@zondaar39 If they do their own laundry (and before too long they should imo) then it is up to them to keep separate and up to them to keep organized and clean.

Oh! Also! We shop every two weeks. That's it. We dont do extra shopping trips because they are never just limited to the item or two we need. The more times we go to the store, the more we spend. We use a gallon of milk a day, so I have three fridges-one prep fridge in the kitchen, a drink...

@clh72481 Garden. Eat out of it, freeze it, can it, whatever. Aldi is good but I save more going to Costco, when I stick to a list and am organized anyway. It isn't an option for everyone, but if your family eats meat and has the gear for it, we hunt. Two or three deer fill our freezer for...

@goblue24 I am convinced everyone in my house except me would die if there was a fire at night. Seriously, I can't imagine sleeping through the noise I know they are making!

@de_maria I like to think it will come back when kids get a bit older. Maybe they will even enjoy cooking too. A girl can dream!

@chessmaster777 I had five healthy singletons followed by five miscarriages, at 7, 9, 18, 9 and 6 weeks respectively. I wish I had pushed more to have my hormone levels checked after the first miscarriage. When I lost my daughter at 18 weeks, it was due to an unknown reason and we still don't...

@lil_sisa My twins are boy/girl but my oldest kids are three girls who are all born in three years. Not quite the same, but yeah, sister relationships get messy! I can only hope that somewhere under that they are also bonding.

@pastoruc The psychological warfare starts early with girls.

@meraki We are expecting kids 6&7 in March. Financially, I stay home and do lots of saving money-we homeschool our kids and live on a farm so we grow lots of food, have chickens, etc but also our utilities are minimal. I also mend lots of play clothes, cook almost everything from scratch, buy...

@luke I have a shirt that literally says on it “I’m not hoarding, I just have five kids.” It’s really sad that we can’t recognize that different households have different needs.

@ren207 I really wish I had a good friend to do this with! That is so cool.
