She's whiney, hungry, and just wants me to hold her while I'm trying to cook dinner. Sometimes I resort to watching Elmo on the ipad. Dinner can be frustrating if she decides she doesn't want to eat. But bathtime and bedtime are usually good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247591 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:08:35 +0000 Andrea 1247591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the last hours of the day, only because every day is so long! I always think DH is gonna come home early and rescue me, but he almost never does, of course. Haha. I always have hope, though! I throw longing glances at the door ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247588 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:07:41 +0000 MamaMoose 1247588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247584 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:06:37 +0000 Freckles 1247584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mornings. There's always a tantrum for one reason or another. Also, i'm a lot more tired in the morning to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247564 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:56:54 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1247564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between her last nap and bedtime. She refuses more than 2 naps at 6 months so we're on the 2, 3, 4 schedule. 4 hours is a longgggg time to entertain a 6 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247547 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:50:12 +0000 Ginabean3 1247547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The time between the afternoon nap and dinner (when SO gets home!). Oy.......that's when I run out of entertainment ideas and LO gets craaaazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247545 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:48:18 +0000 Greentea 1247545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it is the midmorning when lo is tired and blowing out a million diapers. Not the best combo for either of us!<br /> Late at night can be draining if she is tired and keeps popping off a side lay. I think for the future mornings could be hard... at least now I am home with her with no set schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247537 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:45:03 +0000 MapleMoose 1247537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedtime, since it varies every day (DD is 7 weeks old) and we are on her schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247526 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:38:42 +0000 betsyboop 1247526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting dinner ready is always tough.

She would go to bed at 6 if I would let her, but then she'd get up at 5 am, so I try my hardest to push til 7. It is a whinefest every night :( </p> <p>I HATE whining, I would prefer crying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-part-of-the-day-with-your-kids-drains-you-the-most#post-1247497 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:25:32 +0000 jodyblair 1247497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: yes!!

The kids don't eat and/or whine, and I can feel the life force just leaving my body.</p> <p>Bath time is sometimes hard too, but dinnertime is always a battle!!</p> <p>What part of the day with your kids drains you the most? </p>
