If everything were 5 minutes away, it would be fine. We have to drive 2-3 miles and it often takes 30+ minutes smack in the middle of dinner time.

Now my kids have camps and my toddler naps when they need to get picked up. I’m sure my toddler will survive getting her nap cut short.

I don’t mean to come off like I’m complaining. I also complain about traffic, heat, etc. I’m not trying to one up anyone about the number of kids and activities. I’m sure I would complain if I had one kid and had to drive in rush hour to sports too.

Full time help and being a SAHM?! Smh.

She has 3 kids... you cannot expect her to do it alone. She probably also has a housekeeper and yard service. Between mom, dad, and nanny you'd think they could figure it out. And, she probably has poor toddler in no activities so how hard can it be.

Don’t be bitter ladies. You should have chosen husbands who make more money.

I was at a picnic and a woman was holding a baby. She asked me if I could hold the baby, she had to leave.

So I stood there with a baby for about 15 minutes when a woman (who has 8 kids) said, “do I know you”?

I was like I don’t think so and introduced myself.

She said “are you holding my baby” and I thought I don’t know but you better know if this is your child.

Oh yea, “Mary has to go”... and she took the baby.

Complainers are just weak willed people whose lives are a perpetual hot mess.

+1. The complaining is so boring.

We have plenty of money, I just don’t understand how a SAHM could possibly need full time help....unless the Mom is completely helpless. Maybe the husbands should have chosen more capable wives?

Either manage it or don't but stop complaining about your choices. You knew what the repercussions would be." When someone says "oh my gosh it's so hot out" is your response "either managing living in a hot city or don't but stop complaining about your own choices."

Yes, I do. I do not give a damn if you're sleep deprived because every person who has ever had a baby has been sleep deprived. Also, not a single member of your family owes you free child care, house cleaning, or cooking your bloody meals. As for hot summers, absolutely every building is air conditioned. Turn on yours!

I don’t understand people who hire lawn services. Or use Shipt. Or who use full-service gas stations. Why aren’t people more capable?

Seriously. If you can afford it, why not? Stop being jealous and bitter.

People are missing the point of the original post. The idea is that if you can’t manage the logistics of three children and if that affects the well-being of the kids, then don’t have so many. It’s not like you didn’t have a choice.

Not the same as complaining about heat, sleep deprivation, etc. I get it.

Meh. We are working to pay your social security and taxes that support educating your brood and "retirement" that you will leech off us.

This is someone who is obviously very insecure about her choices. The fact is, you are not paying for anyone else’s Social Security – everyone that works pays for their own Social Security as a payroll tax, and the amount you receive upon retirement depends entirely on the amount you pay in. So someone who stays home and does not pay Social Security taxes will receive less than you upon retirement. Obviously whatever job you have doesn’t require much of an intellect.

If you don’t want to help someone else, use your big girl words and say “That doesn’t work for me.” If you’re having a conversation and someone else is complaining too much, end the conversation “It’s been nice catching up, but I need to get going now” then leave.

It really is that simple. Time to be an adult. If you don’t like the choices you’re making about YOUR life, make different ones. Nobody is forcing you to babysit someone else’s kid or listen to them complain. You’re choosing that. Own your choices.

Lol. You’re the person with a brood that whines.
Sorry sometimes you can’t get away from it. My brother and SIL have 5 kids (by choice) and whine incessantly about not being able to afford a house, newish cars, vacations that don’t involve sleeping on a cousins floor.
The icing on the cake is how they complain that people that post on FB about vacations and fun birthday parties are deemed "trying to shame them".

Read the bolded and stop obsessing about your brother.

Really. Time to grow up.

Not only that, but property taxes pay for schools and education. Are you also this irrationally angry at apartment dwellers who send their children to school?

The only thing worse than people who complain and whine is people who whine and complain about people who complain and whine.

I remember when I was a FTM how much time went into planning a day out anywhere. Sometimes I didn’t bother going out because it was too much trouble. You should examine why you despise parents (or is it only mothers?) of multiples so much. All she did was ask for advice, so your vitriol is very odd.

And if you dared to complain DCUM would jump on you as you have only only ONE Kid. No winning either way!

NP and your lack of empathy makes me think you're the same troll who is always berating new moms for having the audacity to ask for support. I actually think it's really helpful to know when a friend or colleague isn't sleeping well because I've been there and I know how hard it is. After reading your grumpy post, I'm especially grateful that I work with people who support each other!
