My littlest one made a play date and my other darling came home from a fun day at camp.My guilt and lack of imagination about being a mother comes to center stage. And I am just heartbroken that I have 12 hours in the day and don't know what to do with these kids, I feel terrible. I read to them, play videos like shrek and willie wonka, watch spongebob squarepants, take them to swimming, take them for lessons.I feel really guilty with my mentally retarded daughter who just wants to eat all the time. She is so heavy and I fear she will be in a wheelchair by the time she gets older. She actually steals the ranch dressing out of the frig and says creme creme, and eats it. I woke up one saturday morning to that.what else can i do? I am thinking of getting a membership to the zoo, and maybe the please touch museum so we can go walking and playing in the city. being a mother is not an easy job.

My son was eating all the time to the point of vomiting of fullness....I had to change my whole eating and buying habits in order to help him....I have very little snacks in the house, but plenty of water and juice bottles, cheese sticks with wheat crackers, seedless grapes, fruits with a lite whip cream and for dinner at least 2-3 times a week salads, with grilled chicken, grilled steaks, etc. His snacks is fat free and I measure his amount...my son has lost weight, he looks taller now and I can see the difference...he would not drink water, soooo, i invented a reward system of some favorite tv show for a little bottle of water and I called it the water project, from one bottle daily now he is going to 2 -3...you can do it too! go for it!!!
