@1cor1013 Congrats! Yeah living on less and saving whatever you can is a good plan. Do you still have your baby stuff from the other kids? I found adding one more kid after 2 didn’t affect our budget too badly (I stayed at home so no daycare costs). I thought going from 2 to 3 was the easiest...

@new_2_this_b_kind I’ve got 4 kids - 14, 9, 12, & 5. Younger 2 are homeschooled. Our days look like this: Monday- gym @ 5-6 am, home (might lay down for a few minutes), get older boys off to school in the bus, morning routine* (will post below). Homeschool co-op from 10-2:30. On American...

@katrina2017 I have 4. I am probably the least disorganized person on the face of the planet. We still manage to get to places on time because it’s rude to not. If OP can’t follow the guidelines and schedules set by the school than perhaps they should homeschool. That isn’t me being petty...

@bbfantastic I had a pack n play with the bassinet on it for sleep. A carrier (an ergo and a moby wrap), a bouncy seat, and an exersaucer, eventually a high chair... I had a few of those cotton muslin blankets and a swaddler. Baby monitor. Double stroller (or single depending on ages of other...

@airotciv7 3 of the 4 kids have birthdays in April. For a while we just combined it with Easter. Once they got older they wanted something bigger. We offered 3 small parties or one big party. So for several years we did big parties - like laser tag or inflatables. Now that my oldest is 14...

@ajewelinhiscrown Create a picture schedule that is within the site of the 5 year old wit the morning routine. Set your alarm and get her up at the same time each day. Go through the steps with her. Get as many things ready in the evening as possible - set out clothes, bath, have breakfast...

@puddingtader We make it work. Most of the estimates for raising children are laughably high. I bought nearly all of my children’s clothes used and had hand me downs. Also we live in a low cost of living area. I stay home so there’s no issues around child care. My argument is that they...

@elinternational We never did preschool since I homeschool :) Many of the reasons you listed are reasons we chose to. However we did get involved with a local preschool co-op which was all parent run. Still some of my favorite memories are from that preschool.

@morgannicole555 Everyone has a different experience… but 3 was the easiest for us. 2 was the hardest. I had PPD with baby #2 so that was rough. Number 3 was like… she just had always been there. It was just right. I wouldn’t say it’s easier than 2 kids. I would just say it made sense for us.

@cbaker06021984 To start with, if he says it doesn’t bother him then listen. His comments may just be the truth as well. You do have a lot of baskets of laundry to fold. I realized I was doing this with my husband just yesterday. We were cleaning up for company to come over and be just...

@megan120711 I wanted to write this same post today. My mom is needing extra help with somethings, my kids are homeschooled, I work a couple days a week, and I’m so so tired. I was walking down the steps and there’s just garbage there :(. I found flylady a little overwhelming. I like Dana...

@disguisedlamb That’s exactly what I would have done (and have done) when sick. When I had horrible morning sickness I basically laid on the couch for 3 months. My children played way too many video games, watched too many movies…. They’re fine (that I’m aware of lol). In that case she...
