Once they're four they can go into a kindy program (so preschool in other states) run through a public school and it won't cost them a cent (beyond usual school activity fees and buying the uniform). Honestly saved us a fortune in child care/private preschool fees for my daughter when we moved to WA and discovered this Image Maybe they moved into a better school district??

Oh ok. When I was enrolling my girls in their new one it asked if I had three in the same year to get an extra bonus.
My daughter can enrol into our kindergarten (private school kindy) at 3 and do two years. I’m excited because it’s cheaper than daycare even though it’s private school ha.

Think if some or all of the kids went to school Ro could get the housework done, Chloe could get the editing and admin for YouTube done they could have time to go on lunch dates - the children would be able to make friends separate from their siblings, have a well-rounded education, get messy with paints or something & everyone would be so much happier. Nah, let's keep "homeschooling" because who doesn't want to recite multiplication facts all day long or pretend to read at the park for a YouTube video.

"With one two year old there isn't sny other two year olds around to make being cheeky look so fun"

Ahem... Chloe... you might want to sit down for this. Most parents don't raise their children in isolated bubbles. Most 2 year olds spends hours and hours every week socializing with other kids their age (and younger/older). I know it might be a shock to you. But this situation is in no way unique to you and your hard hard triplets. My kids have picked up oodles of bad habits from friends

Nah, I think she's got a point! At 2 my kids didn't socialise much. They didn't enter kindy until 3. Not sure what USA or AU equivalent is but I'm talking the traditional kindy for 3-5yr olds where they go morning or afternoon (sometimes all day) term time only, play all day, have mat time with teachers singing or reading. Similar to what we would have done 30-40years ago. Not a daycare where they take from babies onwards and do nappy chances etc and not a preschool where they make it like a mini-school.
Kids at 2-4 can be damn hard work and I imagine 3 of your own would be really tiring as one would do something and the other 2 would think it's a good idea so copy. Then repeat! Kids also generally behave more in outside the home situations and play up more for parents.

My kids are 7 and 9, and even they sometimes join forces and egg each other one. I find that annoying and frustrating and hard (and often funny too) and that's with only 2 and also at an age where they can be reasoned with.

My kids weren't in daycare at 2 either but we did playcenter which is kind of like a Kindy except you stay with your child, so they get all the benefits of ECE without it being a daycare and it's run by parents. Plus we did the music classes and had friends with kids the same ages and my kids both have cousins the same ages.

Also most kids are daycare kids because most parents these days have to return to work, most people don't get to live off of benefits and fake youtube careers. So I'd say the vast majority to 2 year olds spend oodles of time with kids their age and pick up all the bad habits. It's just a fact of life for most people.

Though honestly I feel like she's probably just having a pointless whinge anyway, there's less than a year between otto and evan and at one point before the trips she experienced having three toddlers at once, so she can't honestly think she's not dealt with this before. We've even seen the older three wind each other up in vlogs.

Regardless, most kids have either friends or siblings or cousins to egg them on. If you only have one kid and you don’t socialise much, maybe it’s a fair point, but otherwise, there’s always someone around influencing decisions - good, bad, or indifferent. The older boys would’ve been the same. Don’t tell me that Evan and Otto, being less than a year apart, never encouraged “cheekiness” in each other

Most of the triplets supposed cheekiness seems to simply be testing boundaries and having independent thoughts. Something most almost 3-year-olds are known for. Yes, having triplets is hard but it's like she practically already did triplets with the older 3 so she should be used to it and she's done 2 3 times already.

She seems to be trying harder with their food lately. She's doing more vegan versions of normal foods for main meals. That trough style mash up everyone was upset about in one of the recent vlogs was a snack where as in the past she'd have called that dinner. I wonder if she's finally lisening to us, or a Dr has mentioned something or they just got bored with the avo-spinach grool

Maybe the triplet refusing food [who was it Rufus or Henry] influenced them all to reject the gruel and that's why she's mad.

I laughed when she asked Ro how it was and he said he couldn't eat it fast enough. REAL FOOD! He got to eat REAL FOOD!

Haha really? Good decision.

I haven't watched a vlog in awhile but I skipped towards the end of the latest where they're eating their vegan "butter chicken"...did she seriously say they used water rather than oil for sauteeing the onions, etc? Why would you remove that good fat and flavour when cooking for growing kids and a scrawny husband? It IS a step up from their gruel troughs for sure but it does give me that uncomfortable feeling that their veganism is all due to Chloe's own desire to diet/lose weight. :/ I have a friend who had micropreemie multiples who are still catching up as toddlers and they're all about bulking up meals with extra good fats. (Like, that curry would have definitely has the oil in and probably a good amount of coconut cream as well!) I don't get it...

Yikes. She sure is desperate to look like one of her toddlers. 115.00 for that cardigan. https://www.lazyoaf.com/products/lazy-o ... w-cardigan And look, hand wash only so Ro better be careful when he does her majesty's washing or it's gruel and no more vegan baked goods for him!

I honestly thought that was a sweater she found at the Goodwill. Not knocking the goodwill but I can't imagine spending $20 for that let alone $115.

Why can't she use a bit of olive oil? Children's brains need healthy fat. You need fat to digest fat soluble vitamins. My vegan toddlers, we were told until three around 35% of their daily calories should come from fat because of brain development. Roasting veggies in olive oil or mashing coconut oil into potatoes or on waffles etc was the easiest way.

Ro has never been very comfortable with the vlogging. Besides if you think about it Ro does all the work while Chloe sits around and films. Remember he does the vast majority of the childcare, all of the cleaning, all of the cooking, all of the driving etc because she edits...until late in the night...when she does cook it's for Instagram.

I still think she’s a hypocrite for saying she’s a ‘colour lover’ yet her house, especially the kids bedrooms, look worse than an orphanage. No Chloe we didn’t notice you were a colour lover because apart from sponsored clothes, your house has zero colour.
Also, not putting oil or fats in their food may be because she’s still trying to lose weight and they all eat the same food. Which is selfish, but I think that could be the reason.

Any decent vegan knows how important healthy fats are though.. It's sugar that causes weight gain not healthy fat

Good guessing with the bedroom and children combos - Evan and Pearl, Henry and Otto and Rufus and Felix.

I don’t get how Chloe thinks putting Evan and pearl together is the best idea ever. It might be okay now but I’m a couple of years time Evan will not be wanting to share with his younger sister (who is younger by 3 years too).
