@_%D7%A1%D7%AA I’m 43 with an 11mo and absolutely expected to be the oldest in here! Hats off to you! You give me hope for my dreams of one more 🙂 Mine are 10y, 4y, 2y, and 11mo. I’m tired, but I don’t know a mom of 4 who isn’t. We’re on the fence about one more; it would need to happen soon...

@daryle I have a graduate degree and worked in management prior to losing our childcare during early covid. We had 2 kids then, and I’m now pregnant with #4. We’re happier than ever, although obviously it was a huge change for everyone, not just financially. I’d always dreamt of being a SAHM but...

@lizzieb90 My 3yo goes one morning a week for an hour and a half. I don’t understand how it works for anyone who’s NOT a SAHP. Next year she’s eligible for 3 days/week, 2 hours/day but we haven’t decided yet if we’re doing it.

@nessofonett05 I’m a SAHM and we have 4, 10y-5mo. The vast vast majority of the time, if he’s home in the morning (he has variable work schedule, both start time and days), he lets me sleep in. Today I let him sleep in (I was up with one at 6:30, and he was up a little after 8). But he was up...

@cptbobproffesoromemeology I am so not a morning person. Especially when I have a kid not STTN, which I have currently. All of my kids have gone through very, very early morning phases, which is absolute torture. lol They’re unfortunately all unpredictable in their sleep, and the younger ones...

@madenew1989 Same lol my husband is a mechanic 😂

@proverbs3v5 Well my kids are happy in sweats/leggings and tshirts/hoodies, so it’s really not much different than pjs. If they’re jeans kids that’s a different story. Then I’d just make sure everything is laid out the night before, and kids who can dress themselves do that before they leave...

@proverbs3v5 Is the 16yo getting themselves ready? They really should be, with minimal direction. Honestly, I’d consider having any combination of the younger three sleep in their clothes for the next day if getting dressed is a struggle. Prep breakfast to 99% ready the night before. Car...

@jojoz It’s been totally fine, which I honestly didn’t expect because I’m definitely an anomaly in our area. I was 40 when #3 was born, and 42 with #4. I’ve been with the same practice (and actually saw them for a pregnancy we lost during second tri between #2 and #3), and they’ve been great. I...

@jojoz Our gaps are 6y, 24mo and 20mo - they’re currently 10y, will be 4y this month, will be 2y next month, and almost 3mo. I’m 42. Edit I’ve enjoyed/am enjoying our gaps for a variety of reasons. There’s definitely challenges, but I think that’s a given!

@daniel1986 BGBG But we had losses between 1-2 (x2 unknown) and 2-3 (boy).

@brisey Ours are very similar! 6y between the first two, then 24mo, and then 20mo. We’re on the fence about one more, but if we do it’ll be another close gap. The younger 3 absolutely ADORE the oldest, and he’s the most fantastic big brother. He’s old enough to have/do his own things, but also...

@new_2_this_b_kind Mine are currently 10y (in elementary school), 4y (preschool 2 mornings for 2.5h), 2y, and 5mo. I’m a SAHM. I’m not a pro by any means, but my goal is to get out of the house every day in the morning. The baby snoozes on the go (she hates her car seat, so if we’re out and I’m...

@thetwister Just know that nearly the entire process is out of your hands (timing-wise), and your state may have requirements about how long you’re required to be separated/other timing factors prior to divorce being granted. And that’s entirely separate from the process of settlement and...

@daisy83 We have 4, but usually it’s just the baby up at night (probably once a week the toddler or preschooler is up, too). My husband is a VERY sound sleeper, but he’s also very low sleep needs. So if I need him, I can wake him. But he will not wake on his own. It has to be pretty serious for...

@daisy83 Bedtime with our 4yo is super rough right now, too. We might maybe finally be making a little progress after many weeks of hell. So you may have a double whammy with the age and new baby. Hopefully you see improvement on its own soon!! 🤞🫶

@megan120711 Yes, I would be pissed. This is absolutely not the dynamic in our home and it would not work for me.

@thesandlapper Definitely start here. Any money you make won’t be secret once the divorce proceedings start, and will potentially just decrease what he owes you, as well as support determination based on your earning potential. Please please please talk to a lawyer before you do anything.
