re: *OFFICIAL THREAD* Moms with 4+ kids

ALright ladies....made the thread an official moms with 4+ kids...go invite other moms  

Quoting Life is G♡♡d:" You're very welcome hun......And it's the truth!! A lot of people give up, think it's too hard and they can't do it....I commend you for sticking to it to provide for your children and you!"

I just want them to grow up happy with values and morals. Im all they have so I would never give up on them or myself. Trust I have my moments but as parents we all do at times.. I'm just glad that I am able to provide for my family.

Quoting Life is G♡♡d:"    haha, i remember the day my own mother told me this!!"

My mom never did
but alot of other people mentioned it
and know what it sounds like a plan
means when they get mean or throw fits Im calling up a id to come pick their kid up

Quoting Life is G♡♡d:" Damn, ain't that the truth!!!!!!!! I am happy, they will be starting school, but i get sad imagining them out of the house during the day!  "

Its like its a countdown till they get old enough to move out
or drive
or go off to school
I try to enjoy the moment but in a blink its gone and they are grown

lol, what's funny though, is my mom said that to me, but she never wants to send the kids home when she did have them!

My mom never did and never sees mine
I think the babys teeth are bothering her   (OT I know)

Lil E has no teeth yet  
she's almost 9 months old...but I'm not really worried, her bigger sister and bro didn't start getting teeth until they were both almost a year old!

How does LO do with a cold wash rag? That always seemed to make my kids happy when their teeth were "itchy"

Ari is almost 9 mths and has 6 teeth
the two at the bottom and then 4 on top that are half of the way out
I think them coming all the way out is hurting her
Thats a long time to wait to get the teeth in lol

She would just look at me funny
lol

i know it...she doesn't seem phased by it...she will gum food...I will feed her foods soft enough for her to eat that I cook for everybody else (squash, broccoli, taters, etc...)
I swear I keep fooling myself into thinking I feel teeth coming through, but it's nothing...she does drool massively, but she's been doing that since she was 5 months old, lol.

They may just surprise you
and pop in over night

Emotionally going from 4-5 was our hardest so far...Financially once you have 3 the financial aspect does not seem to go up any more. I recommend keeping meal plans for 2 weeks and budgeting if you dont already do so

Thankfully we do already do this.
And it helps SO MUCH!!!! Keeps us from just buying frivelous(sp) things we don't need or rarely eat but looked good at the moment on the shelf in the grocery store, lol.

Can you explain, please, how it was harder emotionally?
