Club 3 or more Kids

i must add that if u can control #1, u can make him/her the ‘class monitor’ at home to help u control #2 and #3

initial yrs were tough when kids were really young. DH always travel and it was hell when my mil was stayg wf me. now just me n maid n the kids even if DH travel i m still happy surviving.

takes a lot of parental control to bring up the 3. i do scream n yell (not a gd eg) when they really drive me med. but now i try to use the hug n love persuasion approach and train #1 to help me control the rest

Hi 24hr-mum,


I m 37. Currently, canning and screaming are common in our house especially with the 3 boys. Having close age gap meaning they are prone to fighting with each other with no exception for my girl being the eldest.

Same like you, now i hv been trying to instill reasoning method which need to take tremendous effort. Can't imagine how the teacher in Childcare centre handle a bunch of kids.

I found u and this thread to share the sentiments of having more than 2 children

btw i cannot rem the ages of the kids here. How old is ur eldest? my #1 is 8 nx yr, she is the easiest too.. if i hv triplets of her hehe... life as sahm shld be a bliss

she is quite a good example, however she cannot control the 5yo (which still looks n behave like a big baby) and the 3yo (notti boy), no one is \"follower\".

2011:
DD1 8yo
DD2 6yo
DS3 4yo
(they are all nov/dec kids)

sometimes i get so sick and tired of them.... soooo noisy and its busy for me from the minute i open my eyes in the morning, till i close my eyes at night.


sometimes i feel like giving up, and just return to work, get my salary, my yummy bfast, lunch, shopping and chit chat time.

but if i returned to work, who will look after them? maid? childcare?.... i just cant do it.

i must say i do see results from being SAHM, they are so much more disciplined and they do better in school. We are temporary staying with my parents and it makes being a sahm tougher (think u know y).

alot of time i just feel like giving up!

as i m typing this, they are monkeying around. ask them nap, dont listen. talk to them nicely, they ignore. must scream and cane.... ???? crap

Yep...no matter how nice and sweet your voice is when the bunch of them together, they simply ignore u :x

[porcupine12trade]

having said that (i want to give up), i still give thanks, i am given a chance to discipline and coach the kids myself.

When i was FTWM, my kids were raised my mum’s way = lost of TV, junk food and "attention" haaa. my parents simply give in to their whims n fantasy, totally not my style

i guess the grass is always greener on the other side… i need to learn to appreciate my side of grass
