A Stay at Home Moms 4-6pm

Every day from the hours of 4pm -6pm are the toughest hours of a stay at home moms day. You may think I’m at home watching reruns of Oprah and snacking on something with my feet propped up, but no. In fact, it has to be the most creative hours of the day for a mom. The art of keeping kids content, busy, awake if they didn’t nap, happy, fed, and obedient. Ah yes, it’s a full-time job. For those of you that once had young kids or currently have young kids, you’ll be real familiar with these tough few hours. Your conversations may at times sound a lot like mine.

ME:

“No, no snack right now. Dinner will be ready in a little bit.”

“Where’s your brother?”

 ”Are you whining? “

“Stop that.”

“What’s in your mouth?”

“You’re such a sweet boy”

“Where did you find that?”

“Ewe! Yuck! We don’t eat things off of the floor.”

“Let’s play a game.”

“No, don’t fight. We can agree on something or take turns.”

“Alright, fine. We’re not playing any games since you can’t get along.”

“Where’s your brother?”

“How did you get into the bathroom?!”

“Gross. We don’t drink the toilet water!”

“Why is your sister crying?”

“What happened?”

“No. We are not playing a game because of the way you guys are acting.”

“Daddy should be home soon.”

“No, no snacks. Dinner will be ready soon.”

“Please don’t sit on your sister.”

“No. She doesn’t like it.”

“Where’s your brother?”

“Now whats in your mouth?”

“Ewe!”

“No! No snacks! Dinner will be ready soon!”
