Hello, Im Jenny and i live in louisiana. I am on baby # 3, i have 2 boys already (4 and 1). I am 23 years old and it seems so hard to find people to talk to that i can relate with. The other women around here just arent involved with their kids so its impossible to do playdates. i just need some advice on new ways to entertain my kids and generally people like me to talk to. I stay at home. Thank you for reading.

Welcome. I completely understand the entertaining kids my 4 year old id a handful and seem to entertain himself well but it is half the time TV or movies. I try to control what my son watches and make sure it is educational or age appropriate.

Welcome!
I have a 5 year old son and babysit my 2 year old niece everyday. I can relate to your question of how to entertain active kids.
Have you tried your local library? My library has a weekly storytime.
Call your local county agency and see if there are any options. My county runs a free weekly playgroup and that was the best thing for me when my son was 2 years old and driving me crazy!

Wow, i really admire you for having so many children,. they are great i bet me and my husband want to have 6 total everyone says we are crazy but i dont see living without a big family really livin it up you know. he just started taxidermy school and i have the training already, we will be working from home also together with a taxidermy studio. He really is pushing the idea of homeschool for the kids when they are older because of the way everything is here in louisiana, how do you manage and what programs do you use?
