I have never, ever seen him "go" and he's never seen me. I had forsight, here. This means that, like you, I have a bathroom sanctuary where I can grab my favorite book, say "Oh, honey, it must have been something I ate...", ignore him saying "But this is the fifth time today!" as I pat the children on the head and practically skip to the bathroom. Once I turn the fan on, I'll either sit on the floor or just curl up in the empty bathtub and read a chapter or two. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if he's on to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337050572481826325.post-76320142709790695002008-04-18T18:00:00.000-04:002008-04-18T18:00:00.000-04:00I found your blog a few weeks ago and really enjoy...I found your blog a few weeks ago and really enjoy it.

Now is the time to establish your space and get your kids and husband to respect you a little. Being "heroic" is only going to leave you burned out and make your children harder to handle. "wait until mommy comes out of the bathroom" is a great rule to start teaching now.pblitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495923606953607851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337050572481826325.post-89404260541001228462008-04-15T18:31:00.000-04:002008-04-15T18:31:00.000-04:00Was laughing all the way through this!

My 7 month old is teething now so I've had many sleepless nights. Last night she woke up at 4 am wanting to play. It's so hard to say no to those cute little hands and eyes. But like all things we make sure we do. I know I don't want to be saying where did the time go when she's 18 and going to college.AGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054507968622915571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337050572481826325.post-87979007194755169642008-04-15T17:15:00.000-04:002008-04-15T17:15:00.000-04:00Kudos to all the mothers on here.
