When young kids are constantly entertained, whether through a daycare/preschool, or by parent with a ton of activities, they never learn to play by themselves, and tend to be more needy/fight constantly bc they rely on that entertainment from others. I would have them get used to playing by themselves. Try not to plan out the day. Let them wander and figure it out. Boredom is good bc then they will get creative with what they have. It may take time to get to that stage though.

It’s refreshing to hear you “complain” about being frustrated with the whining and arguing because we don’t see that side of your family, so it’s easy to form this idea that they are perfect all the time. Being out of school is definitely contributing because my daughter is 6 and whines all day if I’m not constantly playing with her, but honestly, I just distract myself and eventually she’ll go find something to play. Playing on their own and being bored is good for them, and I too find myself wishing for bed time and then when she’s asleep I feel so bad. My husband works overnight so when he’s upstairs sleeping I get frustrated because he’s home and can’t help me too. Hang in there mama!! We’re all going thru this! This video made us feel very relatable to you! Xoxo

Take it from someone who is an older sister who doesn’t get along (and never got along) with her younger sister. No matter what, always be consistent with both girls. If one gets time out for fighting, they both get timeout for fighting. Shay’s TO may need to be shorter based on her age. As an educator myself, the rule was always 1 minute for each year of age, so Shay would get 2 minutes while Baylee would get 5. At the end of TO talk to each girl individually about why they were in TO. Ask if they understand why they were put in TO & what they will do to avoid TO next time. For Baylee, she’s old enough to be your helper. When things get heated, tell Baylee she’s going to be your special helper and help you with whatever needs done (cleaning, laundry, dishes). If Shay then wants to fight about being a helper too, great! Tell her she is going to help you by playing with Grayson while you and Baylee get things done. Then you can switch off: Shay can help you with some things while Baylee “watches” Gray. It’s about divide and conquer while also being consistent. My sister got away with everything as a kid and I was always the one disciplined. It builds resentment. My parents never discussed with me why i was being disciplined and my sister wasn’t. Today I am 42 and my sister and I have no relationship. I was never made to feel important by my parents when I was younger. This inspired me to only have one child of my own since my sibling experience was so negative. Each of your girls needs to feel individually special. Sorry for the rant but I hope it helps.

I’m a stay at home mom and I LOVE being a mom more than anything but this time right now is hard and the whining and fighting with them is out of control. Everything you described is what our days look like lately. I guess I just want to say thanks for being real and talking a little about it because I tend to compare my parenting/kids to others and judge myself hard and I know I shouldn’t - it’s just easy to when you never see or hear about the negative parts. 💕 Hang in there, hopefully all of our schedules will go back to normal soon!!

Not a mom but my sister and I have the same age difference as your girls. When I was younger my mom would keep us on a schedule, not a tight one but just a list of things that we would do consistently day after day. It definitely kept her sane during the summers. One of the biggest things my parents did for us was use our breaks to help build good study habits and practice our reading and writing. Your girls are young but it's never too early to start. I suggest taking an hour or two everyday to read with them in the afternoon, and maybe with Bailey have her practice her letters. I've studied developmental psych as well and this is the best time to stimulate their minds and show them how fun learning can be! Praying for you :)

Don’t be afraid to instill more discipline. Something so simple as having them sit in a quiet place by themselves for a couple minutes, and explaining to them face to face that what they did is not nice, and that is not how we act towards people we love. Try to tell them to use their words, and explain to one another what bothers them. Kids will be kids as well. The right form of Discipline now is what will impact on how they act the older they get.

Another youtuber did a schedule for her kids, which I thought was cool. That way they know what they are doing & at which times.

This gives me a little time by myself with no kids to do relax have lunch/take a shower or whatever . Also, what I do when I begin to get all stressed and mad that all this is going on is count my blessings! I know that sounds cliché but it’s very true luckily I can stay at home with my babies knowing that they are safe from this disease and knowing that I am personally safe from giving it to them or being Quarantine away from them .

Punish them equally however I am a strong believer that the eldest sets the example. You can talk with your oldest to set the example for the little one. It’s tough as they get older it gets a little better but hold them responsible for their actions, I promise i can relate to the guilt of putting them in time out, but it’s needed.

