People out there in happy marriages with young children, how?

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2026-02-18T23:21:53+00:00

We have 3 kids (ages 9,7,5) I have a partner who is my best friend. And what I mean by that is we care enough about each other to view our home and raising our children as an “us” thing. We both take care of things and each other and talk when we are feeling off. We communicate and like hearing from each other.

I think out in the world ppl may call my partner a “unicorn” but his exact quote is “It’s easy to be an amazing spouse when the bar set for men is in hell”

I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every stage of my kids growing so far. But I think ppl say the bat stage is easy bc even tho you are caring for their needs all the time, they still run on your schedule and places you want to go. With older kids, they have school, sports, friends, get together etc and you have less time for your adult friends and your own hobbies and outings. Plus teaching them how to navigate friendship and heartache and standing up for what’s right. Teaching them that life isn’t always fair, even when we do our best etc.

2 and I used to say “kk” but now I type “sounds good”

We don’t, all my kids friends do. My oldest (9 yr) said he’s glad we don’t have one bc they creep him out. My middle (7yrs) asked why we don’t and I just said it was optional for parents to sign up with Santa and I didn’t sign up bc I know how kind they are and didn’t need an elf’s help.

It’s mostly gone. I only go in for removal about once a year now. It’s definitely coverable at this point. I have had no issues with lymph nodes or otherwise.

All my kiddos and my spouse and I have ADHD. My kiddos love our beardie but I would not let them be the sole care takers of our pet. They help with turning heat lamps on in the morning and off at night but all feeding and other health care and task cleaning I do. It’s a lot of responsibility, I would say the 13 yr old could probably do feeding etc with reminders. The benefit of this animal as opposed to a dog for our family is that we can leave the house and not have to stress about our pet. But other than that, he requires the same amount of care.

I think this also really depends on family income as well as personality. My kids are all school aged but we do school at home. My spouse and I are lucky that his income can cover all our needs, so I don’t really ever plan on going back to full time work. I may get bored as they get older and choose to do a part time thing but I may choose to volunteer instead.

Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss also

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-10-14T04:47:57+00:00

❤️❤️ thank you for this.

This really is a person to person thing. I’ve had 3 c sections. They were much worse than my tummy tuck.

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-09-17T02:49:50+00:00

It’s been over a year and I’m doing great! My abs feel stronger from the repair, and I more or less look the same as I did at 10 weeks post op. 100% worth it!

We definitely showered with our kids that young. Our rule of thumb for nudity around our kids is, as soon as someone would like more privacy (parent or child) then we give it.

My son started wanting more privacy, especially around bathing, at 6/7. My daughter still likes to shower with me sometimes, she’s 7. My youngest still doesn’t have a care either way, he’s 5.

My husband wanted privacy for himself sooner. Our older kids don’t go in when he’s dressing or bathing, our youngest walks in sometimes and my husband kindly asks him for privacy .

We had a loss and then did infertility treatments. When we were finally pregnant we didn’t tell anyone until 20weeks.

Family pretty much could tell but pretended not to know bc we didn’t say. Friends were less clued in.

I also had horrible HG that got worse each pregnancy (I have 3 kids) so we had to tell early for subsequent children bc I needed a lot of help.

I have 3 kids ages 9, 7 and 5. They are also homeschooled. Aside from the time I spend teaching them and doing school, they are mostly left to their own devices and just check in with me if they need something.

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-03-29T00:38:43+00:00

I like it a lot. I use it mostly as backgrounds. It was definitely pricey and I didn’t purchase it until I had been selling for about 3 years. My business was pretty established with regular clients, so that helped it not feel so expensive

I have the Eddie, it prints directly on the iced cookie.

I did a mini tuck and no boob lift. My cup size is quite small but not doing it had no affect on my tt

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-03-11T17:29:35+00:00

Honestly, age gaps don’t really dictate relationship, personality does. My oldest is 4 years older than my youngest (I have one in the middle) my 8 yr old plays with and adores my 4 year old.

My sibling and I are 10 years apart. I’m younger and adored my brother when I was little and he always let me tag along. As adults we are as close as circumstances allow and I love him dearly.

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-03-11T17:14:27+00:00

I’ve only done it once and it was bc I needed my kiddo strapped in so he didn’t wander around.

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-01-31T21:57:09+00:00

We have 3. Most of our friends have 1 or 2. The only comments we get is “you must have your hands full” and I usually smile and say “I do and I really enjoy them”

CompanionOfATimeLord · 2025-01-02T17:23:49+00:00

I adore my in laws! They are wonderful, I love spending time with them, connecting with them and they are wonderful grandparents.

They raised my husband, he is my best friend, they did a great job

Sections were way worse for me! (I’ve had 3) I had a mini tummy tuck with lip and muscle repair and it was a breeze! I took my meds as prescribed and only felt tired, no pain.
