But nice attempt! Is difficult. My husband and I both study and in the weekends is when we catch up with him but sometimes work builds up and we sometimes work in the weekends. What happens then? We let him watch TV. I feel guilty too when he has been watching TV all morning... Then I turn it off and then do other things with him. Lesson learned! But nice attempt! Is difficult.

I appreciate knowing that one day they will actually play "together" rather than inspite of each other. :) And all I can say, is wow, you had three in diapers! You go mom!

Since my kids are older, I can also tell you that you feel like their major entertainment right now, but it won't be much longer until they're playing together and leaving you out of it. Hang in there. For me (my kids are 3, 3 and 5), I don't use the TV as entertainment at all. I only use it as a babysitter! It's the babysitter at 5:30 when I need to get dinner on the table and just need 20 minutes of peace and quiet. And it works great.
