The key point here is that you "decided" to start a family (and not getting surprised by a pregnancy) after careful thought and mature decisions about your living situation, ability to support yourselves and readiness. Kudos to you when you were a young couple and congratulations for the success of your ensuing life. Thanks for sharing.
You may have been young, but you guys were responsible about your decisions. Some people who are much older, don't have their lives as together as you two did.
Thank you. ❤️ I do believe everybody is on such a different journey and there are so many more factors that come into play than just age! We are so glad we started a family when we did. Wouldn’t change it for the world. ❤️
This made me realize by the time you were my age you were handling 3 kiddos and I basically struggle to keep a cactus alive. I adore that you seem to have had the option and opportunity to manage everything financially in a way that money didn't limit your plans.
I love this family. They seem so geniunely happy and content together. Yeah, it could be due to editing, but if you look at how the children interact with each other with so much love and care, i think it speaks for itself!
When you're financially, mentally and emotionally stable, Age doesnt matter much about having a baby. If I was in a position to have kids now with my boyfriend (we're 20) I would be very tempted. You've clearly raised Evan very well, theres nothing wrong with choosing to have children young
We all got married young in my day. My sister was 17 and I was 19. Babies came along quickly. No one lived together before marriage then, and pregnancies weren't planned. We had some inadequate birth control, but just accepted whatever pregnancies came along, and many couples had vasectomies when they were done. I don't find your story strange at all. Most kids met in High school, and got married right out of high school. I still like the idea of growing with your partner, and learning together. Didn't always work out, but glad your choices have worked for you.
I have been following you for many years and just saw this video….follow your ❤ Chloe and Rowe have created such a beautiful family! Don’t stop whatever you’re doing! Perfect family! ❤❤❤❤
Your story is just too particular! I mean, you obviously were ready to become a mother and, as you said, you had enough money and a stable place to be in! I feel like this teen pregnancy is so different from any other because normally teens get pregnant by accident, it's so uncommon finding teens with wanted pregnancies. I totally think that you made a great decision, as you both followed your hearts and worked hard to be able to support yourselves and your family! Thank you for sharing your life with us Chloe, you're amazing 💖
I had my first at 19 and he was planned and I was married and more than ready. You’re a fantastic mom, so good to see you not letting others beliefs create doubt in you. You go girl!
Thanks for sharing your personal story. It’s amazing how you and Rho found each other so young! People go through their whole life hoping to find that special person.
I was married and pregnant with my first at 19 and thought nothing of it. Now my oldest is 16 and I am 36 and my youngest is 6. Honestly I loved both of my pregnancies at 19 and 21 was way easier than my pregnancy at 30. We also homeschool and I think sometimes it is hard for people to think you can be mature enough for children or marriage, but sometimes you just know. Prayers for a great healthy pregnancy with the twins. ❤❤❤
I was not aware of the quantity of hate people can display towards others that think or do different than what they think is best.. I watched your channel on and off for a few years now. And I accidentally saw some yt posts “against” your “ways”. I want to say you 2 are great parents, the children look halthy, especially emotionally, you do a great job. You motivate me to be a calmer mom and to enjoy my kids enthousiasm. There are things that i ses diferently than you, but, I find that you have a lot to offer and I have things to learn from you. So you are very appreciated in my heart! God bless you all ❤️
Yeeeeesss! I've been waiting for this video series! Thank you so much for sharing this side of you with us! I appreciate the time effort and thought it takes. ❤️😊
Even is definitely your twin, that was a nice story, although 18 is a early age, I like that you guys made some pretty mature choices and it all worked out and everything fell into place perfectly. Waiting to make sure y'all had a place to live and that y'all were financially stable and ready to become parents those were some awesome goals.
I Thank its a beautiful choice to be young parents! When you’re younger you have more energy having kids! Love it to follow you and see you’re doing great. I was mother at 31 and 34. We have 2 boys, 11 and 14 now! Isn’t it a beautiful gift from God to have children? Bless you and you’re family and love it to follow you’re life!
It’s Your life and your decision Chloe, you have done the right thing.....I had my twins when I was 16, I’m still with my husband and 6 kids later... it works!
I am a Mom of six in Ohio, USA, and I am so impressed with your family, your communication with your kids and the loving spirit in your home!! Good for you!! 👏🏻💞👆🏻
Lover the video, can’t wait for the second one from the series! Chloe you should really consider making a podcast. With your extremely broad knowledge about kids and such a calm and comforting voice it would totally be a hit.
