@chadfrommudvayne We shower together. Sometimes you just have to put the TV on. I remember my parents doing that. We all knew, because it was so obvious, but there's nothing wrong with them seeing health in your marriage. One of my love languages is quality time. It's tough, but important. I...

@slfunk I will have a family of 5 to feed (baby not included)! I have just been doubling the recipes when I have enough of the ingredients and it's a freezer-friendly meal. I'm in that sweet second trimester right now. What I have so far is skinny brown sugar oatmeal muffins, meatballs, and mild...

@katrina2017 Snacks are useful. I would recommend mixing them up every so often and not buying the same ones all the time. I have easy access snacks, unlimited in my house, but I think they're getting burnt out from eating the same ones. Post pandemic woes.

@clh72481 Well, personally, we don't go big for Christmas. A nice meal, some small things, and 1 want that is reasonable priced. Some fun treats like a gingerbread house. It sounds like y'all may benefit from doing a No Spend Month. I just did one in September and it was great! I was the only...

@stephend78 They're still young. The oldest is 4, which is right about the time children start needing less sleep.

@sam26 There have been numerous studies done which state otherwise. I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, there are several factors that put a woman at an increased risk of miscarriage. I was not just in my 20's.

@koolsheep We do dinner at 5-ish, too. It gives mine time to eat and like you, time for bedtime routine/baths. We do bathing 3 times a week.

@mwylcxca97 There are plenty of used vehicles around. Maybe you know someone who's selling a car. We've totally helped families out before. Never ever had a car loan ourselves. We bought a cheap minivan when we had a third and upgraded when we found a more ideal car. Things do not have to be...

@chessmaster777 No, but I had my children in my 20's.

@bbfantastic Tell folks the truth and someone very likely may throw you a baby shower. Even a diaper and wipes party would be helpful.

@ladydaffodil It's not just about space for car seats, though. You'll also want space for shopping and stuff. Trust me, I'm a mom of 4.

@dp797 I've been doing big clothes/shoes shopping trips. Previously, it was once a year, buying odds and ends or as needed during the rest of the year, but now I have 4 (2g, 2b), so I find that overwhelming and am trying biannual trips this year. I would buy the next size up, or a couple sizes...

@davidstotler They may want to consider some level of prepping after all this blows over. Online shopping may be beneficial as well.

@luke The crazy thing is, everyone I see seems to have a stocked pantry on the regular and I don't understand that. Besides some baking things, I don't have much of a pantry, which is totally changing after all this nonsense. I wish folks would just mind their own business. I only had 2 kids and...
