Forums » Smalltalk » AMA: Stay at home mom of 4 kids under 6

It ain't easy but it is worth it.
I have two girls and two boys.
Girls are 5 & 3
Boys are 1 & 2 months old

I suppose you mean 1 and 2 years old, if not twins where one is taken out to give more chances to the second.

People, THIS is how a Mom looks like after three days of non-sleeping because the youngest wakens the older allllll night long, cf Avatar of Zombiequeen...

Am I wrong?

I think you can assure to anyone, that being Mom is a full time job with enormous overtime (unpaid)?

I think she said 1 year old and 2 months old.

HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN COOKING AND CLEANING??

I’ve got no questions for my beautiful and crazy friend. Just wanted to make sure you know I love you bunches! You know that, right?

You are stronger than you know, babe!!!

Oh no, I meant 1 and 2 months old. No twins. Yes, being a mom with kids of any age is a full-time job. But, for me, it is fulfilling and makes me so happy. And depressed at times. But, it is need never their fault just the stress of taking care of them gets to me.

For the username. I've been zombiequeen for years cause I love zombies. But, you ain't wrong. I currently have a 2 month old, and he is making me a zombie. But, now that I've had kids, the zombie username fits so well. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Balancing my time, help from my husband. Plus, I make the older two help clean their messes a lot, which helps. Some days I give up and leave the house a mess and just do things for me or have fun with the kids. If I didn't have my husband I'd never have time for school or really anything else.

Single women are some damn strong women. I'd crumble. Lol!

Aww, I love you Stormie! You are the best!

I only have one and she's 5! How do you manage all of the school events and memorizing everything?
My hat is off to you!!

Thank you! 😃 I am homeschooling them, so that takes off more than you'd think. But, the 5 year old is in online school right now. Soon we will do sports. I do it so far with the calendar and reminders on my phone!

But, honestly, since we will homeschool, I can just dump anything that is too much for me or them.

That's insane and rewarding for you.

im so proud of you coming from another mom

Aww, thank you! I am happy to find another parent on this site.
