I use to do it when they were asleep, that was my quiet time and time for me alone. Course that was many many years ago.... Darlene

Peace and quiet when you have kids???...Now, that's a good one!! My kids are 13 and 10 and they still pound on each other!! Threats usually work in this house because they know I mean business. Nothing violent of course, just extremely unpleasant for either one of them. They get to do the most miserable thing I can think of for them. If that doesn't work...my wife and I send them to someone else's house for the night!! Best of luck to you...Cap'n K-Man

My children are almost 14, almost 12 and the twins will be 4 on Saturday. I can not even go poop by myself. I always have someone with me it seems. Yeah, it is the life of a mom or so people tell me. When I get to the point that I will scream if I do not get a few minutes to myself my hub usually will keep them quiet so I can go take a nice long bath. It is not often, but it is VERY nice when it happens. This summer at camp the older 2 took the younger 2 to the playground a couple of times when Dad wasnt there. Of course I think they wanted something out of me. But it was worth it for 20 or so minutes of quiet. Things will get better, just hang in there a few more years.