I have raised 4 children, and having children is HARD!! But also amazing as you know!! These are strange days indeed. Today I saw my 29-year-old son and I could not even hug him for fear of getting him sick. Even though I take all of the precautions I could still get sick, and he has two daughters so if I were to hug him he could pass it to them. It’s just so crazy and scary right now!! And finally, kudos to you for being open and honest about how your children sometimes misbehave and that they aren’t perfect. You WILL get through this, we all will, and in the mean time we can support each other with encouragement and kindness 😀🥰

Losing my mind as well! I am working remotely (including having to get on conference calls/virtual meetings) from home, and between that and keeping up with my 3 year old I’m a hot mess express! Hang in there mama! 💗

You are doing great really. Take it from a mom with 2 semi grown kids. 19 and 16. They still fight sometimes. You are having to navigate through difficult times. I know it is easier said than done but even when the girls are being moody try and take a breath and step back from the moment. Gather yourself and remember they pick up on your energy. From what I have seen on your videos you truly are doing great. You have two beautiful girls that at sweet and caring. And an amazing little boy that adores you. Trust in God and breath.

I 100% can relate to you about Baylee & Shay. I have girls the same age and they fight all the time, and it feel so frustrating at time. Mom guilt is real but know that you are not alone, and your doing a great job!

Not being mean or anything but you should talk to them about being grateful. There are some kids who are quarantined without all the fun activities and toys as your kids or those who don't know where their next meal is coming from.

Mine always loved playing teacher/school. Get a chalk board and a dry erase board, paper, etc. and let them go at it. I got my daughter a bunch of fake money, bulletin board letters, and little fake “hall passes” at dollar tree. It’s crazy how many $1 items like that you can find. Print off preschool worksheets or coloring pages too. My youngest is 11 and still loves to play school and she’s the teacher. Good luck!

Go for adventure drives to rest and relax. Just drive for 30 to 45 min thats what i call them. I tell kids if your good then you get something when we get home. Depends on age at this it may be $2 for older kids.

We ordered an inexpensive play set from amazon to put in our backyard. The girls have to play hard to not fight in our home! Also no joke, we “race” each other back and forth. The running makes them have less unused energy! It’s been the only that’s helping. My girls are 16 months apart and they have to play hard to not scream and fight with each other all day. Hang in there!❤️

Sis, I feel for you. But Adam locking himself in a room daily til 5pm to do class work is insane. You should talk to him! Even if he is taking the max course load, I don’t think it should take all day to do class work. 🧐 Most classes don’t meet everyday also? Lol talk to him about how you feel, three kids on your own daily is tough, especially when he’s in the room next door.

Ah I hear you! Yesterday I had that kind of day ...and today too. Can you find a friend with kids to FaceTime and make play dough with your kids? I’ve done that twice since “quarantine” it keeps the kids entertained and the ingredients are all easy! by the way you’re an awesome mommy!!

I’m so glad that you said that we are going through the same thing. Just keep pushing through we will make it out successful and we are so bless because they are so many families that the husband or wife are sick with the virus at a hospital and/or at home and it could be way worse.

It’s frustrating when everyone who does not have kids think having kids right now is the best thing because we have entertainment and having kids during this time is far more difficult because kids don’t understand what is going on. I have a 5 year old, 3 year old and 6 month. I know how you are feeling. Stay strong mamas!!!

We are from NY. I have a 5 yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. Having kiddos close in age means I can set up learning activities for both. They fight all the time too. But I've realized that if I see up a productive day for them they are less likely to fight...idle hands as they say. When their brains have been nurtured they get along better. Go to learning websites like scholastic learn from home. They have learning activities that are perfect for both kiddos! Then print out worksheets that are free online.

Definitely try doing quiet time with the girls. We do ours after lunch. My daughter goes in her room and plays while I wash the dishes and rest. Usually it ends up being about 45 minutes.

Hi tara... Im going exactly the same situation. Kids/ husband.... Just to let you know how im handling it. With the kids i let them play in their own room (separate rooms) as a punishment so they can appreciate being together. And about husband i do all i can through out the day. But after "class is over" the kids are his. I go in the shower. Take my time to pamper myself. Eat in my room by myself. And the baby that is more chill at that time can come to my room to watch tv. Or we play make up time... Or do something fun. But just the two of us... You can also alternate them every evening, so you don't feel that mama guilt... It also helps for that bonding time with them....

I’d definitely recommend getting an outdoor play set! It’s been my saving grace lately and compensates for the usual playground. I love kid crafts the best because they’re girly

Oh my gosh I know the feeling when you have the kids all to your self knowing your spouse is there but can't help because he is doing school. My husband had to go to school then come home do some more schooling. It can be overwhelming. I thought I was going crazy. He's done with school but I remember them days.😩
