Home is where the heart is. It's where we hang our hats, raise our children, and spend the better part of our lives. We want to keep it running smoothly, looking nice, and organized. With kids, particularly lots of kids, that can be a challenge. This board is here for you to share your tips, tricks, advice, ask questions, and generally chat with others about keeping our homes, and all its many extensions, in order. All visitors of Lotsofkids are welcome to post on this forum, regardless of family size!

2. */*/*/*/* ROLL CALL -- What type of heat does your house have? What are you doing to save energy (& reduce costs) this winter? *\\*\\*\\*\\* (nt) - Denise1066 3 months ago (2)

Denise w/4 still at home. We have electric heat ($422 bill for ONE month) and a wood stove. I thought we were saving energy by having the thermostat at 65 & using the woodstove whenever we can get free wood. Seems our house has NO insulation. Since we rent, we will be looking for a new place to live as soon as we get our tax refund (m) - Denise1066 3 months ago

Hi, you are in an ugly spot with the ex and the kids, without knowing your exact details I would suggest (m) - Christine 2 weeks ago

Maybe find out what their favorite foods and try and have some of them when their at your house. Anything else major you need to let dh take care of. Its kind of like dealing with a MIL. If you get in the middle it will only be trouble so he needs to deal with his ex and any problems the kids may be causing you. (nt) - JulieMH 2 weeks ago

Try to get a routine to make life at home easier. You and dh need to talk about how he wants to handle the kids. Let them be hungry, make them et, always offer cereal or obj. You kind of have to leave it in his court. The fact she's being immature needs to go in the " the world is full of nuts" category. Sorry it's so hard. (nt) - joyofsix 2 weeks ago
