@brown-horse I have the same issue. I’ve tried to explain but often falls on deaf ears!!

Chomp beef sticks
Cashews
Raisins
Z bars
Dried Mango
Just fruit bars
String cheese
Sliced apples

Then obviously the old goodies like goldfish, pretzels

Thrive market has a ton of healthy snack options - just have to try them out and see if your kids like them. We are kind of hit or miss!

My 7 year old loves diary of a wimpy kid and investigators!

Head to your local library - there’s a section for young readers. That way he can look around and see what looks interesting!

@Salmon-Kangaroo
Make a schedule, stick to it.
Plan WAY ahead, like 9 days and then just roll with any changes
Grocery order Friday, have it delivered sat or sun morning. Then you’re set for meals for the week.
To do list on your phone. I do this by day and include on it what’s for dinner that night so you know if you need to prep.
Wake up before your kids.

@White-Alligator 1. It’s all a season - and this isn’t the season for it for me personally. I check in with husband every now and again when it’s really been awhile I just suck it up and do it. But the desire is not there.

Has anyone had the mommy makeover? I’m now 3 years postpartum after 4 kids and the stomach is…not the vibe anymore. If you’ve done it, is it worth it? How do you navigate explaining this and your recovery to young kids?

@everythingisfine
Tell him he gets what he gets and he can’t throw a fit

Meh… not my thing

You can have a clean house, happy kids or a hot wife. Choose 2. There’s no way to do it all.
