    How can you afford it?

    @puddingtader Our biggest expense is food. We buy in bulk (if it happens to be the cheaper option (it isn't always) and we buy our beef from a family member who owns a beef and Buffalo farm... they started raising pigs last year so we'll be able to start buying pork from them too. We buy at a...

    Does your working partner help overnight?

    @daisy83 I exclusively breastfeed so there really isn't anything for him to do to help.. unless baby has a blowout and I need help cleaning it up (bedding and such).

    @alex_t We have 5 (12, 10, 6, 2, and 10m) and are planning on having more (trying now for #6) I am a stay-at-home mom, however. We struggle with the same things you do. It is not easy and I find myself stretched thin but we make it work. I heavily rely on my older kids to help out around the...

    If you think kids don’t listen

    @ajewelinhiscrown That is so sweet! My 6 year old calls them 'bless you's' lol. "Mom, I bless you'd 3 times!" No matter how much I try explaining that they are, in fact, called sneezes and that 'bless you' is what we say to people when they sneeze... he still calls them that. Secretly, I...

    What would you have done?

    @ajewelinhiscrown As much as it would be nice for every teaching moment to be like an episode of The Brady Bunch.. sometimes drastic measures need to be taken in the moment.

    Cleaning/chore advice mom of 4

    @zondaar39 Lots of nagging lol. Also, consequences. You can try a natural consequence one day so they can see why it's an important chore. (You didn't do the dishes, so now you don't have a clean cup, etc.) Also, the things they love to do, aren't allowed until after their chores are done. They...

    Cleaning/chore advice mom of 4

    @cbaker06021984 The 10 and 8 year olds are absolutely old enough to start doing chores.. including their own laundry (with your guidance and supervision the first dozen times.) Look up age appropriate chores and you’ll see they can do way more than you’d think! I don’t know how you feel about...
