Oh and I forgot to say that after school kids are usually going to drive you batty saying "I am bored" and wanting you to play or do things with them.

Mine wanted me to play board games with them all the time and that is not really easy when you have 3 little kids still around. It is hard to give anyone proper attention in that scenario and I was torn feeling like a failure on both ends.

The older ones seem to have a hard time entertaining themselves unless they have video games or TV I guess
