do you find your days are mostly boring or are you so busy looking after kids and house you don't have time to be bored?

Well I have one LO, 4 months old. I can honestly say some days get boring. Before it got so extremely hot, we were walking once sometimes twice a day and that helped a ton. I do housework everyday and my LO is awake a lot more than when he was first born so boredom isn't as much of an issue.

I don't get bored. I spend all my time cleaning and potty training and feeding and fighting with them to take naps and more feeding and bedtime and laundry and chores... ad infinitum. What little free time I have, I spend catching up with hubby and doing my crafts.
There are days I get tired of doing kid-related stuff, but that's different than being bored-- and it would be the same story with any job, right?

Oh I get bored but thats because I spend my days tending to everyone and there is no room for me doing anything that I find particularly fun.
Running errands, playing at the park, household and kids and hubby duties arent always exciting for me LOL.

I don't get bored. I feel like I am always busy....or I can always find something to do. In the summer we go swimming often so that helps!
Sometimes I get tired of playing. Kayley is an only child so I try to play with her as much as I can stand it. I just have no imagination as far as toys. I'm more of a board game player.

I do get bored sometimes. Especially in the winter. But Avery is not talking yet and is too young to do crafts and stuff. I think when she is a bit older I will not get too bored.

I have 2 boys, ages 1 and 2. Most days them and the housework and hubby keep me busy, so its not that I get bored. It's that I get annoyed doing the same things every day all day. It becomes mundan. We only have 1 car so hubby has to use it for work so we are stuck at home all day. I try to make it fun but it does get boring.

I get bored. I keep busy during the day, but from around 3pm I am just done with the day and i am fed up!
I'm more lonely than bored tho. i dont have anyone i can just call for a chat or meet with for a coffee. I think a few friends would really help!

I am bored of the same draining thing EVERY.SINGLE.DAY of the week. We have at least 5 or 6 minimum doctor appointments every single week. I am so bored; tired and exhausted of that! I am always on the go and soo busy. Today I left the house at 8:30 for soccer practice and we didnt get home after doing everything from a birthday party, practice and a bunch of other crap until after 9 pm. The kids were soooooo tired and cranky by the time we got home. They are used to a 7 pm bedtime.

 Leah will ask me to play, and I'm like, "OK, what do you want me to do?"  I feel like I lost my imagination as I grew up! Give me a coloring book, puzzle, or board game and I'm good.
But yeah, with having one child, sure, there are times I am bored since I only have her to look after. That's usually when I suggest an outing somewhere or maybe sit down and scrapbook while she plays/draws.

When Clarissa was little and an only child, I remember getting bored sometimes. She was so clingy and wanted me to play with her constantly. She wasn't the type of kid who played by herself, ever-- (she has changed since she's gotten older, thank goodness). But yeah I understand what y'all are saying. It does get better with two kids.

I feel like I never stop moving. I'm never bored. I spend parts of my day doing tot school with Em, change tons of diapers and feel like I'm constantly feeding one of them.

Since my boys are older now, I do find myself bored on some days. I am ready for them to go back to ps so I can have time for some crafts and 'me' time.

It's a complicated issue for me...
I get bored of the same things everyday. But I'm never without something to do, there is always SOMETHING I can be doing. I think also because I haven't been able to make many friends (or have lost them due to circumstances) that it's made me lonely as well, which makes the boredom of everyday tasks much worse.