Chloe what a beautiful story & an amazing life you & Ro have created for yourselves. You're children are so lucky to have you, you're smart, responsible & exceptional parents. Idt you have to think twice about your ages when you started your lives together, as they say, the proofs in the pudding. Continue the course, well done! ❤️❤️
It's not about age, ..... often we can cope much better being younger & focussed,.... children deserve out full attention and not just fitting them in somewhere between other stuff. It was your no.1 plan and desire & you prepared yourselves for it. Well done. & You are both wonderful parents.
I love the fact that you two made appropriate plans to have a family. There are advantages to being young parents and your children are very well loved and taken care of that is what matters! I was almost 32 when I had my first child and 36 when I had my second. It all depends on the individuals involved as to when they have children. The best thing that I did was become a Mom!
💖 Love This 💖 thank you for sharing. I too am excited for the coming videos sharing details of each pregnancy and birth 🤗 Been following along for years and am honestly so inspired by you and all your family. It's awesome that you married your best friend and are still friends, there truly are not so many people who can say that, honestly. I am almost 42, been married for 9 years to a man I met 10.5 years ago, we have 3 kids and have never been financially stable (it's a sore point) although we were able to purchase our own home 3.5 years ago. We were not real friends when we met and after trying to raise little ones with no family around to support us we certainly are not friends now 😕 You guys 😍 you are incredible x
18 is legally an adult in many countries, but 18 year olds are usually perceived more as teens than grown up, mostly cause they are usually still in high school and many live at home/ have parents help them financially
Claudia Marquez Right. To me, a teen pregnancy refers more to those still dependent on parents or still in school. There are connotations involving accidental pregnancy and parents who are not financially able to care for the child without their parents.
I completely agree - age is not as important as actually having the means and stability to have a child. I've really wanted to be a mum since I was about 16. I have set myself goals to be able to do that. Now I'm 25, I'm getting pretty close to achieving them, so hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to start a family too
I just wanted to start off by saying I love love this channel! I have always had so many questions, and this video and your names video answered so many! I adore your family so much! I too want a bunch of babies. I was pregnant with my first in May, at 20, but it was a miscarriage due to low progesterone. Hoping to be blessed with my second pregnancy soon! I would really like to know if you guys want any more children or if you feel like your family is complete... why or why not..
Wow you brought a house at 18 in Australia?! That’s epic! I hear a few American teens talking about owning a house but they’re usually so much cheaper over there. Could you do a story about this?
I’m more curious to hear about these so called Cheap houses in America? Yah I’ve heard about places in SCARY places such as Detroit Michigan, but overall I’m interested in knowing where these cheap homes are? Being a home owner of my own home & a rental, that blew my mind!
@@dandeehart9553 Compared to the rest of the world, they’re cheap. Unless you live in New York or LA. Typically the south is VERY cheap, like 50,000 for a starter home? That would be 120,000 in central Canada.
Wow! That's so interesting! I'm 19 and there is no way I would plan to become a mother right now!!! But I guess people feel ready to do different things at different ages! Loved to watch this video and listen to your story! 💕
I didn’t know you were 22 gosh BUT it’s not that you look older than your age. you are so much more mature than the people in this age group. Not everyone can handle this much responsibility this young and still have equal maturity as fellow 30-40 year old mothers. Kudos to you!
My Mum met my Dad at 17 (they're 12 years apart), moved in with him and got pregnant with my brother at 18, had my brother at 19, had me at 21, got married at 22 and then they seperated when my Mum was 25 (they finally got divorced in 2016😁). She's very protective of us and only started leaving us at home during the day without her when I was about 14 or 15, my brother being about 17. Because she had us so young, it meant that by the time we were old enough for her to be okay with leaving us at home alone, she was still in her mid 30s, and was able to go out with her friends and find new hobbies. She's able to rely on us now too. She's able to be our friend, as well as our Mum☺️
When I first started watching them, I was shocked at how young they were when they married and started a family, especially Chloe. But that's really because that's so different from where my head was at at that age. But like she said, it's not like they got "knocked up" and were living at home with no jobs. Not a lot of "teen parents" are in such a stable place when they get pregnant. I don't think of Chloe as a teen parent.
