I'm here! I'll write a longer response later, as I'm about to walk into (yet another) coaching interview. :-)

I'm here sometimes, I tend to not be logged in and when I want to comment find it a bit of a pain --- but I read a lot. The Facebook group won't let me in so I will hang here. Things have been pretty crazy with life, kids and work, but we are hanging in there. Feb 2013 kid just taught himself to ride a bike today because his 8 year old brother and his best friend are planning on traveling around the world and said if he wants to come with them he will need to be able to ride a bike because that is key in China. So Feb 2013 took it upon himself to learn that ASAP. My kids amuse me greatly -- which is good because everything else in my life is super stressful.

I didn't even know there is a Facebook group, let us in That is so cute he taught himself to ride a bike. My Feb 13 guy is still has training wheels. I feel like my biggest parenting challenges are witg my 13 year old. Parenting a teenager is weird, and hard. She is a good egg, but it's still hard to navigate.

Im around! Im not in this fb group so this is my place. I just keep forgetting to check here since it's been so dead around here. I'll post an actual update once I get some sleep, working nights is equal parts great and terrible.

I'm also around! THis board quieted down so much that I stopped checking in regularly. Plus from the beginning of March until yesterday I was working 13-hr days (not counting a few hours in the afternoon/early evening with the kids) almost every day. So I didn't really have the time. If things pick back up here I'm glad to join in the conversation Feb 13 kid is testing boundaries right and left, making me want to pull out my hair, mostly around bed time. Otherwise she's a funny, charming, kind-hearted child who I love to bits. At bedtime I would kind of like to send her off to boarding school, though...

I am like a month and a half late replying to this, but I’m here. Kinda. I lurk on a couple other boards but don’t check in here much anymore since things are so quiet. I also felt like I didn’t have much to contribute besides complaints and frustrations. I continue to struggle with parenting, I have two strong-willed and challenging kiddos, and I often think that me and my personality aren’t cut out for this. Hopefully someday it will get a little easier in some ways and I’ll develop more wisdom and patience.
DD is more than ready for kindergarten academically and socially. She will have issues with separation anxiety and I have no idea if it will even be possible to get her on the bus, but once she gets into class she’s going to love it. She has thrived in preschool this year and it’s been so good for her. DS is in PT and OT, still a little behind developmentally, and behaviorally he continues to be difficult a lot of the time. But he can also be very pleasant when he wants to be, and it seems paradoxical given his behavior issues but there is something innocent about him that warms my heart. He finds joy in the simple pleasures of life and makes me smile... when he’s not throwing monstrous tantrums or being defiant 😉
After wavering for 3 1/2 years, DH and I have decided we’re 100% done having kids. He has a vasectomy scheduled for Friday morning. We both know we have enough to handle with the two kids we already have. I still wish things had turned out differently since I always thought I wanted three, but I’ve accepted the reality that that would be a very poor decision for our family for a lot of reasons and I’m happy with our little family the way it is.

I just found you guys! I stopped checking these boards because they were so slow, but I was cleaning out my bookmarks and decided to check before I deleted it - and I am glad I did! It is crazy how time flies! I really enjoyed reading everyone's updates. I was not so active on the other boards, but thought I would chime in just to see if we can get some more activity here: My Feb '16 baby is doing great! He is super active and so excited to be going to Kindergarten in the fall. I cannot believe preschool graduation is in a few weeks - what happened to my baby? I also have a fourth grader. He has struggled in school but I feel like he has finally gotten a handle on it and is starting to take his academics a bit more seriously, and his grades this year are reflective of that! My 2-year old is cracking us all up daily. The boys love to dote on her and as much as she looks up to her big brothers, she will definitely sass them if they get too aggressive with her. I love watching them all interact, and seeing them navigate their own relationships. I work two days a week, and am home three days. My home days are ever-changing as the kids are all gaining new skills and their personalities are always evolving. I hope we can check-in more often - I miss you guys!
