I know why the board is quieter!

CarlaAndJames · April 2012

It's bc now that our LOs are mobile, SAHMs have zero chance of bumping!

At home with Lexi today, and even sick she has me running in circles. Not that I didn't know that already from the weekends, but it is different when DH isn't here and I'm having to follow her around and try to keep her schedule going.

Anyway...again, not that I didn't recognize it already, but it needs to be said - SAHMs, your job is hard!

I totally agree. These kids are so fast! I feel like I am always chasing behind Lamar.

LOL, I am just realizing it because Liam just started crawling 2 weeks ago. Not that the job was much easier, because he rolled or inch wormed everywhere but it sure is more difficult having to chanse him crawling.

No joke! With our move to Ohio I became a SAHM. Between DD crawling like a maniac, preparing/feeding/cleaning up 3 meals, nursing etc...I feel like I can hardly keep up. A huge kudos to the working mamas who seem to do all this PLUS bring home the bacon. I give you all MAD MAD props!

But yes, OP, this is why I can hardly bump anymore...and sadly don't know how to from my iPhone. Sad

Go SAHMs!!!

I wish I were at home chasing my baby! She is just so much fun right now. Plus, she's starting to walk and is so cute doing it. Every time she gets somewhere by walking, she starts clapping and looks at us to make sure we are clapping too!

Yep that's exactly it for me. No more putting her in the swing or on her playmat while I bump. She's everywhere tearin apart the house and getting into everything. I also have to go outside as much as possible with her to try to wear her out because the house is just too small to do it indoors.

Also I used to bump from my phone a lot while she was nursing but now her daytime nursing sessions are super brief if they happen at all. She's just too busy.

Just wait til y'all have TWO Wink

I just leave TB and FB up on my laptop all day and come check whenever I get a second. Usually while the kids are eating or sleeping. Trying to unpack my house at the same time and that is a challenge!

i have been not on hear that much and yes its because LO is mobile!!!! so my "lunch break" is when she takes her nap i sit on the sofa with my coffee and catch up on tv shows because im in bed at 8:30. I spend all day cleaning and re-cleaning its exhausting!

I seriously have no idea how the working moms even have energy to crawl into bed at night! Tuesdays are my day to take Emma to the office with me and I don't think it will last much longer. Me trying to accomplish anything + a baby who never sits still + a non-baby-proofed office means I'm exhausted by 11 am! The ONLY way I'm able to be here anymore is that I finally figured out how to use my smartphone while she's nursing or temporarily distracted by her toys.

I also only find a minute here and there during the day, and often on the phone or iPod since it is more discreet (and he has eyes for the laptop these days.). When he was younger and I was EPing and he would play on mat or in swing, it gave me lots of Pump'n'Bump time! DH has been back on afternoon and nights a bit lately, so I have caught up in the evenings. There isn't as much to catch up on, both a pro and con.

Just imagion having 2 crawling babies....lol plus two toddlers

Ya my computer time is limited but I do have a playard for the boys so I can get housework down...but I have to do 15 to 30 minutes chunks on a good day!

PurdueMama14 · April 2012

Yeah, I tried to respond to this thread like 30 minutes ago, but had to go chase Reed away from my purse. lol

It's really hard to me to bump these days.

Haha this is my LO too! I used to be able to bump (more like lurk) when LO was not crawling.

I just started back at work and frankly I think I'm on VACATION. my husband (who is not staying at home) is working. SAHMs are the biggest work-a-holics, slave workers ever.
