Showering
This is such a ridiculous problem, yet every fourth dimension I run across it, I'm unsure what to do. Most of the time, I shower at nighttime after the kids receive got gone to bed. Once inwards a bluish moon, for ane argue or another, I withdraw to shower inwards the morning time when the kids are awake. It happened to me final calendar month as well as I frantically texted my girl who also has twin toddlers, "What do I do?!?!" There are a multitude of reasons every bit to why this is such a problem.
#1. I can't shower at naptime.
Last month, nosotros officially separated the boys for naptime. We at ane time receive got a Pack'N'Play standing inwards our room total time. Since our sleeping accommodation is real small-scale inwards the kickoff place, it is perpetually inwards the way. But nosotros bargain amongst it because at ane time it takes less than 2 hours for the toddlers to autumn asleep at naptime. What does this hateful for showering? To shower at naptime, I would withdraw to larn all my shower stuff, my brand up, my pilus stuff, as well as my clothes (though I never tin create upwards one's hear what I desire to vesture until I've tried on every garment inwards my wardrobe). I receive got done this nomadic shower before. It is annoying.
#2. Toddlers can't endure trusted.
Inevitably, person gets hurt. Something goes wrong. They larn locked inwards a battle to the give-up the ghost over a prophylactic ducky. Whatever it is, I don't trust them seat out inwards the playroom/sunroom as well as I don't trust them seat out inwards their sleeping accommodation together. Whenever they are seat out inwards a room together, I locomote on having to run inwards because I hear the intense "I'm dying" scream, only it turns out ane of the toddlers is sitting on the other's favorite blanket. I can't locomote out ane inwards the sunroom as well as ane inwards their sleeping accommodation because the sunroom has also many things to climb on, also many potential problems, as well as it is also far away from the shower for me to hear what's going on. It is a cracking house for the kids to play when I'm inwards the kitchen, closed past times as well as ready to swoop in. I also painting threats inwards their bedroom. I tin totally reckon them climbing upwards their dresser. Yikes.
#3. Preschoolers can't endure trusted.
Our four-year old loves his brothers to pieces as well as his brothers dearest him to pieces. However, his brothers dearest to wrestle as well as he loves to wrestle. When they giddily throw themselves on him (every fourth dimension he sits down), I can't trust him non to start rolling closed to or playing horsey. That definitely requires a Momma closed past times to destination those shenanigans. He also likes to play amongst non-toddler proof toys: Legos, Playmobile play sets, Playdoh, trivial shaver pair of scissors as well as structure paper, the record dispenser... I tin painting him shuttling these unsafe items through the room to his "work station" as well as dropping something the toddlers shouldn't receive got (or getting bumrushed). Not good.
Yesterday I gathered upwards some noisy toys-- V-tech laptops, Fisher Price pianos, singing Play as well as Learn Puppies-- as well as seat them inwards their cribs. I as well as then seat the toddlers inwards the cribs, seat on a film for the preschooler, as well as jumped inwards the shower. About 2 minutes into my shower, I heard a loud BANG followed by... nothing. No cry, no "uh-oh," nothing. Panic sets in. I run out of the shower into the toddlers' room to honor every toy that I had seat inwards their cribs thrown out onto the floor. I'm guessing the loud bang was the V-tech laptop that somehow made it all the mode across the room (one of the toddlers may receive got a pretty practiced arm on him). They await over at Momma as well as throw their arms up, "MAH! MAH! MAH!" I babble, "Momma needs to complete showering; Momma volition endure back; I dearest you...." every bit I throw to a greater extent than toys dorsum inwards their cribs. I locomote out the room to betrayed outrage. I know those cries translated to, "We did everything nosotros could to larn her inwards hither as well as she even thence leaves us? How dare she!" By the fourth dimension my shower was over, my stress levels were through the roof. I actually intend ane of the toddlers-- at ane time 18-months old-- is days away from throwing himself caput kickoff out of the crib. Every dissonance panicked me. (Why the hell didn't I purchase a video monitor??? Would that fifty-fifty assistance piece I'm showering??)
But, all I did was shower. I even thence had to larn ready. I threw on some clothes, allow my pilus dry out amongst some production inwards it, as well as did my make-up inwards the boys' bath during naptime. I ended upwards pulling my pilus dorsum to become out afterward that twenty-four lx minutes menstruation because my pilus was thence apartment as well as wild (only my pilus could endure both apartment and wild, I swear). Who knew that something every bit uncomplicated every bit showering could endure such a problem?
How do you lot grip this situation?
