Possibly flameful

I have a friend with a 9 month old and a 2.5 year old. She can't shower if no one is there to watch the kids and can't seem to get anything done. Nothing. Dishes, laundry, cleaning all has to be done with help because her kids are in charge. Even though I have none of my own its hard for me to watch and not shake her into reality or talk some sense into her.

I don't have time is the biggest cop out in the entire world. The real answer is I have different priorities

Exactly! Everyone knows you make time for the things that are important to you. I had that bs excuse.

I don't get why people like that don't just say "I don't like to do stuff". It's so ridiculous to think you're that busy. I have a friend who always sighs and says "busy" when you ask how she is. It's annoying.

I hate this. It makes me feel like I'm in some sort of competition.

Lol you dont have a clue dude. Some day she will smugly watch you as you are in the same position. Two young kids like that would be no joke.

I remember having a toddler and a baby at the same time. That's a rough time, it is hard to get shit done around the house.

Whenever I ask my sister to do something she used to always say, "I don't know I'll have to wait and see what comes up." Until I confronted her that what that really means is, "Maybe, unless something better comes along." I wish people would just honestly say they don't want to do something.

I know my friend does not have any easy time of things, honestly I do. She just lets the kids rule the house and its not good. The older one laughs when she tries to punish her and she just gives in so she never actually gets punished. She was after her brother (9mo) one day and kept pushing him over, hitting him and such. Mom basically just told her to stop and got laughed at. I was afraid she was really going to hurt him!

maybe she's just really disorganized. Being disorganized takes a shitton of extra time.

I second this possibility

You should probably give her advice on how to remedy that.

*cant figure out how to quote on my bb*
I'm around her and the kids at least one day a week, I just try to be supportive and help her out.
I put this in the flameful remember!
