10 Ways Having Young Kids Is Like Being Held Hostage

October 15 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

10 ways having young kids is like being held hostage - OMG #3, yes!!!

Hey everyone, how’s your week going? Mine has been crazy busy!

Mostly, I’ve been working like a madwoman on updating all 10 of MPMK’s Infamous Toy Gift Guides for Christmas. Yes, that’s right, Christmas – already!

(Psst – I’m updating them as I go this year. That means some of the guides like,”Best Toys for Building S.T.E.M. Skills in All Ages“, “Best Toys for Babies“, and “Best Building & Construction Toys” already have some new additions… Go check ’em out if you’re dying to see what’s fresh this year!)

So – of course – the kids got sick. It always happens at the worst possible time, doesn’t it?

The combination of sick kids and a hectic work schedule left me in need of some serious comic relief, so I vented some of my stress via a tongue-in-cheek piece I wrote for eHow’s Mom’s Channel entitled, “10 Ways Having Young Kids is Like Being Held Hostage“.

Go check it out. Then throw me a bone in the comments and tell me you can relate!

Happy weekend.
