A Bit of Background
Hi all,
I am the primary caretaker (mom) to a household of 9. I have 4 kids ages 9 to 2, my husband, my sister (age 25) and her 2 kids ages 6 and 2, plus she has one on the way due in February.
I found this website just searching on the web for a place I can talk to other people who maybe have similar experiences and sympathy. My RL friends get tired of listening sometimes.
I am mostly a SAHM. I do work about 10 hours a week as a bookkeeper for my church. I homeschool my 9 and 7 year old, together with another mom at my church who has a 9 and 6 year old.
I was interested in this forum because I would definitely call myself a frugal person. My family doesn't have much money and it is constantly a balancing act to try and get the bills paid and many things have to be sacrificed to keep the kids in shoes and pay the medical bills.
Hope to hear from you all soon!!
