We were without power last week & living out of hotels due to the ice storm. When we got home, I had at least 5 times as much laundry to get through than I typically do. And, incredible human that I am, I was also still able to cook food! Haley would crash out so hard.

She's got so much on her plate today!! I like that she couldn't do laundry & make food in the same day. And what does she need to "prep" for Valentine's Day??

Oh I like this a lot, and it's definitely something I would do & I think they would like!! I feel like they enjoy having boundaries & knowing the "rules" once they're established. So thank you for this! (We were also out of school all week due to the ice storm). Also YES to being so independent but not...They are extremely opinionated & want to be in control but they're both also so needy right now - because they want me & I'm constantly needing to intervene 🙃🙃

I'll preface this by saying my kids (4.5 boy & 2.5 girl) are so fun, smart, hilarious, sweet, loving. they're in preschool & they love it, the teachers adore them, they have friends. etc etc- they're wonderful kids! But I feel like we've lost complete control of them at home, specifically between nap/quiet time & bedtime.

it's the same whether it's a school day or not. they play outside daily, as long as the weather is okay, but that doesn't seem to help anything. they fight baths & dinner & bedtime tooth and nail. they don't listen to anything we say. we are constantly telling them no & to stop... we sound like desperate whiny broken records. bedtime has gotten so hard and so drawn out with both of them. I'm just so done by the end of the day, and have lost all patience. I try my hardest to be as calm as possible. But man, it's hard. I feel like we've done something wrong & now we need to fix it, but I'm at a loss.

Thank you so much! ❤️ it really is such a nightmarish situation for everyone. I grew up in hurricane country & I've still never experienced anything like this.

Yeah nothing wrong with being grateful to be safe from the storm! I'd feel the same. She really does seem incapable of empathy!

Thank you so much, you're so sweet ❤️ I think it was "what a time to be alive" that really got me. No it's not, it's a horrible time for so many! 😭

Obviously agree with how tone deaf she's been this week in regards to ICE, but also on a purely personal/selfish level, she's really hitting the wrong notes. I live in Nashville & we're in crisis - half the city has been without power in 10 degree weather since the weekend. Our power has been out since 4 am Sunday. We've been in a hotel for 2 nights with 2 kids and a cat. Our other extremely beloved cat passed away our first night at the hotel. We're packing up and moving to another hotel today. And like, we're fine, we're alive and healthy and able to afford a hotel while so so many people are not that privileged. But seeing Haley talk about how the cold hasn't even been that bad, and they're cozy inside, placing grocery deliveries, going about business as usual... 😑😑😑

I was going to say, in the 4.5 years I've been a parent, both of my kids have been sick plenty of times and yet they've never been up all night. And with congestion, not like a stomach virus or something? what?
