And I'm the same way at her house. We pitch in and help each other. This particular one sits. And her little can be a bit of a handful, now that she's realized she can exert her will!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624664035812768480.post-67279018225388439842009-07-02T13:28:28.212-06:002009-07-02T13:28:28.212-06:00Yeah, a MOPS friend came over with her 4 kids and ...Yeah, a MOPS friend came over with her 4 kids and stayed over 3 hours-- eating into Elon's naptime. I thought that was a bit much. I felt bad when I realized how long I had stayed at this play date-- I hope she didn't feel the same way about me as I did about the lady with the 4 kids! For me, it isn't about how many kids you have; it's how they behave and whether or not it is my child's naptime-- I NEED that time to myself!<br /><br />Hee,hee-- I would've had to throw some hints to that lady, "Ummm Elon has to take a nap now..." and hopefully she can fill in the blanks.New Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092666784683670124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624664035812768480.post-55779273224118282352009-07-01T04:03:53.980-06:002009-07-01T04:03:53.980-06:00I wouldn't stay any longer, unless it was plan...I wouldn't stay any longer, unless it was planned that way before hand.<br />A friend and her daughter had been coming on Tuesdays, she stayed from 9:30- nearly 2 the first several times, then from 10:30 'til nearly 2 the next couple.( B. gets home at 3:30- so my day was completely shot.) I feel terrible for saying so, but I was ready for them to leave after an hour and a half. (I have 3 kids who still nap- her 18 month old hasn't napped- maybe ever).<br />Fortunately, she is pregnant and sick- I know, that was mean- But summers are crazy busy with the garden and canning, and B. wants me to go strong with home pre-schooling this fall, so hopefully we can go to once in a while, instead of every week.<br /> Sorry, I didn't mean to dump all that on you, but boy does it feel good to get off my chest!<br />Glad you got a break, and Elon was content!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.com
