Hey everyone. This is my first time posting on here. I guess I should tell you I'm 18, 34.5 weeks pregnant with my first, but my husband has two daughters, 3 and 5 that live with us about 70% of the time. We've been together for a little over 3 years and have raised his children together. (The mom is not great) I've mostly been a lurker on this board, lol. But I am currently in the middle of packing up my whole house. We just got a call we weren't expecting that we could move in to a rental house we've been waiting for (much larger and nicer than my mother in laws). We moved from California to Texas about 7 months ago and have been waiting for a nice rental to come up but the problem is we now have to be moved out of this house and moved into the new one by this weekend. My husband works full time so this packing is killing me. Do you mommys have any tips for making packing easier or distracting my other two girls so I can get it done? Thank you!
Re: Moving by this weekend
You've been raising a child with your husband since you were 15? Jeez.
Good luck! If I was in Texas I would offer to help!
That was just my experience, it may not work for you. But trying to get the kids involved might help to move things along a little faster, give them each a box to fill and make a competition out of it.
But that could also turn into a disaster and set you back further, so if that doesn't work enlist the help of friends/neighbours or a moving company. It's not cheap but it will be done efficiently.
But I'm also confused by the age thing..you've been with your husband more than 3 yrs but he has a 3 yr old? Not trying to be rude, your intro just left me stumped.
