@wonderer99 Thank you so much ! I will try this out. I don’t have a dishwasher but i wish i did. I just got a 200 ct of paper plates from Sam’s club. It’s been more helpful just more trash bags now. At this point I’m picking my poison lol!

@wonderer99 I will definitely start daily laundry so it doesn’t build up and i wait until the last minute and have a mountain of laundry. Do you have a specific order in which you do your daily laundry?

@percarus Thank you. I’m doing baths every other day because 3 of the kids are boys. My 8 year old can shower on his own. The 4 year old can shower but i will need to make sure he is cleaning properly. Not saying that i don’t think boys need to bath as much but u think it’s different than it is...

@percarus How long does it take to prep the laundry for all your kids? In hours? Do you wash, dry in fold in one day. Please elaborate if you don’t mind.

@doge9000 Sounds like a great idea! I will look for a sling wrap. I’m all for comfort because some of these carriers can be painful after wearing it for 30 mins. Thank you for the suggestion!!

@doge9000 Yes I do have a Solly wrap. My baby is 20 lbs and I’m not sure if it’s too effective because she is a lot bigger but yes I agree that will help if it’s even for 20 mins a day. I can cook a meal in 20 mins. I should probably edit the post because my 16 year old is currently with her dad...

@jamandcrumpets Awww I thought having older kids would make it easier. My oldest is with her dad for her 11th grade school year down south. I miss her because she was so helpful. She would clean the dishes, bathroom, and cook sometimes. I have to get my 8 year old son in tune with chores and...

@jakelawww I think it’s so beautiful how you give your wife credit! It take a village to be a family! While my husband covers our mortgage, bills and etc I’ll have to take the loss of not being able to get much miscellaneous things paid for. Any advice on how you handle paying for miscellaneous...

@sklyjd Thank you so much for your encouragement. I have been allowing my family to help me out more. I have been doing a lot better since i made this post. Trying to work on pouring into myself more. So last Sunday I went to the gym for the first time in my life, it was tough but i look forward...

@sklyjd Yessss this is true! I realized this a few weeks ago about not thinking it was supposed to be like have a baby and rush to work after 6 weeks. While on my job I wish that I can be home holding my daughter instead of working with a child who has behavioral issues. I believe this is why I...

@sklyjd I know and I think it’s that I’m so use to breastfeeding it will be a huge adjustment for me since I’ve been breastfeeding for the last 8 years. I am gonna look for a support group. Thanks for your advice.

@sklyjd My baby turned 6 months last Friday. My husband is really advocating that I stop breastfeeding to get energy but I think the babies need more til at least one year’s old.

@sklyjd I’m happy to hear that your wife was able to get a mental break from pumping by switching to formula. Trust me and I’m sure you have seen it is a lot of work but i feel it’s worth it for the sake of my daughter getting nutrients. I’m not at all against formula because I have bought...

@anamikads I wish I had that opportunity to be a SAHM. That would be beautiful because a lot of times I want to enjoy my babygirl being a baby and not focus on the things of this world to stay afloat. My husband pays the mortgage and and bills and I handle all the other miscellaneous expenses...

@twolfe Ok thanks I’ll check it out

@anamikads I was thinking a wfh job would be better for my circumstances right now.

@brandon05w Do you like being a Sahm? I think it would be easier but i could be wrong. I have to change my attitude about the pressure of having to get us as a family out the door for school and work in the speed of lightning lol! No i never meal prepped. I do want to meal prep tho. How long did...

@anondude123 I’m afraid that won’t be the case since I have the IUD but yea i get where you’re going with it

@anondude123 Lol right i was saying the same thing so after my 6 week postpartum appointment I was certain to ask about different birth control options

@orufan Yea i noticed that too a while back. I said oops seems like the kids are getting closer in age the more the amount goes up . Now im on IUD so im super excited about not have more but love my little ones tho!
