I still do get craft stuff out and let him play as he enjoys it but most of it is not Pinterest worthy... the process maybe, definitely not the product. The product is not what it's all about at this stage anyway.

I've learned to relax a little with the kids, but still - just like you I have to admit it stops me from doing much with them. We do so much other fun stuff though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281806447154562541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477315550375757782.post-60520350708386168472012-10-10T13:45:40.991-04:002012-10-10T13:45:40.991-04:00I wish I were a craftier mom, but frankly...

I feel mildly guilty about that, but I went to a professional art school for a couple of years, and I've got major ocd issues. My kids are too young to really focus on doing a project "right," and all they're capable of right now is having fun and making a mess.
