I Had a Busy Week – House Full of Kids

This week I had a crazy week at home, I can say it was house full of kids. Between nephews and neighbor boy and girls I had an average of five kids per day in the pool.

I love to see them having fun, playing with each other and laughing but I must confess that it’s not easy for me. They call me every time they make a special dive in the pool, every time they need a dry towel, every time they want to eat. It’s difficult to organize my life with them since the plan I make in the morning are never accomplished.

My daughter learned to ride the bike without the side wheels so she just wants to ride on the street. Usually I take advantage of the fact that I have to be outside with her to go for a cup of coffee in a nearby coffee shop.

All together it was a great week although I neglected my blogs.  Facebook is also driving my attention from post writing. This is something I have to work on.

Well, let’s see how the next week will be.

    There’s often no happy medium when children come to visit and play at your house. Though your own kids are happy and it’s good for them to socialize, it can be a strain to take care of all of them.

    I try to make sure that play dates are scheduled equally at our house and the other children’s homes. I’m lucky that the other parents feel the same way that I do!

    Connie, the problem right now is that I’m the only jobless neighbor, the kids are on Summer holidays and the other parents that are working let the kids at home alone so…soon or later they come knock at my door to play.

    When I was working my kids stayed in a daycare where they had a lot of activities to do while I was at work, but some of my neighbors let the kids stay at home alone.

    Also some neighbors have strict rules and they don’t let the kids play inside their houses. I don’t mind the kids play with toys inside my house, of course I have a little more work but…they have to play.

    I understand what you’re saying. We have a nice sized pool in our back yard and one neighbor in particular likes to bring her daughter over to swim (when we invite her) and then find excuses to leave her at our house while she goes back home to do her thing. I have to be in the pool area at all times because our kids are 3 & 5 but it’s still challenging to watch more than my own two in the pool. I find myself not inviting this neighbor over as often as I would if she would just stick around and watch over her daughter while she’s swimming!
