We spent the afternoon and evening at 2 birthday parties. I love my 4 and 2 year old niece and nephew but by 6 pm my nerves were shot and I had reached my young child running/screaming threshold. My husband and I stopped at our usual hangout for a couple of drinks on the way home. My adrenaline level has come down and now I’m just getting sleepy. It has been a long day.

I raised everyone else`s kids, I m glad I did not have any of my own. By the age of 43 I was free of all of them, they grew up, married and did their thing.

I have fun watching my niece, my nephew, and my friends’ kids play. But hours of yelling/chasing wears on the nerves. Today was tough because it was 2 back-to-back parties.

Haha, no kids I take it. That made me laugh, sorry might have been at your expense. I do know what you mean and feel your pain though.

I'd be at my worst in that situation. I hope you had some fun when you were there.

I would definitely need a couple of drinks after a day like that.

That does sound like a long day! Kids are great, but when there is a bunch of them running around and screaming it can take a lot out of you.

@NJChicaa Just dealing with one 5 year old is a lot for me, lol! So I can understand

Well at least you had some fun but I agree it can be a bit too much when kids become tiresome. Hope you have a restful night.
