armymom`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Sahm`s or working moms (when you have a day off) do you feel like you have to get out of the house at least once every day or are you content staying home all day once in a while? I find myself making excuses to leave and find something to do so I fill the gap in our day.
(Other poll by armymom, 980 days ago)
No.. I'm perfectly fine being home all day every now and then
Yes, I'm like you.. I have to get out everyday or I'll go crazy.

there are some days where i am blessed not to leave the house lol! i have 2 older daughters who were in kindergarten and 1st grade so i have so many drop offs and pickups to do i dreaded having to get in the car! sometimes its nice not to leave the house but im sure here in a couple weeks i will be thinking stuff up to go and do just to get out!

I`m home all day almost every day. I only get out maybe once or twice a week including weekends. This of course doesn`t count going for walks and the local park (within walking distance), which I do 2-3 times a week, but for the most part I`m home.

I love being home :) We have fun here :) I go out ocassionally but never do just cause I feel I need to to have fun (we have lots of sports at night so that is our runng around time) my kids always played well independently and we do arts at crafts, play dough, games etc too or just hung out. They can out side too which they do all the time. My sister always had the day planned or activities and went places and it backfired, when they got older and days she didnt feel like getting out or doing things her kids were horrible because they didnt know how to just hang out and stay home. They`d drive her nuts. When they visit my housesame thing ~ they had to have an activity planned.

I always have something planned for the day. I hate staying at home all day and Adi loves to get out too.

I can appreciate a good lazy day every once in a while but to stay in a majority of the time I would not be able to do. Like today I had to get out just for even a couple mins so we walked to the toys in our apartments & sat on the swing for a little bit & Khloe just sat on my lap looking around and relaxing. It was nice, only out of the house for maybe 20 mins but just what we needed :)

I`m perfectly fine being home all day and only getting out once in a while.

I don`t have to get out every day but I would say we usually go out even if its just to run an errand probably 6 days a week. I learned when my daughter was very young that if I don`t then I go nuts.

I go nuts inside the house all day. I make an excuse to leave all the time.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
