So ..........
Let's dish.
No, seriously, for reals. My question is this:
When is it right to stand over your children and make sure they are playing nicely and calmly and not hurting each other? It is all I ever feel like I do. When can I trust that they are calmly playing with trucks or reading books or building blocks and I can actually sit and have a HOT cup of coffee?
Today at a school picnic held at the school due to threatening rain, majority of the other mothers or fathers could sit, enjoy a meal, listen to the retirees speak ... while I chased my children up and down the hallways and tried to shove food down their throats.
When do you know if your children are ready to play on their own? I know it is much easier shut in our apartment than at a school picnic, but I want to able to say I have let them be, let them build their imaginations, let them share ... without pummeling each other!
