Overlord of the house. I have 2 jesters and 4 furry acrobats.
I live san jose, Ca I have a 3 and 4 year old. It's so hard not to "help" them finish their plates and snacks :bigsmile:
Tooo funny! I know, my youngest (is 2) she is ALWAYS trying to feed me saying "mom...bite" I'm like no thank-you sweetie as she is trying to jam whatever food in my mouth! LOL!0 -
My kids are grown, but I'm a SAHM to 3 fur balls! It's really hard being home with the fridge all day!!:laugh:0

*Raises hand* SAHM of a 2 1/2 yr old . Daughter is 7 and in 1st grade. I do my workouts at home while the kids are outside playing in the backyard. It does get annoying when I'm flat outta breath and the kids are pounding at the door wanting to tattle on the other. I'm so tired I can barely stand up and I get so annoyed I just want to flip them off!!! Sounds bad I know but I never and will never do it.
Just like to think about it.

SAHM here in Florida to a 9 year old boy & 6 year old girl. I am struggling with being in my early forties I think I am pre-menopausal and the PMS has gotten so much worse! Like many of you, all I want to do is eat. The snacking is killing me. I have gained almost ten pounds in a year which may not sound like a lot but I don't want any of it. I want my clothes to fit good again and to feel confident about myself. So, here I am back at MFP.
I also started taking classes at the community college this semester, always thought I'd get back to work when my youngest was in school full days...but I admit - I LOVE my time during the day so much...so I am taking the time to better myself through school and back the the gym.0 -

I am a SAHM. I have three girls, 14,6,and 5. I homeschool them. And yes, it sounds crazy but I think the house stays more cluttered because everyone is at home all day long. So I find it hard to find time for myself. I am constantly running around all day between cooking, cleaning, teaching, laundry and all the other things that happen in one day. I really want to lose some weight. I just need to find the balance of me in there somewhere.0

I stay at home with my two girls almost 4 and 10 months. I do work part- time abt 10-15 hrs at a hardware store. Its nice to get out of the house and have adult conversation lol Yes I thought my house would be nice and clean all the time yeah right!! Today I was trying to workout with my kids crawling all arnd me but I got it in.0

*raises hand too* I'm a SAHM to 6 yr. old twin boys. I home school currently due to our frequent moves (5 since they were born alone!) and hubby is deployed right now as well...alone time is literally out the window! I find that eating right and keeping snacks to a minimum are my biggest challenges! Not to mention all the food left on plates...so hard to throw away food! We are constantly on the go with classes at at a co-op, swim, tae kwon do, etc. I workout in the a.m. or it just doesn't happen!0

Did I miss the stay at home dad thread?
My daughter is 3. I plan my workouts for when she is in preschool (9am to 12pm) or during nap. We eat healthy as a family, so I am never tempted to eat any of the "kid food". Snacks for her are almonds, cashews, cheese, vitamins, fruit. I try and make it a point to go to the playground at least once a week (good activity for both of us!). Anyways, I do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, yardwork, gardening, car maintenance, bill paying, grocery shopping, etc so I consider myself a stay at home mom, i mean dad :P
That is fantastic!!! Not a lot of sahd, so I think you are doing fantastic. Good for you!!0 -
Can I just say that all you homeshoolers totally rock my socks! I was planning on HSing my almost 1st grader next year but, I decided to try the local private christian school first. If I'm not happy, I plan on pulling him out and doing it myself!0

SAHM to two boys 4 and 2.5, definitely hard not to clean up their plates. Since I have been on MFP the dog sure has gained weight but I am losing! lol and I know I will want to snack to I plan them into my day. You would think with all of the chasing the kids we do, us SAHMs would all be thin!0

SAHM to 2 but both are in school. One is in 3rd and the other is in 3/4 day preschool. I am home with my hubby during the days (he works 2nd shift) and he keeps me out of the fridge. He is my biggest motivator. If I am sitting around doing nothing he will say "lets go outside and do something" as long as the weather is nice! And I have a little fur baby! In MO.0

Sometimes when I buy my snacks the kids get into them and then I am left with nothing. So I have started hinding my snacks. lol. My healthy snacks are so much more expensive than their regular snacks are. I do try to keep apples, oranges and bananas around so they can snack on some healthy snacks. When they want more snacks because they are hungry I tell them to drink a glass of water first and they have to wait so long before they can go get another snack and usually it has to be a healthy snack when they do.0

SAHM, in IN! Four beautiful children! (11,6,4, and 2) The oldest 2 are homeschooled. Do you ever feel like you never sit down. I feel like I've been running crazy all day.0

I have been working out M,T,W,Th,F in the mornings after the three older ones go to school. I go to the YMCA and they have childcare for my youngest. I have been doing couch to 5k on M,W,F and zumba on Tues, and Thurs. Seems like now that I am going to the gym, my house is falling by the wayside. By the time I return and shower, I have to run out to do my errands then P is ready for a nap. I know I *should* clean and stuff while he naps, but I really just need to decompress.0

Sorry don't know how to multi-quote. I am a SAHM to 5 kids, and I home-school 4 out of my 5 kids right now. Ages are 12, 10, 7, 5, and 2 all which will all be having birthdays soon, so soon I'll be a mom to a teenager. I am in Massachusetts. I don't have a tough time with snacking. We do have a time of day that the kids, and I have a snack, so I guess that helps. A lot of times at night after everyone is in bed I do like a snack. As long as I stay in calories all is good. lol I think I answered all. Anyone is welcome to add me!! I always love encouragement and added motivation with others in the same exact boat as myself.0

Oh and I suggest everyone to involve your kids in work-outs. Tonight most of my kids were on the floor doing a Jillians Michaels work-out with me. Kids love it, and they can be taught at a young age too.0
