**daycare PROGRAM like that**
Do they have a "Mother's Day Out" program in your area? I know slot of SAHMs who enroll their kids in a daycare origen like that. They only go one or 2 days out of the week to give the mom a much needed break! I only stayed home with my first until he was almost 2. Then we put him in daycare. I'll be staying home with this baby as well and unless I get pregnant again within the 2 year mark, she'll be going to daycare as well and I'll be going back into the salon to work.
I'm 33+ wks... I'm in the same boat. I hate to complain bcuz I love being w my kids & staying home, but it can be suffocating. I have a 7 yo, who's very active in sports, school, etc. a teething 18 mo & prego w #3. I haven't slept since 16 wks prego & I'm tired & overwhelmed. I find I have no patience, can't do anything rt, I forget everything, I feel like a bad mom. I started doing a yoga class 7:30-8:30 pm, it's been nice but then I feel bad bcuz I miss saying goodnight to my lil 1s. Ugh... But it's good to get a breather away. My bday is on Mother's Day & I'm going to meet up w a friend, go for a walk, get a massage & have lunch w her. U have to take time w yourself & don't feel quilty when U do. I work out every am-home prenatal DVD-which helps a lot but I have to wake @ 5:45, before the house is up. Its not hard-I'm awake anyway from hip pain so it helps to get moving. Yesterday my 18mo, had a melt down @ bathtime & I lost it-just started crying, luckily my hubby came in & just took over. Try to take a breath & a minute for yourself. It's so important.
Maybe you can have a family member or your husband take care of them for anew entire day so you can have time alone.
I am 32 weeks along and my patience are low and I really don't like being touched in anyway these days
