Greetings all,
Father of 7 and, after reading some of your stories, thought this was a place I might be able to vent. Kids ages are 20(stepdaughter that I've known for 16 wounderful years), 13, 12(boy), 10, 9, 7, 4. I have the pleasure of doing all the cooking because I enjoy it. Wife hates it.
Worked nightshift for along time and was layed off 4 mounts ago. Gained 30 pounds and fell like I have to watch Mr.MOM to get out of this funk.
Hope you guys can help!
AHD with 7
Wouldn't that be six then?
Unless the 20 year old is living at home too. Damn dude, my hat goes off to you. Welcome.

welcome
Welcome to the site, Bellyman. 7 kids -- I can't imagine. I've got two (nearly 6 year old boy, nearly 9 month old girl) and I feel like that's just enough. You'll definitely find lots of great advice and places to vent about all sorts of things here.
Welcome
I only have one and she runs me ragged. :-)
It helps if you don't refer to yourself as Mr. Mom. You will get plenty of that from strangers.
Sorry about the layoff. Being the "at homer" is a tad harder when it is thust upon an indavidual rather than of their chosing. You'll make it!
Be Seeing You.

Either way 6 at home or 7, Damn dude.
Welcome Dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad
I bet that is what you hear all day? 7 ? OMG. Are you planing on more? I think after 3 you're up for sainthood but after seven you get the deluxe accommodations in heaven and a free set of steak knives.

No you can't ride the dog is my newest thing I say to KGA.
JPhillip said it, therefor it is, Chef= C=Caring, H=Helpful, E=Excellent, F=Fubar.
Thank you all, but I am no
Thank you all, but I am no saint. This isn't new to me because I have been taking care of them during the day when the wife was working. Now she is working and going to school and that will end soon.
7 is the number even if she was at school (and she was) but does live with us now. Doesn't matter what age or were they live, they still are your kids and I care who she is dating.
Most of you will find out who they date is and can be a big issue. I sometimes call them a virus that has to run it's course. I just think she deserves better.
Come in, shake my hand, say hello, don't drop her off and not wait till she's in the door. I intimedated him? Grow some balls!
Mirë se erdhët
Albanian for Welcome incase you gents are wondering.

To exit da' Funk, join Weight Watchers, join a health club, go for a walk, just do it before you won't or can't!

Took me 10 years of laziness
To put on 40 lbs, and 6 months to take it off. You can do it.

Speaking of dating...
I've got a ways to go, as my daughter is 6 months old, but I've had my shtick rehearsed for years. Just casually mention the pickax, shovel, and 5-gallon bucket of muriatic acid on the back porch, and point out how nice the large backyard is; lots of places to dig right near the lake. Then affirm that she'll be back by 10, right?