I'm always surprised when people freak out about small age differences as teenagers. I mean, 14 year olds to go school with 17 year olds. Not a ton of class overlap, perhaps, but they are usually in high school together. My first boyfriend was 18-19 when I was 15 and it really wasn't weird at all.
I’m 18 and I really really want to have a big family (8 kids!) someday but it’s crazy that you were mature enough to actually have a planned pregnancy at 18 years old. I think I’ll need longer than normal to feel like an actual adult though, I can’t even imagine having a baby now hahah but it’s interesting how people are so different to each other
Hi, I just watched your video of Evans birth. I really hope you find the time to make videos for your other children & the expectant Twins! Congratulations!
Will all of this being said you're an amazing mom and people always say to trust your gut and you knew that you were going to be a good mom so you wanted to start having your children early while you were young and capable
Thank you for the video Chloe, very interesting. Just wondering what both your parents and other family members thought about your decision to start a family at a young age. Were any of them against it and then came around to the idea later?
You guys seem like great parents and have beautiful children! I wish I would have lived my early adulthood more intuitively and not just done what I thought I was supposed to do (get into student debt to "figure out what I wanted to do with my life"). You guys have a beautiful life!
You are very smart and very blessed. If I had the opportunity to fall in love with my husband back when we were in high school, I too would have preferred to have kids young. I’m 27 now, have been in my career for about 8-9 years, first management position, and now my husband and I have decided to have children - which is my dream :) but like you said, it does mean putting an awkward hold on my career for an indefinite time. I only had the bliss of meeting my husband 2 years ago, so no regrets about waiting due to having him in my life now.
That sounds like a terrifying first birth, the placenta part, you are brave for having 9 more but you and Ro have a beautiful family. All the kids seem to really get along and enjoy their siblings company.
Were the triplets and the twins conceived naturally? Or did you go through an IVF? Also if you can share more about your approach with girls vs boys toys and clothes, I’m very curious as well!
I was married at 18. Pregnant at 18 and gave birth at 19. While my pregnancy wasn't planned per say, we weren't preventing either. It's been 8 years since we got married. We have 2 more kids now and are planning to add another. And I tell my husband all the time I wish I would've met him sooner and our life together could've started sooner.
I didn't have my first baby until my 29th birthday. I wish I could have been a young mom and I hope my girls can be ready younger. Age doesn't make a person ready as much as maturity, which you obviously are. I'm always so impressed with you and your husbands' gentle parenting.
Wow look how young y'all were. An tiny little baby Evan. Who has grown leaps an bounds 12 yrs old now.... ❤🎉😂 I have greatly loved watching all ur children grow an learn because now y'all have 10 babies. Heeheehee ❤
@@toni5543 it's not supposed to be tugged out at all. But to come out by contractions. If that's not working, you will get a shot of oxytocine. If that's not working, they will get it out in the OR. tugging is what causes massive bleeding.
@@Angela-lo5bw I shouldn't have used the word tugged, as it does have more hardcore connotations which absolutley can result in massive bleeding! I guess generally the placenta detatches inside by contractions and the doc/midwife gently guides it out by holding the cord? I've not had any kids yet so this is all just based on my independent research! Also thank you so much for your correction- I'd hate to put out misleading information, I will take more care in the language I use 🤗
Chloe & beans ; as long as your in a committed relationship & can afford it, then it's up to you & your partner & no one else's buisness how old u are or how many children u want. Just be safe healthy & happy. PS I'm told that home schooling is really difficult. Age is just a number.
Girl, I was 15 when I decided to have a baby, it took me 12 months but got pregnant at 16 with my eldest daughter, 6 months later at 17, I got pregnant with second daughter who was NOT planned, 7 months later I got pregnant but had a super early miscarriage and then 2 months later (so 9 months after my second baby) I got pregnant with my third baby, my son at 19 who was also planned! I’m now 20 and I have 3 beautiful children, my own home and financially comfortable and YES I am still with the baby’s daddy.
I’m 15 and want a baby but I won’t actually do it as I’m not financially stable, I still live with my parents and I’m not in a relationship. Honestly my baby fever is so high, but luckily my sister (who’s 34) has a baby so I can, in a way, get a “supplement” for that need. I love him like my own and would do anything for him. I think I’ll have kids in my early twenties, depending on where I am in life. I still want kids young, but I can wait at least 5 years.
