Luckily we have playcentre twice a week, and I'm thinking of doing mainly music as well, depending on the time of day (Jake REALLY needs his afternnon nap). Thank goodness, the boys are starting to synchronise sleep times. woohoo!]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 21:06:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74603&title=sane-and-sahm#74603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74599&title=sane-and-sahm#74599 Author: my2angels

I like to take the kids on an outing a week, say to the park or the library etc. Speaking of the library, we have an awesome set of books at ours called "Your Child at Play". It is all about preschoolers' (birth to 5yrs) development and helps me understand what they're really thinking and trying to do, and that helps me stay sane

And join or get a mums' group going each week or fortnight. It's great!]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 20:28:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74588&title=sane-and-sahm#74588 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74300&title=sane-and-sahm#74300 Author: EllenMumof2

lots of time out whenever possible, playgroups etc to tire the kids out :) whatever gets them playing quietly at home!
and i subscribe to the thought that sanity is overrated. i havent had any for quite some time and i am doing fine!!! ]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:05:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74176&title=sane-and-sahm#74176 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74117&title=sane-and-sahm#74117 Author: Peace

I can feel the cracks from time to time as well!! I normally just get on out for a walk to town or spend my time gasbagging (online or on the phone or go for coffee)!!
I wouldn't prefer to do anything else!]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:44:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74117&title=sane-and-sahm#74117 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74077&title=sane-and-sahm#74077 Author: nuttymama

I lost my sanity a long time ago. You just manage to wade through the insanity and muddle through. If all else fails sit in the corner humm and rock like you have never rocked before. ]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 09:29:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74077&title=sane-and-sahm#74077 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74070&title=sane-and-sahm#74070 Author: Guests

Lewis got a job yesterday ! woohoo. He'l be a duty manager at one of the local bars. Only thing is, I've just realised that I wi,ll be a SAHM...by myself...for the first time in a loooong time. and I'm kinda freaking out. Now, I know I CAN do this - I've done it before )and quite frankly, might be easier without Lewis to clean up after too), however I really worry about losing my sanity, as the kids drives me nuts at times. So, how do SAHMs stay sane??????]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 07:15:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3868&PID=74031&title=sane-and-sahm#74031
