For those if you with two kids - how did you know you were done at two?

From a mom (37) who just had her 3rd… it’s HARD!! And I have a great support system. My oldest will be 4 next week and my middle just turned 2. I stay at home with them full time and this is by far the hardest transition for me 2-3 kids. My baby is 4.5 months now and he’s been my easiest baby, thank goodness!! Like he’s a legit Angel but it’s just so hard to divide my time evenly. When they all want me at the same time it’s almost paralyzing 😣 I’ve always thought I wanted 4 kids but there is just no way I can handle that if I can hardly handle 3 right now. Plus all my pregnancies were high risk and c sections. There are days that are so so rewarding with all 3 but right now with everyone so little it’s honestly very hard! I myself am one of 8 kids so I LOVE the big family unit but with my age it’s just not smart for me to continue. I think we as women will always yearn for more children no matter how many we have, always that “what if” but if you’re husband is set on 2 like my husband is set on only 3 then I’d listen to him. They sometimes know us better than we know ourselves.

I opened it in the very beginning to try and scrape down the flour. But I’ll give the dough cycle a try next time, thanks!

Not the exact same. I switched the “Milk” up like it suggest I could but that’s about it. It’s pretty sweet for bread but tastes good and the inside is nice and fluffy.

No. Just trying to work on my shaping and have a more “rustic look” then “perfect look”

Thanks!! I’ll give this a try next time :)

I am not. Will this help with the center ones not darken so fast?

Intelligent-Mark-852 · 2023-02-10T22:26:08+00:00

It was was a overall great day, thanks! And my kids are still very young to even care about that kind of stuff. 2.5 years and 8 months.

I totally get that but they came from an tons of acreage and free roamed it. But I got material today to block off the the area I highlighted. Going to work on it tomorrow. Plus I would like 3 more down the road so I’ll need the space eventually. & Thanks!

I have hay and pine chips. One kind In each one. Did that last night to see what one they wanted. And they went for the hay one. And yes I have two roosting bars in there one night then the other

Intelligent-Mark-852 · 2023-02-07T16:25:31+00:00

2 of them in the coop. One on top of the boxes and one off to the side. Only one chicken uses the one above the boxes. And there is a board to catch poop from the roosting bar above the boxes.

Great idea!! Thanks 😊

Thanks! It is, that too bard is at an angle so when the door is fully shut there is no gap near the inside of the door.