I couldn't afford own apartment after 10 yrs of working after university, only bought one after my father died, sadly. I'm 35 and my kid is almost 4. I had him when I was 31, the first one among my female friends. Most of them still doesn't have children even if married and having own apartment for years. Life is too fun for them as it is. But some haven't met the right person yet, at the age 40, 45. When I was in my 20's I wanted kids but was looking for someone who wanted family for 10 yrs. Ten we split up just after birth. It's so great there are young families out there. Younger people have more energy to raise kids and still plenty of time for career. I feel like I won't have another relationship or career anymore, having to take care of special needs child by myself, no family or close friends.
We also started trying, I think we were 18 and 20. Took a long time though, we were 20 and 22 when we conceived. My husband missed being a teen parent by one month haha.
I planned by second baby at 18 after losing my first baby full term at 17 (not planned) and then planned baby 3 at 20 and number 4 at 24. Now 27, sill with their dad (who is a fully qualified chef) and no more babies for us ❤️
27 years old and 8 children. My dream was to have 6 children but the story went different. I love your family and You are a very mature and intelligent couple. Wish all all alll the best for you ten (or more in the future).
My sister was 19 when she started dating a 28 year old and I was 20 and dating a 29 year old. Both of us are now married to these people with kids. If you think 3 years is a big deal it speaks more about you as a person than anything else
Kimberley Flanigan not supporting statutory rape says something about ME as a person?? i literally said age doesn’t matter if both are mature adults so i don’t know what you’re @ing me about getting all offended when i was talking about how their relationship started out, not yours
I think after watching you and your beautiful family you have both so much love and wisdom to share. Kudos to you both your children are a credit to you both in nature and temperament. They are incredibly well behaved and I cannot get over their meals, I don’t believe I have heard one of them complain about the meal and I don’t mean the vegan diet, I mean they eat everything... I have 8 grandchildren and not 1 of them will finish a meal or rarely will they ask for more. What ever you are doing keep doing it and think about writing a book because it sure is working. I have to say the colours all the children have is such a good idea I had 3 babies I wish I had know about colours so many arguments would have been spared, that in itself teaches them to respect other people’s property. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas 2019.
18 you can vote, drive and drink. yet people look down at the idea of married with kids.... even though our grandparents were 17/18 and married with a kid or two HAHA. you do you, and you obviously did/are doing a great job
The key point here is that you "decided" to start a family (and not getting surprised by a pregnancy) after careful thought and mature decisions about your living situation, ability to support yourselves and readiness.

In fact, age is just a number. Hate when people judge by those. Great comment
She had no job, she couldn't drive, and she lived at home XD
@@indy2316 are you dumb she did have all of those
@@hellsmuller Nope 14 is still considered a Child, he couldve been charged and what he did is considered grooming.
You two were far more responsible as young parents than a lot of older ones I know. Keep living your truth and proving them wrong!
This made me realize by the time you were my age you were handling 3 kiddos and I basically struggle to keep a cactus alive. I adore that you seem to have had the option and opportunity to manage everything financially in a way that money didn't limit your plans.
Three years after making this video, she is the same age as me and pregnant with her 10th baby and here I am barely able to keep MYSELF alive!

My Mum met my Dad at 17 (they're 12 years apart), moved in with him and got pregnant with my brother at 18, had my brother at 19, had me at 21, got married at 22 and then they seperated when my Mum was 25 (they finally got divorced in 2016😁). She's very protective of us and only started leaving us at home during the day without her when I was about 14 or 15, my brother being about 17. Because she had us so young, it meant that by the time we were old enough for her to be okay with leaving us at home alone, she was still in her mid 30s, and was able to go out with her friends and find new hobbies. She's able to rely on us now too. She's able to be our friend, as well as our Mum☺️
When I first started watching them, I was shocked at how young they were when they married and started a family, especially Chloe. But that's really because that's so different from where my head was at at that age. But like she said, it's not like they got "knocked up" and were living at home with no jobs. Not a lot of "teen parents" are in such a stable place when they get pregnant. I don't think of Chloe as a teen parent.
I'm always surprised when people freak out about small age differences as teenagers. I mean, 14 year olds to go school with 17 year olds. Not a ton of class overlap, perhaps, but they are usually in high school together. My first boyfriend was 18-19 when I was 15 and it really wasn't weird at all.
