like I'm always just treading water not able to manage it, always behind on everything. My real battle is how much tv to let them watch vs how much other things i can get done. Any thoughts from mums with similar age kids would be great.
The main issue is the younger boy just doesn't really play on his own, so when he's up he's an attention seeker a good deal of the time.
Thanks in advance for help here... I know lots of others feel the same way, but I would love to hear how you deal with things. Cheers.
