I swore I'd never feed my DS1 McDonald's. That didn't last long. Guarantee DS2 will be having a fry soon haha. I was all organic and stuff and then realty set in, and organic is not much of a selection where I live!

Also with DS1, all Gymboree or Baby Gap clothes. Now it's garanimals from Wal-Mart. $3.88 for a onesie, yes! And used clothes!

Poor DS2 is getting hand-me-downs like crazy, including practically no new toys. And crib, pfft pack n play.

Do I was his pacis as recommended? No, I don't. I rarely sterilized them even. I let him chew on anything safe, whether is cleaned it super good or not. And you bet your butt he eats his puffs and Cheerios off the floor, that organic baby food is expensive!!!

FYI: I have 4 DSs, but the older two weren't in baby stage when I married their dad. SSs and DS are always bickering, some days I tell them "beat each other up then, but don't come whining to me when it hurts!"

My first for are really close in age and I'd have them all in matching clothes to go out and I'd have had a shower. Now when I take them to school or go out with 5&6, I'm sometimes in my jammies, no shower and the little two may just have on a diaper or a tshirt and boxers.

The food thing, I was careful with my fifth because it had been a while and he is dhs first. But with my sixth, he I'd just turning one and grabs food from the three year old so has already had fries, chips, pizza and homemade cookies. Oh and ice cream :/. And he loves to eat of the floor.
