That parent draining feeling,readers questions answered

Good day\night to you. So having 5 kids I get asked and written by alot about how tired they are and how we managed with 5 kids. So what I am about to write,most of you with families will relate. Where the fuck do the days go. As parents we awake for work,wake up the kids,make breakfast and lunches.Sometimes dress our kids let alone dressing ourselves. Barely having enough time to get ready ourselves and then to come home. Then drive around for few hours soccer,hockey and the grocery store and then cook dinner. People write me weekly about quick fixes because they are so drained. So what I will say is...there is no end to this as a parent for years to come Moo Ha Ha Ha. You will be known as limo driver,waiter/waitress,slave and known as the bank for many years.Yes even when they are gone. Oh and lets not forget about the laundry room attendent. Yes it is draining we all know that. But it does not stop and you should not wish for it to stop to soon. These are our babies and we love them dearly. But damn kids wish they could read faces like adults. They would know that mom's callused up hands and bags under her eyes,the messy hair and dragging her ass. Are signs,lol..But they are kids and dont. Having kids our lives are always under scrutiny by the kids "ah ah you know or by someone else". Then we will or have outside opionions from others on how to run your household is always a sure fire way for a slap. But seems everyone has a way to make raising kids easier. I like to say fuck you,but I will listen unless they cross a line... See no child is the same or adult. Everyone has a different way. Not saying some kids dont act like adults or vise versa. But dealing with my kids my way,sure not likely gonna work for you. Of course somethings,but not all. Now I am always up for suggestions from pretty much everyone. But I have the schedule of my life. So unless I give that all out,exactly right..Sometimes I crash reading my days to come that week,lol. . So asking parents how to you manage the hectic and draining days is always a better start. Now the broken nails and grease stained hands,the frayed hair and dead ends,the sore backs and feet. Comes with the territory of parent hood. Now we do have choices because we are the parents and in control of how much time we want to be out and about. Yes I know some parents are just ,yes like that. Give the kids choices,like it is this or that. Explain money to them so they understand the more they do,the more comes out of the house money for others things. Now some of you reading that..You might say that is harsh,but just because you have kids. Does not mean you need to be broke to put a smile on your kids face always. Be realistic money is money and hard to come by for free. So for every waking penny to go on gas,rent or mortgage,then sports and dance. It might seem petty to some. But morally draining finacially and emotionally to others. We all know that if we do not rest our bodies we become really run down and drained. Pulling our asses and dragging ourselves about. That is the life of the parent,the struggle is real. Does not matter how how many activities for some of you that put your kids in everything. They are still your kids and you should be doing something with them,not always without them. Myself I found it very draining with having 5 kids,hell some days I did not even know what the fuck was going on. I was like a robot just doing things like they were planted in my brain and I could do them half asleep. And to mention the kids mom,holy christ shit cakes she was like something out of a bloody walking dead scene. Yes even with the rawwr,rawwr and grrr shit going on. No sex,we were to scared to have another,we had no time now. It was like I had rocket sperm and could shoot through 5 feet of concrete and of course drywall. Seemed just looking at each other,it was like boom...there goes your free time fuckers, ha ha just kidding but not... At much times you could never understand us as we be mumbling half asleep like zombies. But eventually we found out what was manageable for us. Not like it was bloody easy or anything and it does not happen for all so soon. Some parents dont ever figure it out for many years. The one thing that stopped us from being so busy.. Is we got parent balls and made a point if we could not afford it or have the time or wanted to spend money on something more worth while for the family,WE DID. We never felt bad as we were being controlled by our kids, is so not right.LOL. Your setting them up for being pampered disasters as they get older. We should not expect things as adults or as children. Now this draining feeling,remember before we had kids. Yes that is correct you slept in and had layed around years prior for half a saturday in your undies or house coat. Or did no house work or laundry all day. Well come on really, fulltime job and then fulltime mom\dad. What did you expect ? a fucking miracle of 7 extra hours in a day ha ha yah right they are fake. So and as we get older yes the way we eat and our vitamins are very important and can play a key role in keeping us drained. Rest is must needed,especially as parents..So really the draining feeling is there whether we have kids or not. If we are on the go from morning til night,of course we are gonna be drained. I can offer help to those in any over personal ways. As our lives are all different. But will say ask yourself, do I spend too much time at games then playing with my kid? Does all these costs effect my wallet? Are you just pampering cause you have no ballls to say no ? Do you have quality time without anyone else but family? These are things I would say to ask yourself,nothing else can make your time,but you. So those of you that have written me, I hope this hepls some. But becoming a parent is the greatest moment I am ever had. So should be yours..So I love spending time with my kids at sports and personally. We do 50\50. That is us,find your 50/50..should solve your questions..

Be groovy

Be stellar

and 

Be YOU.
