How do you keep SANE being a SAHM????

[twincrazy]

Well I should be quite used to it by now, you would think?!

My part time job working from home has left me totally bored and dented.

I have a big age gap twins are almost 14 and the little one is almost 3

I do make plans to meet friends etc..but I AM SOOOOOOOO BORED!!!!!!!

I know at the moment lo is poorly so have been stuck in since sunday, but anyway still I FEEL SOOOOO BORED..

How do you all make your days brighter???

the thing is, for those that suggested the arts and crafts / baking etc, that for some people, dong these things with a toddler just isn't very interesting, or, in my case, the toddler doesn't want to do them for more than 3 mins. He isn't into building castles or railway tracks or any of the things that take a long time - seriously, I have sat and built them myself in the hope he'll join in but he doesn't. It may change when he is a little older but seriously, I was SO pleased to go back to work part time and honestly think he spends his time more productively at pre-school than with me. OP as others have said, being OUT is the key, even just being at a friend's, though I agree there is only so much coffee and biscuits you can take!

God, I love it. DD is at pre-school for 15 hours and will start FT school this September but I'm having a ball. DD has lots of activities after pre-school so I sit reading in the cafe whilst she's doing those. I really enjoy the company of other parents too - I enjoy talking about our kids but we also talk about politics and books we're reading (we all seem to read loads). I'm also writing a novel.

SAHMing suits me perfectly but obviously doesn't suit you. You should definitely look for work.
