My daycare is taking over my house!

[kidlove]

Our bedroom is now officially OFF LIMITS due to the fact that my husband already complains of the daycare "invasion" and he is home for the winter due to a seasonal job, so, to make things less dif between he and I I opt out of having anyone in our room for the winter monthes. I also use my kids rooms for nap time, which I didn't do the first handful of years but have become a little more "selfish" as well, with my peace during nap and really enjoy being able to do housework and such with out worrying about waking the beasts. ha ha ! I know exactly what you mean when you say your home is taken over, mine too! I do not have the luxury of even a play room, it all blends into our families personal space and at times it feels a little over run. The one thing I have learned over the years is, kids don't need an abundance of toys to have a good day. So, I will allow them to pick from the MANY daycare toys I store in the basement each day when they come and other than that, I will ussauly have a few things brought up from down there, alternanting to always keep the kids entertained with new things....and I ALWAYS clear it all away and send it to it's hiding place in the basement EVERY friday afternoon during nap. By the end of each week, my home is my home and no one would guess it was a daycare filled with brightly colored toys and noisy kiddos all week long, and I return to some form of sanity for a few days before the rat race begins Monday am. i fell your pain my dear, we are in the very same boat!!!!!!!

I too is having a hard time with our space being our i feel like the daycare is taking over our space. Im looking to revist the space make all the kids sleep on the playroom. Take the playpens out of our rooms. I noticed this when my 6 yr old kept bugging me when are they leaving? I was like oh boy he needs to have his space. For me i think in the new year im going put the daycare downstairs and then we will have our space.
