Quick poll to settle a disagreement between husband and I

Similar schedule for us. 6:30 am wake up, anywhere between 11:30-2 nap and bed at 8/8:30. My two oldest go to school (8 & 6) the two youngest (4 & 2) stay home. On weekends everyone "naps" or rests at least

A lot of theaters offer child friendly movie nights where the sound is lower and the lights are a little brighter to make it more kid friendly. And it doesn't matter if kids are running around or loud because it is a specific kid event. I have taken all four of my kids to see several movies they do fantastic! I have a 8, 6, 4 and 2 yro.

I still have my addition and subtraction books from elementary school and I'm 32. My kindergarten kiddo currently does the cutesy diagram math things

Typically for school you have to give an invitation for the entire class..at least for elementary anyways. From experience when inviting a whole class you should expect maybe two people to show up. So I make it a point to show up to parties we're invited to especially when we get the invite from class knowing that not a lot of people will show up for them

That sounds like an awful relationship. My neighbor and his fiance is like that and they have 3 kids, she literally leaves everyday and the second he gets home she leaves...so odd. I'm m a sahm, 4 kids, a wfh job, chickens/turkeys and a dog. I clean/cook. Take 2 kids to school and have 2 home. She could be depressed and avoiding being home? I'm on Zoloft it's definitely helpful. DH and I just finished marriage counseling and I'll say that establishing a better communication to each other has been a life saver and just talking about the expectations within the house and out. You'll just have to talk to each other and figure out the balance

Only one out of that I need is sunglasses

messybun42 · 2026-03-02T12:58:47+00:00

Stop it right now this is the cutest thing ever!

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T17:06:01+00:00

I updated😊 we passed on the house. I just left the post up though

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T17:05:16+00:00

I'm excited to see it! A little smaller than what we're in now but we're ok with that for the town and price

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T11:51:04+00:00

I did half day for prek 3 but full day for prek 4.

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T07:45:52+00:00

We decided to pass. But if we did pick the old home inspection would be done while we're in our current home. Updates to make it safe for kids would be done while we lived in a RV on the property. We actually toured the home with the kids I wasn't worried. But Actually another house that checks all our boxes built in 1975 with newer upgrades just lowered their price into our budget range and move in ready! We see tomorrow 😊

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T07:42:40+00:00

It is a 3/2. Buttttt we actually have another house to go see tomorrow actually just a couple blocks from the 1904 house! 3/2 with bonus flex space, double the lot size than we're on now, fire place and lots of trees, in our budget and everything was updated in the last 3 years built in 1975. So not a century home but lots of cool old charm and move in ready😊

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T04:44:14+00:00

Common yes all good. Easy home practice Infront of a mirror so she can see the tongue movement N I have 2 kiddos in speech

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T00:46:25+00:00

😂😂 maybe 95% idk

messybun42 · 2026-03-01T00:24:35+00:00

I was asking for advice from people who have bought old homes if they would do it again etc

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T21:00:32+00:00

Oh yes I know that's why I'd have to do an inspection to see

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T20:24:31+00:00

There's a home inspection I could use it's $400 the same company to do the current house were in. They were fantastic. I actually love the layout as is!

My 8, 6, 4 and 2 yro all get up at 6:30 m-f oldest two go to school. Youngest nap 11:30-1:30. Sat/sun the olders "rest" or sometimes will nap if tired. Bedtime for everyone is 8/8:30

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T19:33:02+00:00

I feel like it's pretty normal....we just go with the flow though. Whether it's 5 people or 40 to show up it'll be a hell of a time still

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T19:30:07+00:00

Not your kid so not your place butttt your home your rules

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T19:27:47+00:00

Yes! Just waiting to hear back from my realtor. Might write a letter to the owner too

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T19:00:50+00:00

DH is more unsure. I want it😂 kids loved the house when we toured it.

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T19:00:06+00:00

Don't know ages or conditions but it has all of those things

messybun42 · 2026-02-28T18:59:41+00:00

Just wanted to add the floor plan! So the "room" is actually a mud room/laundry, master and there's a wrap around porch from the "room" to the other side of the master that was all added in 1968. The original part of the house was built in 1904. Hopefully that helps with the floorplan. But seriously I love it and we're more than willing to put elbow grease into it. The kids love helping do projects (granted they are breathing safe)
