    Zoey you are amazing, my father in law once said to me children will not remember what you buy them but they will remember how you loved them. And you and Ben are the most loving parents. Even with Joseph behavior you are so loving towards it. What gets done gets done don't put a lot of pressure on yourself. My prayers for you is that you and Ben find a wonderful home that fits your family.

    Hi Zoe you need a dehumidifier on to keep the mould at bay especially at this time of year.. We do & what a difference it makes also helps with drying the washing which is a bonus too.. x

    You are doing a remarkable job! Try not to be so hard on yourself! I want to just thank you for bringing attention to anxiety and depression because it is prevalent in our society. I have an autistic son and suffer from OCD Depression and anxiety, and I can totally relate to your day-to-day challenges, but I have to say you are a remarkable strong woman and you literally have the energy of 5 momma's! You are a beautiful soul, and I am so glad to have found your channel. Much love from Tennessee dear heart! Blessings and light. xoxoxo

    Your first base should be the school (ive been there !) You need the school on ur side as they are the ones who can get serious help for your family and of course ur son. Its your gateway for help. Eventually, if needs be, a diagnosis which in turn will also mean more help. You are not on ur own with this. lts a journey thousands of us go through every year. Just remember this, you have done nothing wrong and help is there babe xx

    You get more done by 9 am than most of us do all day! When you talk about deep cleaning- I thought I can’t imagine that there is a speck of dirt anywhere in your house!! You are so clean and organized. I really enjoyed this video Zoe. You really are a wonderful, amazing woman!!! 💖

    You have a remarkable sense of how to get things done, or, partially done and returned to to get finished. Very organized, and inspiring. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed, to get “paralyzed” with what needs to be done, and you see how to break it down, find success in it.

    A few yrs ago i watched a video by a very big family in the US. And i swear if i had a big family i would copy her, she designated a spare room just for clothes. No clothes in the bedrooms etc, all went in that one room, even the dirty laundry. No more struggling to put things away etc x

      Yes and they were also part of an abusive religious organization. Thier homeschool was the iblp, a group that encourages physical punishment if small children. Not to mention the fathers sexual abuse scandal. But ya know the important thing is thier laundry was on point. Thank the stars the Sullivan's are a real family. I love that. America could use some real families like this instead.

    I know of some families with autistic children and they all follow a diet of no sugar and no dyes in foods. it might benefit your whole family to try this diet for everyone plus then Joseph will not feel singled out. Try talking to your older children about this first and get them on board to help with the younger children to follow this. Not sure about the schools there but here in the U.S. they force medications. The families that I mentioned above their children are not on medications and just follow the diet and things go very well for them. Wish I could email you more information and encouragement. Bless you dear ones and use wisdom in decisions.

    I can completely relate to everything you’ve said as a large family mum. It’s a lot with just about everything going on at the mo. I have number 7 on the way and sometimes wish I could have a couple of glasses of wine! 😅 I hope you prioritise some time to yourself… my favourite double was the Joovy becase it was really hard wearing, built like a single with a chair built in the back for big kids. It was a life saver but I don’t think they are too common. Lots of people used to ask me about it out and about. You guys are great parents and I’m crossing my fingers you move soon as that will be a stress off for you 💕

    Hi Zoe another great vlog about a day in the life /The Sullivan family I feel sometimes you are too hard on yourself we are all behind you I don’t how you do it getting up at 4.30 in the morning I couldn’t do it that early your anxiety and stress levels must be through the roof sometimes especially if Joseph isn’t having a great day have you mentioned to your health visitor about him not wanting to walk and does he ever complain of his legs being sore even in bed as he may have hypertonia which is very painful my grandson’ had that all over his body occupational therapist worked on his torso to build up his upper body he didn’t complain of pain but if you let his hand go he would run away she said that was also a sign but if Joseph is having pain that maybe why he doesn’t walk my youngest daughter refused to walk and wanted carried when she was a toddler but it turned out she had hip dysplasia in both hips which no one picked up on she’s been through all the surgery up in traction for 3 weeks first operation failed had to break her femur bones in both legs even the pins and screws became imbedded she’s 28 now and has arthritis in her hips and is waiting now on hip replacements my eldest son who is on the spectrum is really funny about clothing I can buy him new clothes but he wears the same things he still lines things up like his shoes hates loud noises so doesn’t really like going to things like family events he takes everything literally it was harder as a child but it’s a bit easier as an adult but I wouldn’t change him for the world but please don’t be so hard on your self and if you think Joseph is not ready to go to school then delay him also in case you don’t know you can find about applying for Dla without a diagnosis I don’t if that something you want to do or has been mentioned to you by the health visitor as Joseph needs more help than a normal 4 year old child I know all about the meltdowns as I have mentioned about my grandson who has a chromosome 15 duplication which affects him in different areas Autistic traits Adhd traits severe learning difficulties speech and language developmental delay but I hope you have a great weekend xxx

    Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi Zoe , Well I for one really enjoyed this video and I think your a Fabulous Mum , my god , your rushed off your feet and suffering with your mental health, bless you , I know how bad mental health can be I'm 57 and I've suffered with Anxiety and depression all my life , I'd just about learned to keep it in the back ground, till my lovely mum passed four years ago , since then I've really been suffering , so how you cope with yourself and looking after the kids I don't know , but I will say this , I think if you have family it gives you something to get up for in a morning, not like me , they take your thoughts away no doubt and that's got to be a good thing right ?, Know this , you should be VERY proud of yourself , you've got a beautiful family 🤗, Take Care Love xx and try and make a little time just for you xx

Your mental health is priority also, those children need a happy mommy, plus poor flo is teething so at the moment you have alot on, I also fold my washing when it's washed, what did you have with your chilli? I have mine with boiled rice, love to see you smile even though you have alot going on with 12 beautiful children. I'm the opposite to you if something needs doing I have to do it right away but I don't have a busy day with 12 children, I used to be just like you when my 7 children was younger. Never seem to be enough hours in the day, great vlog supper mommy xx

    Zoe I think if you plan to do something in my case it goes all wrong so I usually think in the morning what wants doing and do a bit I can only work in fits and starts because I've copd and spondylitis that when your vertebrae strart crumbling and they trap your nerves in your spine .when I was a single parent j was always moving furniture about I'd move the living room round or change my bedroom round I couldn't with my sons it was only a small room so his bed would only go one way .imoved my bedroom round once and woke up next day thinking I was on holiday but no luck there I'd moved my bed a different place . I hope you had a warm drink when you went back home from school .you look after yourself just put the bigger girls clothes in piles forthrm to put away and noah he could do it too have you thought of getting sticker charts for for the 4 youngest going to school and give them a sticker for what ever toy they are playing with up stairs or down give them a sticker ect then it's less for you to do love to all fran xxx
