@teesang I got'chu :)

@teesang I understand what they are saying. You can have 5 children but you can't treat them all like only children. They have to be a team.

@zkbw2 Edited in comment

@donna50 Ok I edited the original

@katrina2017 I've got mountains of tips. I'll get back to you with them at nap time :) Edit: here it is naptime and I'm tired lol ok here goes I run a tight ship. Everything has a home. Every activity has a general schedule. Bad behavior gets nipped in the bud immediately (no 100 do...

@katrina2017 I edited the comment with tips. It's not super specific because our houses are different, it's more my philosophy

@suzannel 100% that last paragraph. I recently realized sending kids to their room was for parents' sake too. I also stop before I get too frustrated now and that took me a while to learn. Being pukes? Ok no more whatever thing we were doing. I'm not gonna force you to have fun.

@floridaman No they didn’t

@jdn2604 Do you have it in the budget for everyone to have their own thrifted clothes? That way they can still pick out their own clothes and you won’t break the bank. I shop nearly exclusively at thrift stores and love it because I can have my own wardrobe change nearly every year for $50 :P

@zondaar39 My boys are 18 months apart, oldest is 6. They've been wanting more of their own stuff this year especially has been clothes. Honestly I do my best and try to be lighthearted when stuff gets mixed up. My oldest is mostly blue and my youngest mostly green by design. I gave up on...

@1cor1013 Relax and enjoy. Three is awesome. Mine are 2, 4 and 5. The first six months were a hard adjustment but I was sick and had a clingy baby which left me really tired all the time. My biggest secret to success: I find that as my house looks like a preschool-it's happiest if I sort of...

@clh72481 Surprisingly I started spending way less on groceries when I got them delivered. I’m talking $50-100 less a week with the delivery fee and tip included. Turns out if all that crap isn’t in front of me I don’t buy it. So I meal plan every meal but Saturday and order once a week...

@christinak Thank you, truly. My second was my favorite pregnancy. Three was where my health fell to pieces lol. Listen to your heart. I just knew with two I needed three. And even before a lot of the bad health stuff I knew I was done at three. Good luck

@guitarofgod Had my first at 31 (3 kids, 3.5 yrs from first to last). My body has given out. I don’t know if it’s all due to pregnancy, we have a lot of other things going on too (we move almost every year with military and that is literally killing me). I like the comparative financial...

@river518 You should just ask. Nearly anyone doesn’t plan on immediately adopting 4 children but an emergency and family may make someone feel differently. My dad doesn’t want any more children. But he’s really the only option if something happens to my husband and I so him and his wife would...

@ajewelinhiscrown I make everyone have quiet nap time in the afternoon. Even my 4.5 yr old has a rest hour up there and then he has to quietly watch TV until the younger two wake up. It gives me time to sit for a minute and get things done, including working out. Lifting some weights and yoga...

@shahrukh I’ve considered sacrificing a room as an arts and crafts room. I went to public school and the art room was always a room as tiled as it could be and completely covered in splatter of all kind. But alas we rent 😔

@cliffusngmg1 Oh yea I get that. Can you pick up a small hobby that is of interest to both you and hubby? Like a video game or book or something that you can do in the evenings after kiddo goes to bed? I found that my problem was that I literally had nothing to talk about because I never did...

@sophie0813 You might think about how you message things to him too, that’s fair. But at some point he just has to deal with little kids being frustrating. He made them.

@sophie0813 I recently had to have a come to Jesus talk with my husband. Ages here are 2, 4 and 5 and husband is/was angry and seemed to hate being around us all the time. Problem is he travels a lot and when he’s gone the house is beautiful harmony. He is the angry voice and after years...
