Frustrations and Boredom is getting to me

It's been almost a year that I'm staying at home as a full time mom, and at the start it felt really good to be just relaxing at home and no work, no deadlines to think about. However, now that I have a new baby in the house, it's been getting pretty hectic. I'm busy, but since it's so routinary, it gets really boring. With the bigger kid getting harder to handle with her bouts of tantrums and trying to test my patience all the time, I also fail in anger management, too. I can't believe that I've already been spanking my kid, when i get too frustrated about getting her to follow my instructions. It's something I thought I could never do to her, but I'm getting so used to it, now. And, I don't like it.

Have a kids is a blessing for woman.You should enjoy and feel happy with that.There are many womans out there who still can't pregnant or having a baby.Frustration and boredom is natural thing that happen with human.You can try to relax and doing your hobby when your baby still sleeping.You can bring your kids to go for holiday to beautiful places or just go for shopping.Believe me,when we're looking our kids healthy and smile,all of our anger will disappeared.

Thanks, those tips you mentioned really helps. It breaks the ice. However, I have the whole week to survive before we get to go out on the weekends. I still have my tantrums every so often, especially when Im sleepy and the kids bother me.

hi,
It happens , when we take a long long break ,we tend to get the boredom.At first everything seems good and we enjoy the break as we will be tired of all the things by then, but later we don't enjoy it anymore. Now i think you have to look after your kids, if they can look after them then you can go for a job at least a part time one.

They are my priority this time, so I'd just really have to sacrifice my pleasures and desires. In a few years from now they'll be old enough to take care of themselves.

I remember going through similar things. Sometimes I just needed a break, other times I really did need to just go find a job, even if it was a couple hours a day. I used to get crazy bored and I would put on music and just dance through the house with the kids or clean to music. No matter who came to my house, there was always music. Now my kids will be singing around their friends and the friends want to know why or how they know that music. A lot of times, my kids link the music to a favorite activity that we done while I was home with them. It just really sounds though, like you need a break. Is there someone close, like a family member that can keep the kids for a day while you just do the things that you like to do?

Wow, you seem to be very good at motherhood. I just have a lot more to learn on this field. Sometimes, I would think that I'm just not ready to be a full time mother. I didn't get a nanny anymore, because they're just a pain in the neck. I wanted to be able to handle all the kids' stuff, since Im just at home. I'm planning to get an online job, that way, I could still stay here with the kids and earn extra, but i would need to get someone to help look after them while Im busy. Having a job, even a part time online job, is really a big plan to make, for me.