I’m 18 and I really really want to have a big family (8 kids!) someday but it’s crazy that you were mature enough to actually have a planned pregnancy at 18 years old. I think I’ll need longer than normal to feel like an actual adult though, I can’t even imagine having a baby now hahah but it’s interesting how people are so different to each other
Hi, I just watched your video of Evans birth. I really hope you find the time to make videos for your other children & the expectant Twins! Congratulations!
Will all of this being said you're an amazing mom and people always say to trust your gut and you knew that you were going to be a good mom so you wanted to start having your children early while you were young and capable
You guys are such an amazing family and such an inspiration
If you are mature,financially stable and are in a committed relationship it doesn’t really matter what age you want to have kids.
Thank you for the video Chloe, very interesting. Just wondering what both your parents and other family members thought about your decision to start a family at a young age. Were any of them against it and then came around to the idea later?
No, they were all supportive 😊
You guys seem like great parents and have beautiful children! I wish I would have lived my early adulthood more intuitively and not just done what I thought I was supposed to do (get into student debt to "figure out what I wanted to do with my life"). You guys have a beautiful life!
Exactly!
You two are seriously amazing. I’m curious- did you go to school as a 17-18 year old?
You are very smart and very blessed. If I had the opportunity to fall in love with my husband back when we were in high school, I too would have preferred to have kids young. I’m 27 now, have been in my career for about 8-9 years, first management position, and now my husband and I have decided to have children - which is my dream :) but like you said, it does mean putting an awkward hold on my career for an indefinite time. I only had the bliss of meeting my husband 2 years ago, so no regrets about waiting due to having him in my life now.
That sounds like a terrifying first birth, the placenta part, you are brave for having 9 more but you and Ro have a beautiful family. All the kids seem to really get along and enjoy their siblings company.
Could you do another six kids Q&A🙌🏼 it would be cool to see how they have changed🤗
Hi! Will you be making the story about Otto sometime? :)
Were the triplets and the twins conceived naturally? Or did you go through an IVF? Also if you can share more about your approach with girls vs boys toys and clothes, I’m very curious as well!
I wish I could be such an amazing mom like you someday. Love all of you and wait for more on this channel
I don't think there's anything wrong with following your heart.
Chloe you should tell your birth stories on the Australian Birth Stories podcast 🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing. I love how different and wonderful life can be for people.
This is the most rambly video in the world and I LOVE IT xx
I don’t know why, but I’ve just ended here hahaha You look like Cassie from skins, so stunning ☺️
On your 10 at the moment I love all your kiddos
I was married at 18. Pregnant at 18 and gave birth at 19. While my pregnancy wasn't planned per say, we weren't preventing either. It's been 8 years since we got married. We have 2 more kids now and are planning to add another. And I tell my husband all the time I wish I would've met him sooner and our life together could've started sooner.
I love that Felix is a red head 'Ranga' and he has an Orangutan bedspread and toy.
I didn't have my first baby until my 29th birthday. I wish I could have been a young mom and I hope my girls can be ready younger. Age doesn't make a person ready as much as maturity, which you obviously are. I'm always so impressed with you and your husbands' gentle parenting.
Wow look how young y'all were. An tiny little baby Evan. Who has grown leaps an bounds 12 yrs old now.... ❤🎉😂 I have greatly loved watching all ur children grow an learn because now y'all have 10 babies. Heeheehee ❤
I had my first baby at just on 18.Hsppiest time.Never regretted it.Been married for 51 years. No way is right for everyone.
Thanks for telling your story, I really enjoyed it.
I like how you just casually said they reached their entire hand inside to take your placenta out 😱
... she had just had an entire baby go through there
@@kateg9437 That doesnt mean that it's normal to get in there with a hand, and get out the placenta like that. That's not normal.
@@Angela-lo5bw yeah to my knowledge it's usually tugged out by the cord
@@toni5543 it's not supposed to be tugged out at all. But to come out by contractions. If that's not working, you will get a shot of oxytocine. If that's not working, they will get it out in the OR. tugging is what causes massive bleeding.
@@Angela-lo5bw I shouldn't have used the word tugged, as it does have more hardcore connotations which absolutley can result in massive bleeding! I guess generally the placenta detatches inside by contractions and the doc/midwife gently guides it out by holding the cord? I've not had any kids yet so this is all just based on my independent research!
