30's with School Age kids chat:

We are almost half way through the school year; have you done all the things you have wanted to while your child has been in school? I know that I have gotten some of it accomplished, but I am also looking forward to the holidays to have my son home.

I'm sure you ladies are happy and sad you kiddos are back in school. Do you have any plans now that your kids are back in school? Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Laura

My little girl is starting Kindergarten next week!! Seems like it's not possible.

I am homeschool and I have two elementary age children. My daughter has physical needs so it is great to do exercises with her;-)

I work full time and have an 11 year old daughter who loves to sing,bowl,read,make jewelry,and play softball ....she's willing to try ANYTHING!!!!!!
My 10 year old son also loves to bowl,as well as do anything LEGO related!!!!!! He's not a sports fanatic,not very physical,so he does not excel in the sports like his sister does. He is in the gifted class at school so he is very proud of that

I've been married for 14 years(wow) and have been up and down with my weight the whole time

I am a stay at home mom with 3 girls. 6, 8, and 11. They are all on A/B honor roll and keep be busy. I also have a 16 years old step-son that comes around when he has time. He live with is mom about and hour away and his is taking honors classes. As far as teenagers go I don't think they come better than him, but I am partial, lol. I have been married for 11 years, although I have not been a stay at home mom that long. I was for the first 4 years then I went to work and thanks the the econmey I am back to staying home. Don't get me wrong I love being home with my girls, but I sure do miss that pay check. On the weekends we like to fish and go the beach.

Hey guys,
I got 3 kids 13 year old daughter who is very smart she is taking 3 av classes this year, and enjoys writing, and singing music.
11 year old buy who is full boy, he enjoy sports, climbing anything he can, bikes, you name it. he is very outgoing and likes to be the center of everything.
and my youngest a 10 year old boy who is like me and his father a nerd at heart. he loves comps, video games, playing with his brother, and is a lady charmer in training.

The three of them together are so funny but so unlike each other, they are my world and I'm blessed everyday by them.

Hi ladies...

I am a stay-at-home mom as well with 4 kids. Twin girls who turned 10 in September, another girl who will be 7 next month and one boy who is 3. He stays home with me and he is a HANDFUL!!! I am jobhunting though, kinda tired of being home all day. Kinda sucks to not have money to go do things and now that it's getting cooler outside I don't wanna take my son out. But anyway, just getting back on track myself (for the millionth time).... Hopefully this will be the LAST time getting back on track.

Anyway, good luck to you all!!

2 boys, 16 and 5.....VERY blessed! its crazy how different they are!! Going thru something with my 16 yr old, but still if this is the worst then we have it so good!! I was SOOOO bad as a kid so...lol!!! With his its stupid stuff....he's so book smart...but he forgets to turn in his work so we have to check his grades every other day...both in sports keeps me busy!! on top of full time a work again...I was able to stay home the 1st 3yrs of my lil guy...man I LOVED every sec of that!!

My kids are 6 and 4 and I work part-time. It's a great time, as they kids generally play well together and I can get some time to myself :)

Hi I am a mom of 3. 17 14 and almost 12 I work fulltime overnights I have been married 18 yrs and I love my family now if only I could get them to listen 24/7....

oh man, me too, my son won't eat to save his life. although he does love nuts of all kinds, so that's my saving grace for protein...

I have 2 kids 6 and 4 and I figure my husband of 13 years is one of my kids too. Have tons of trouble getting my daughter to eat her meals. Any advice I am up for it! Tonight was the exception to the rule and she did eat, but this is not typical. I try to make healthy foods, not kid foods because I want them to grow up healthy! MOMOF4 it sounds like you have your hands full!

I am a 38 year old married mom with 4 kids. Daughters 17 & 15. Sons 11 & 7. I have the greatest life. I set to be a stay at home mom, that gets to go to most everything my kids do. My oldest is a senior, that shows horses. My other daughter does volleyball, basketball, and softball. My oldest son does basketball and bastball. My youngest has autism, ADHD, PICA, and so much more. He does not do any sports, but keeps us busy with all of his appointments. I am lucky enough to be able to be there for my kids. Almost every day I am doing somthing with one or more of my kids. During the day, I like to go have lunch with my husband. In my spare time I like to scrapbook, not that there is much spare time.

Thank you! I work full-time, am writing a dissertation, and have a 6 year old son in 1st grade. Getting back on the wagon after falling off for a while. Happy New Year!
