I need some "Mom" advice...feeling like a failure!!

The only time I can catch a break from him is when the tv is on or he gets to use our iPad, but both these things I try to limit, although they are really the only thing he engages in!

Oh my gosh I swear we have the same son! Mine is 3 1/2 and I admit seems to have tamed down slightly (now that he is the oldest this year and I delegate a lot of helper tasks and leader roles to him). But man does that resonate with the IPad and my husband and I rarely getting a conversation in! He starts school in the fall. I should also add that a couple of months ago we worked it into the budget to get a babysitter one evening a week...that one evening out just gives me a whole new level of patience (he and I get a chance to miss each other, if that makes sense?).
