[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] An old middle school friend (we're not longer in touch but I follow her on Facebook) has 5 kids, and her husband is often deployed for many months at a time. Everyone I know is overwhelmed with their 1-2 children. I honestly can't imagine how she takes care of 5 kids on her own. Three of the kids are under 5. Is she super organzied? Does anyone know anyone like this? How do you do it?? Kudos to you[/quote] She is organized, kids are not entitled brats, she knows that complaining does no good and does what needs to be done. I know this because my mother was a military wife with five children. No brats. No picky eaters. We all had assigned chores that changed every month. Boys did kitchen duty and girls did yard work. We also knew that complaining was wasted energy. By the time we were ten we could do our own laundry.[/quote]
