Welcome to MomBrain

I have three kids. Twin 4 year olds and a 2 year old. I have always wanted a big family, but life is expensive and my patience is slim. Both of my pregnancies were twins, so the likelihood of having twins again is HIGH. I’m also approaching 35 which increases the chance of twins too. Moms with 4/5 kids, do you have regrets? Is it way more insane than 3 kids? Are there any things that you’ve implemented to make your life easier with so many kids?

We are having trouble getting pregnant with our third which is bizarre bc 1&2 were not difficult whatsoever. It’s really heartbreaking and completely unexpected. It’s grief but also trying to remain hopeful. How do I manage this rollercoaster?

I've stopped drinking, but find myself missing the ritual of an evening glass of wine.

Has anyone heard of all the buzz around Ozempic babies and how its helping with infertility?? Would love additional information here.

Currently trying to minimize the amount of stuff we have in our house. It’s like all of a sudden we are drowning-I guess I blacked out all those years that got us here. Looking for strategy on where to even start.

I dread and hate the idea of packing school lunches for the next decade+. My kids are 2 and 5. My oldest can't have: soy, egg, peanut and tahini in her lunch due to allergies in the class (fml). Any favorite Pinterest links or accounts you follow on IG for lunch ideas?

I have been considering trying mushrooms for anxiety. Can anyone elaborate on your experience with them?

How do we block YouTube on all devices including TV? It’s so weird and my kids all end up there even with rules. We can’t take the tv away completely bc we use it sometimes while we are getting tasks done.

How to make school mornings run more efficiently with 4 under 4, unorganized mom, two story house- woof

Really been enjoying a gummie to unwind in place of alcohol (no hangover!), but the problem is many leaving me raiding my cabinets. Anyone know the best gummy out there that doesn’t give the munchies?

Hi!

So many of my fiends have added Chaga Mushrooms to their morning routine after working with a functional medicine doctor. What does this help with? Also looking for a functional expert to chime in on other things I could add to my routine (electrolytes, trace minerrals power pack, omegas??). What else do we need to function as a Power Mom these days lol.

Hi!

How do we avoid our kids becoming brats?? We live in a nice area of. town, but I want to avoid them growing up thinking its normal to have aviator nation and lulu lemon in elementary school!! Also, my girls do WANT that stuff since all their friends have it. Has anyone successfully navigated these conversations successfully??

Hi!

Has anyone. had a tummy tuck? Good or bad experience, pros and cons? Would love all feedback!!

At what age did you stop brushing your child's teeth and let them do it independently? We tried letting our daughter do it for a stretch of time because it was something she really battled us over... that backfired with multiple cavities. When does it become an age-appropriate task to pass on to them without the big dental bills?

I know you love your husband and so do I. I’m not considering getting a divorce but sometimes I wonder if I married the right person. Did I get married too young? Idk, I love him I just don’t know if it would be different if we met later in life.

Would LOVE any tips on things you wished you would have done differently / things that you recommend navigating this new world of dating someone with kids!

Needing a really good book to listen to. I like historical fiction the most. No sci fi - no thrillers. Been on a streak of not so great books so I want something you would read more than once.

Help! Apparently I’m not Beyoncé and need more affordable hair product. I have fine/straight hair. Anything out there? Is it being on the grocery store shelves too much to ask?

What would be the most perfect 1st trip to Europe? 10+ days. Where & when? Hotels, agent? Just me and hubby

I have a friend that told me it’s typically an hourly rate until kids go to bed, plus $75 for overnight, and then again hourly from when the kids wake up. Is this low, high? I’d love to go on a night away with the husband but not sure how to handle the offer.
