Sticky Post: Mommastuff Questions Week 2

46 Comments Published May 5th, 2008 in Mom's Thoughts, Mommastuff Questions, Parenting.

I’m reviving this old thing that I’ve started a few months back. The aim of these questions is to share opinions and experiences among moms in the blogosphere.

I’m going to post one question each week and I’m inviting moms to answer and share their thoughts about it. The first question is about Mom’s greatest fear and you can read the participants’ answers here.

Now for this week, the question is : Do you have routines for your kids? Care to share? Does it really help?

Look forward to seeing your answers. Please leave your links in the comment section as soon as you’re done. A link back to this site and invitation for other moms to join is very much appreciated.

Here are my thoughts on this.

Routines are mainstays of our childcare. Our usual routine during weekdays is

Wake up at 7am. Breastfeed him for a while with a little cuddling and tickling.
Eat breakfast at around 7:30
He plays with the nanny while I prepare to go to work.
I leave at 8:30.
The little boy takes a bath at around 10am.
Lolo and lola will pick him up after and they will take him to MOA.
The go back home at lunch time and the little boy takes a nap at around 1 or 2pm.
He wakes up around 4:30 or 5pm. Have some snacks and play.

I get home at around 8pm. We’ll have dinner, play some games.
I give him in vitamins, brush his teeth and a quick bath at around 9:30.
Change his clothes and get him ready to bed by reading books and cuddling.
He sleeps at around 10:30 or 11pm.

We have almost the same routines during the weekend. It’s just that he spends more time with us than the grannies and nanny.

Routines are very helpful because it brings consistency to a child’s life. He knows what to expect during the day and it helps us schedule our tasks too.

Join the fun!

Welcome!

If you are currently reading this then you have found our very special place in the web. I say OUR, for this site is a joint collaboration of two working mommies who found each other online and became bosom buddies. They share the same faith, same love for their families, same nurturing instinct for their kids and same business interests. Amore has one daughter aged 3 while Nice has a son aged 1. This will be a site wherein they will share their thoughts as moms. They will share their everyday experiences in attaining balance between work and family. Some business ideas to help augment the monthly income will also be discussed. Most importantly this site will also feature their experiences in parenting. We fervently hope that your first visit won?t be the last and in our own little way we may be able to share something that can be useful to you somehow. Welcome to Momma Stuff! :)
