It is so hard to maintane my kids at times, they are like wild animals at times! Today I was just totally embarrassed to no end! I have a 9 year old girl, 8 year old boy, and 3 year old son. while none of them are old enough to stay home alone and I am a single parent they end up going most of the places I need to go to do errands. I explain the rules, and expectations only to have them whining and crying or screaming at each other or out loud in public. I feel like I am constanly yelling at them and that is not what I want to do. My youngest is a handful at times (which I expect at times) but it is getting to the point that I cannot do things that I need to do, make mistakes, lose important things, forget stuff, and don't get much accomplished. I have no one that is willing to watch kids ( for free) while I run errands as most of my friends feel no need to do good deed for a single mom as they are all married, or their children are older. What can I do just to get things accomplished.
