    Brother, my wife and I had five boys in six years (now 14,12,10,9,8) and I can say for certain that it CAN BE DONE! When you have 5 kids in car seats at one time, it can be tough. But, certain milestones are victories. Being able to buckle themselves, getting out of diapers, sleeping through the night. Read up about wonder-weeks, they are the real deal. Please don’t take Mama for granted! Make sure you take care of her. You’ll never regret time spent with her and the kids! God bless you, your family, and your business! Thanks for the ride along

  • @heatherd.9390
    @heatherd.9390 2 місяці тому

    I lost my husband when my daughter was 1 year old and I never got married again so only have the one. Raising her by myself for the past 23 years has been the hardest and the best, hardest, sweetest, scariest, most rewarding thing I've ever done. Doing the math, she's now 24yo. I am now disabled from a spine/cord injury and am in my early 50's. I can totally understand and appreciate you both and how you feel about raising kiddos. I don't know how my mom did it. I am the youngest and my brother is 4.5 years older than me. There are 3 of us. If you take into account that a woman is pregnant for the majority of a year, there's basically 6-8 months between one of use being born and her becoming pregnant again. Yikes! My brothers and I will all agree though, that we have an amazing mom.
    Our dad worked a lot and was there as much as he could be. I never did get along with my dad because he was always of the mindset (still is to a degree) that boys are 'better'. Maybe not better per say, but he had more in common with them. Me having Barbies and wanting a purple bike instead of my oldest brother's twice passed down old black one was a bummer. He didn't coach any of MY sports or even came to many of my games.
    If I could offer a dad any advice, it's to be as involved in your daughter's life, activities, hobbies as you are your son's. She'll notice and she'll remember. I have no doubt that you will be as great of a daddy to Ella as you are for Rip. She will look up to you her entire life, so just remember how that tiny little hand felt as she held your one finger when she was tiny.
    Congratulations (belated) on your new precious bundle. She is beautiful. It's nice to see Rip as a toddler now. He's a cutie-pie. That white blonde hair is exactly what I had, and I imagine each of you had too, when I was a lil' one. Your children have been blessed with wonderful, loving parents and it'll be fun to see them from time to time here and there. You look great Madi and am so glad you are feeling good too.

    Hopefully you both will read this message, my wife and I were married 3 yrs before we decided to have a child, when we had a baby girl we both wanted to have another child just so our first child would have a sibling, once we had 2 children at 2 yrs apart, we both decided to just go for it and we had 3 more making our family a total of 5 children. Looking back it was a struggle that I wouldn't change anything. Now my wife and I are enjoying our 10 grandchildren! I will tell you that we have the most amazing beautiful family. If you and Maddy get along great without even an argument, please continue to have children and I promise both of you that 20 yrs from now you will be happy that you went through having children and raising children is the hardest job on the planet. To all the mothers, your the best. Congratulations to the both of you, thank you for sharing your family to the world. ❤

You and Maddie have a hell of a good life. I wish you, the kids, the dogs and the 5000 squirrels all the happiness you can get. You deserve it.

    Hang in there guys. My son is the oldest, he drives us to the brink many times, but also gave us some of our greatest memories. He was labeled ADHD in grade school but we didn’t accept that. Yes, he could be a big pain. Yes, he made me crazy, but he turned out great! We made him excersize and swim in his teen years, no drugs, kept him busy…. He is 24 now. Got his contractors license at 22, super hard worker, and a natural leader. God bless the Mitchell family.

      Kids are not a commodity. Splitting time and properly raising two kids is enough in itself. You start getting into neglect/abuse territory if you can't fully invest in them like parents should. They've said multiple times, they want to get back to doing stuff and traveling. That sounds like it's time to snip some tubes and live life. Stop pressuring others to have literal children.

    I love that the two of you still want to hold onto who you are at the core and not let children take over your lives. Because when they grow up and move out, you’re left with the two of you and if you put your identities aside you will lose sight of why you’re together and what you enjoy doing together. Kids can be a blast and they certainly test you but your relationship should be the core of that household. Cheers fellas it does get easier as they get older, incrementally. 14 and 7 here so it also ages you quick watching them grow up. Where do the years go.

    I'm sure you've heard: time flies and our kids are growing up fast! My three boys are now early teens, and it's truly amazing. Every Christmas, we give them the gift of a family experience, which means we get to travel together. It's such a better feeling than traveling solo or as a duo, and as they get older, they tackle things on their own.
    We've been to New Zealand, all over Australia, Fiji, and Tokyo, and we have another trip planned soon. The tough moments come much less frequently as they age and get better at communicating. It's a process, but it's the best ride ever!

    Your relationship advice is spot-on. The couple needs to mesh well and have great, open communication. We had three that were three and under; it works. Best advice we ever had was teaching our kids sign language. A few words that really helped until they were 2-3 years old: food, more, all done, potty, please. Eventually, Madi will be able to take the kids out (or more confident to do it.) It comes with more "reps." Rips is a young boy. It's normal to be a bit more to handle at that age. Best wishes to the fam!

But at the end of the day, u have a stacked bank account, financially stable, steady dependable income/salaries. Huge difference in life raising kids. Thanks for the content. Keep em coming.