Also thank you so much for your correction- I'd hate to put out misleading information, I will take more care in the language I use 🤗
Hey omg I had the same hemmorhage after lost Just a little more blood than yours! It was rough
Chloe & beans ; as long as your in a committed relationship & can afford it, then it's up to you & your partner & no one else's buisness how old u are or how many children u want. Just be safe healthy & happy.
PS I'm told that home schooling is really difficult.
Age is just a number.
Girl, I was 15 when I decided to have a baby, it took me 12 months but got pregnant at 16 with my eldest daughter, 6 months later at 17, I got pregnant with second daughter who was NOT planned, 7 months later I got pregnant but had a super early miscarriage and then 2 months later (so 9 months after my second baby) I got pregnant with my third baby, my son at 19 who was also planned! I’m now 20 and I have 3 beautiful children, my own home and financially comfortable and YES I am still with the baby’s daddy.
I’m 15 and want a baby but I won’t actually do it as I’m not financially stable, I still live with my parents and I’m not in a relationship. Honestly my baby fever is so high, but luckily my sister (who’s 34) has a baby so I can, in a way, get a “supplement” for that need. I love him like my own and would do anything for him. I think I’ll have kids in my early twenties, depending on where I am in life. I still want kids young, but I can wait at least 5 years.
I didn't know Felix was a home birth.
I knew he was SPECIAL!
I love this type of videos :)
i dont know why i never know you guys are married😭
I couldn't afford own apartment after 10 yrs of working after university, only bought one after my father died, sadly. I'm 35 and my kid is almost 4. I had him when I was 31, the first one among my female friends. Most of them still doesn't have children even if married and having own apartment for years. Life is too fun for them as it is. But some haven't met the right person yet, at the age 40, 45.
When I was in my 20's I wanted kids but was looking for someone who wanted family for 10 yrs. Ten we split up just after birth. It's so great there are young families out there. Younger people have more energy to raise kids and still plenty of time for career. I feel like I won't have another relationship or career anymore, having to take care of special needs child by myself, no family or close friends.
We also started trying, I think we were 18 and 20. Took a long time though, we were 20 and 22 when we conceived. My husband missed being a teen parent by one month haha.
congratulations!!!!!
You seem like you were really mature at a really young age!
how did you afford a home at 18? did you get money from parents?
I planned by second baby at 18 after losing my first baby full term at 17 (not planned) and then planned baby 3 at 20 and number 4 at 24. Now 27, sill with their dad (who is a fully qualified chef) and no more babies for us ❤️
27 years old and 8 children. My dream was to have 6 children but the story went different.
I love your family and You are a very mature and intelligent couple. Wish all all alll the best for you ten (or more in the future).
3 years age gap is nothing! My husband and I have a nine year age gap and honestly age is just a number and means nothing.
I agree it’s not a big age gap - I more meant for our ages at the time (14 & 17) but yes age is just a number ❤️
Well at some point age does matter, haha
sure age doesn’t matter if both are mature adults but as teenagers it matters a great deal and a 17 year old dating a 14 year old IS inappropriate
My sister was 19 when she started dating a 28 year old and I was 20 and dating a 29 year old. Both of us are now married to these people with kids. If you think 3 years is a big deal it speaks more about you as a person than anything else
Kimberley Flanigan not supporting statutory rape says something about ME as a person?? i literally said age doesn’t matter if both are mature adults so i don’t know what you’re @ing me about getting all offended when i was talking about how their relationship started out, not yours
What made you decide to home-school?
I still don't feel like an adult...31🤣
I love Evan he is such a lovely boy. Greetings from the NT
I think after watching you and your beautiful family you have both so much love and wisdom to share. Kudos to you both your children are a credit to you both in nature and temperament. They are incredibly well behaved and I cannot get over their meals, I don’t believe I have heard one of them complain about the meal and I don’t mean the vegan diet, I mean they eat everything... I have 8 grandchildren and not 1 of them will finish a meal or rarely will they ask for more. What ever you are doing keep doing it and think about writing a book because it sure is working. I have to say the colours all the children have is such a good idea I had 3 babies I wish I had know about colours so many arguments would have been spared, that in itself teaches them to respect other people’s property. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas 2019.
18 you can vote, drive and drink. yet people look down at the idea of married with kids.... even though our grandparents were 17/18 and married with a kid or two HAHA. you do you, and you obviously did/are doing a great job
