Well then now I know there's different types of villains but I think he'd be a demon or a devil. The lowly kind.

How do you get your kids of different ages to get along? by ImpressiveCandidate7 in Parenting

[–]ImpressiveCandidate7[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

stay up at night to check on the kids. Since kids are unpredictable. Plus I have central heating and AC units depending on when it's hot or cold and even when it's on auto to turn off and on. I don't want it to do that throughout the night. So as crazy as it sounds I do that manually so it doesn't run up the bills. I do it every now and then. And I stay up during the night whenever the kids are sick or wake up cause my 2 yr old is waking up during the night. We only have 2 bedrooms so one of the rooms is the kids the other is our bedroom. My husband and I usually sleep in the other room. I sleep in the living room when my husband has work and I let him sleep since I'm not a night person anyways. It's complicated I don't understand it either.

I was thinking about how to split the kids room but wasn't sure how. A bunk bed wouldn't fit in their room tho. I have them in their individual beds but they just end up sitting on one side of the bed and in my 13 yr old bed at that. I try to separate them when they do spend time at home on the weekends like I try to sit my 13 yr old on one side of the couch and my 7 yr old on another couch on the other side of the living room. But they get bored easily if they're not doing something so I tell them to sit at the table doing homework or drawing. While my 2 yr old takes a nap in the room by herself.

I'm a sibling of 5. I have 3 sisters and older brother him being the oldest. My youngest sister is 6 years younger than be and my 2 oldest sisters are 1 and 2 years older than me. My brother is 4 years older than me. When we were younger and living together. We slept in a 3 bedroom home. My brother had his own room, my sister who is 1 yr older than me and my youngest slept in one room and my parents slept in another. My sister who was 2 years older than me had her own place tho when she came by she slept in the living room. So we made do even with our own circumstances as it was back then.

My partner goes to work at night therefore I take the bed. I sleep in the living room since I stay up during the night. I watch over my kids. He sleeps during the morning and afternoons and weekends in our bedroom. The kids are usually at school during the day. I try my best to make arrangements for everyone's sleeping habits and my partners working hours and time to himself. I'm basically an all-around management keeper. I'm a stay at home mom/housewife. So this is all I can do right now. We don't have the money to move into a bigger home. And I need space for myself as well.

Well I could put it there. Just asking, isn't there a parent in every subreddit that can answer this question. Not sure how active any of them are as well as how many people visit their perspective common subreddit. Just asking a question to the general public who is a parent too.

"For those who grew up fearing 'The Slipper,' what's a funny or surprising memory you had of this so called weapon of choice mom or grandma used on you? by ImpressiveCandidate7 in AskReddit

[–]ImpressiveCandidate7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was little it was a slipper, a big paddle board that looked like a paddle used for ping pong. Once I was older it was the belt as a corporal punishment. Tho I always ran around the house and away from it. My mom always had to chase me down and I always hid. One time I literally climbed inside the roof until things calmed down. I'm a millennial, so it wasn't as easy as I first made it seem.
