Sometimes I don't have too much time to share with my sons and I frustrated, because I need to make any activity with each one of them, but sometimes I'm tired and I don't know what to do but I try my best with them, I think I need to talk with somebody about my busy day, but I can not because I'm shy.
Now I'm trying to play 10 min. with them, read 20 min. with my older son, and teach them the prays of the church, because he is preparing for first communion in the catholic church, and I want to finish my GED.

I admire you for trying to give each of your boys a little bit of your time. You are an amazing mom... just remember to also take a little bit of time for yourself. And find someone to talk to, if you need it.
I think about that you wrote and make me think is part of the price we have to pay because we came from other country . I say that because a lot of us work two jobs and we don't have a lot of time to spent with kids, anyway you're a good mom and the best thing you can do is talk about your problems.
Hi Veronica -- Your thoughts about yoru busy day really touched me. It IS hard to slow down and take the time to be with your children. You are right, they do need you, and maybe sometimes it's OK just to be with them -- not worry about doing something, just be with them. It sounds like you love them so much... and taking time for yourself is important too. And Sue is right, talking to someone else will help. You are not alone!
Veronica,
When you're tired, don't forget that you can lie with your children on the couch or the floor and just relax with them. It's a time when you can talk, tickle, and tell each other stories, or about your day. We don't always have to be "doing" for our children to know we love them.
I have the same trouble, becouse I work and I'm so tired too, but I try to take time for my kids and this time was more quality that quantity.And like you I do my best with them.

Hi, Vero I really understand how hard it is sometimes to find time for yourself having a family responsibility but,I think you are doing a great effort attending school to improve your life and helping your loved ones. So, keep up the hard work and I hope see you soon in the GED classes.
I'm in the same situation, have kids especially boys is hard. But
you need take time for share whit they, and take enough time for your self,that is hard but if you want have a good day you need take a breath, that is something simple, but neccesary.
