People always say they are amazed by how I’m constantly on the go, out of the house, doing fun stuff with my kids. I get that from my mother. In the entire time I’ve known her, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her just sit down on a couch and watch TV. Not that she hasn’t tried. She just passes out from boredom. When my mom had plans with my kids, she always has ten options for things to do. She knows all the nearby playspaces, the local farms with bouncy castles, what’s currently playing in the theaters, when Disney on Ice is at the Colliseum, where the outdoor concerts are being held, how to get tickets to Frozen, and of course, when the carnival is coming to town. Nothing makes her happier than showing her grandkids a good time. And I kinda get the feeling that she’s excited she has an excuse to go to this stuff again. I feel the same ❤️ #grammy

kazhelen And at the same time , people need to remember to ‘do them’, be themselves and not feel guilty for living a different life. Based on the lives they follow on Instagram . Not all children , mothers and families have access to activities / outings for financial, emotional , physical etc etc , limitations and that is OK too. It’s okay to be still, be bored and enjoy slowing down. For some it’s necessary, for others it’s forced upon them. And if able and enjoyable then also it’s okay to be busy too. I know people can feel jealous or inferior sometimes for being different so just thought I’d put it out there x

nix76 Your mom sounds awesome! I also try to get my kids out often (and there are 4 under 5 including a 4 mo old so it’s a huge challenge!) Because they behave so much better and there is nothing more satisfying then watching your kiddos see or doing something new and their whole face lights up. And yes it’s exhausting for the parents but so worth it in the end. It’s all about the memories for sure.

kdogchef72 @kazhelen and not feel like a bad parent for not being on the go 24/7. When both parents work and kids are in school it’s nice to decompress at home with movie night or day!!! I have a mom friend like this and she exhausts and amazes all of us with her on the go attitude. A couple of days at home can be awesome too!?

kab6707 My mom was the mom who during my elementary days, was the class party helper and holiday party thrower at home. But otherwise my brother and I were with other people all the time because she worked a lot. So as a mom, I try hard to balance active mom and work mom. It's not always easy.

charissa309 I'm an introvert and always being on the go makes me tired and stressed lol. My daughter is the same. Her and I love to snuggle on the couch and each read our own book. We're both only children tho, so...it's a little easier ?

lolagirl212 Same same! Always on the go and have a plan. The times we don’t, they are “bored” and want electronics. I feel like the more outside fun they have the less they will want iPad or tv. At least that’s what I hope ?
