My 2 and 3 yr old kids aren't potty trained(not a lack of trying, BTW). They don't eat much and I don't force feed them. I sometimes play on the computer while they are awake. Sometimes we don't leave the house the whole day. There are times I go outside in the backyard ALONE to get away from the screaming. There are times I change the channel from kids shows to talk shows for me. There are times I DON'T make dinner, and DON'T clean the house!! Am I a bad mom? This isn't all the time, BTW. Just venting, and asking.

just a suggestion, try putting one or both kids in a daycare just one day a week. Usually a home daycare (liscenced and insured of course) aren't very expensive, ant that one day to yourself can really make a difference.

The fact you even question your behavior tells me you are a good mom. With a two and three year old, you need to do things for yourself occasionally to be the best mom you can for them. If you drain yourself, you will have nothing to give.

I think your pretty normal for a mum with two kids this young and similar in age. As long as your kids are safe when you are in the garden there is nothing wrong with stepping outside. You do not need to watch childrens tv all day you need to find a balance. Try at least to do something with your kids each day wheather it is simple drawing or lego. They need to be stimulated as much as you need a few minutes on the computer. Try and join a mums and tots where the kids can go and scream and play to their hearts content and you can find adult conversation for a couple of hours. It is really hard to break the mould of boredom but it is something you are going to have to do for your own sanity! Your by no way a bad mum just a mum who is bored stiff and stuck in a rut. Hey were all human!
