Fun
Man, caring for a 5 month old and trying to play with a 4 year old at the same time is hard. The baby sleeps so well and he is pretty much always happy. The girl is a little angel too and loves to play. She was really hard to get to bed though. I used the trick her mommy taught me: “I am going to have to call your dad.” It was pretty fun but I was exhausted after both of them being awake for an hour and a half. She ended up staying up to like 10 until I could get her to go to sleep. I felt so bad though because of the poor face she made when I told her it was bed time.
Note to self: Only have one child
One thing I am sick of… I am always there for my friends. If one of them is upset I will talk to them and be there for them no matter what is going on. I am sick of when I need them it’s like “I have to go out to eat.” Or talking to their boyfriend/friend and everything when I am trying to talk. I don’t get real upset very often so it’s not like I’m asking much.

It’ll be interesting once Ross and I decide to have another child (God willing).
DOn’t worry though, it’ll get easier the more time you spend with the children.
I’ve had a few friends like that in my past. I say “past” because I eventually got sick of their shit and ended the friendships. I’m always there for my friends and when I’m in need of one, they were no where to be found.

Like Ashley, I’ve had friends like that.. it eventually got so old that I just dropped them. ALL relationships are give/take and some ‘friends’ just don’t realize that.
Hopefully the sleeping part will come easier for her as the time goes by. Or you’ll find a method that gets her to sleep more efficiently! lol

I ditched a lot of my highschool friends for exactly the reason you’re talking about. I was always there for them, but suddenly when the tables were turned they were conveniently unavailable. Blech.
We made that little note to self to ourselves as well, and look what happened.

Kids are definately a handful…. esp. more than one. When I babysit my friends daughter, it’s like I can’t do as much as when I just have AJ. I need to keep an eye on them at all times because who knows what he may throw at her or whatever. lol. Glad it was fun for you, although exhausting. It’s good experience for you tho
I think everyone has friends like that or are that type of friend. It’s frustrating and so rude. Angel’s sister can be like that sometimes with him…. like he has to drop everything and do something for her…. but when he needs her, it’s like “not right now” or “no”. It’s selfish really. Of course, that’s his sister…. but friends like that aren’t friends at all.
