Hi ladies.
Kim - My eldest is 15 this year, where have the years gone to. My little Lily started school this year and she was crying everyday not wanting to go until I let her catch the bus home with her brother and now she wants to go everyday KIDS. Twins are well gee they are sooo cute, they are sooo much fun I have been blessed. Charlie boy is the best baby around town I will send you some off his wonderful baby vibes so you also have the best baby around town. GD I was just off having this I think 7.5 is GD I was 7.4 maybe that's why Charlie was such a huge baby. Hope all is well.
Hi everyone else :hello:

Cathie - I would love some of your "best baby vibes" lol. I need to have one baby that sleeps well. We still have the 4yo and the 2yo getting into bed with us every night :o Means not a lot of sleep for us as they are very restless. DD1 had a good day for her birthday and she got her nose and belly button pierced (ouch) but she is happy with it and I guess it was better than what she originally wanted (lip, eyebrow and tongue). Her dad took her out for dinner and her stepmum was even there and didn't say anything nasty - I wonder if she was warned off by exH lol. In regards to the GD I have been started on a long lasting insulin at night time only. My pre breakfast levels were too high for them so we are trying this before anything else. My other levels are good.
Meara goes into hospital on Tuesday to have her pump fitted. We have to stay in there for a few days (not looking forward to that) to make sure that her levels are ok and that they have calibrated it correctly. Not happy about sleeping on those beds at over 30 weeks preggers :( DF's bestie is moving out today (finally). I had to ask him for rent as we are really struggling with huge bills (that he contributed to but hasn't paid anything towards) and he has decided to leave here and not pay rent but to live in his car :o Arseh#le. DF is really upset with him. We have let him stay here rent free now for 4 months and then he does this. He has had a job since before xmas and I have been waiting for him to offer us some form of rent but I guess I can go whistle now. I've told DF he not to come back here to live ever again and DF agreed. It has hurt him worse as they have been friends now for 30 years and for his bestie to disrespect him like that :shakeshead: Oh well what's done is done.
Hi everyone else. Pop in and give us some more goss lol. Hope you are all well

Hi ladies!
My DF and I have 4 kids between us - he has 2 from his previous marriage (1 of whom lives with us, the other comes fortnightly for the weekend), I have 1 from my previous marriage and we have 1 together... We plan on having another in around 2ish years!
My mum lives with us as she has a lot of health problems...
We are trying to buy a bigger car at the moment but they are Soooooo expensive!
Anyway, hope to get to know you all!

Right at this very moment, the silence is BLISS. This is me time when the kids are all in bed and I can actually sit down and watch a bit of tv, unwind before I go to bed.

Dianne

Yes Dianne I understand what your saying, I just love it when all the kids are in bed and I can sit and relax for a few Minutes hahahah :rofl:

hello all, and thankyou for a lovely welcome :)
Of course the big question for me is.....how do you do it??!!
I struggle to manage three little bodies at the moment, I don't know how I'm going to do 4 and be sleep deprived at the same time!!

Does anyone have trouble with just one child who everyone else has to make allowances for?
DD is a real handful and if she is having a bad day then its like we all have to tread carefully so not to upset her and set off tantrums. not to say we let her get away with things but take the tv for example. If she is foul I will put Dora on for her and she will at least have a rest which she so badly needs and look out if the boys want to watch something. Its just easier to leave Dora on so she doesn't start screaming. i know its giving in to a certain degree but I feel bad for the boys and sometimes it is even something as simple as letting her choose a seat at the table even though one of the boys wanted to sit there kwim?
-
I know we do this with DS2. I often feel bad about it too. Then again most of the time the kids understand and are happy to, just so they not have to listen to the tantrum too!
-
Our household is exactly the same. DD3 rules what is watched on tv and that is Disney Chanel. The older kids have now learnt how to distract her so that they can change the chanel, it lasts for about 15min then the squeeling begins and they have to change it back.

Dianne

Hello :hello:
Becstar - hey I have 6 kids 15DS, 10DS, 6DD, 2DS, 2DD, 10weeksDS. I just take each day as it comes we have our good days and our Bad, but I have found since the 6 year old has started school the twins are soooo much better.
Aussienic - It was the same in our house with the 6 year old until I decided no MORE, she was not sleeping, Not listening, fighting with the other kids. I decided to start giving her one to one as often as I could she found it really hard when the twins came along. I would praise her when she was doing the right thing and when she was not I would give her time out. We still have our good days with her and our bad, Lily has been soo much better since she has started school.

Hi all,
My name is racheal and I am expecting bubba #4 in September. I have 2 year old twin boys and a 1 year old boy. I am looking forward to another bundle of joy but am hating being pregnant this time round! So exhausting with three little ones! Some days I feel way in over my head but then others I feel so proud and full if love for my family. Would love to hear all your family sizes and age gaps between your kids. And what is the best piece of advice you can pass on
Looking forward to keeping up with this thread!

I am so glad others do the same as us.. Olivia is getting better since we brought in the traffic light system.. I don't think we have even had a tantrum at bedtime since Saturday :)
She didn't even end up on the yellow or red lights today so very proud of her and told her so..
Hi Racheal :) Congrats on bub 4.
My age gaps are 4 and a bit years then pretty much 2 years for the next 3.. lol.. Ds1 was just over 4 when we had DS2 and he was 23 months when we had DS3 and he was 25 months when DD came along..
and to think we almost stopped at 1 because getting pg again just didn't seem to happen. I actually said to my DH lets just have the 1 and focus all our attention on him :) little did I know I was already pg with DS2 :lol: We thought it would take just as long again so started trying straight away afetr he was born.

Sorry guys have been in the hospital with DD3 as she got her insulin pump fitted on Tuesday. We got home at dinner time today so had some yucky days at the hossie.
Hi to all the new comers. Yes Cathie and I would love some new people to talk to lol.
Sorry will come back on tomorrow and give more answers but am so tired right now. No sleep to speak of for 3 nights will knock it out of even the best of people.
