Hey sam love the fact you keep it real im always shouting at my kids for not cleaning up and my youngest is 17 she does nothing i ask her to do she doesn’t even know the difference between a washer and a dryer she drives me potty i love all your content if its hauls or cleaning or just chatting look forward to seeing anything take care of yaself

Thanks so much love.. I'm going to film a cleaning one tomorrow I think ❤️😘

@@grablifebythehauls3902 that’s good might give me motivation just go steady you look like you gonna pop bless ya it’s not easy being pregnant when i was pregnant with my youngest i was huge it looked like i was carrying twins even though i lost about 3 stone cus of the lack of food i could actually eat she didn’t suffer she was 9 pounds 3

[@sarahwhetstone-james4290]

I feel you with your children not ‘pulling their weight’. I had two like that & was forever being told that it was my fault - I was doing too much for them. However, now they’ve left home, they both cook, clean etc & often say that I showed them how to be a good parent. That’s a win for me! Hope you’re feeling okay. I haven’t commented for AGES but really hope the final few weeks of your pregnancy go well. Get your feet up & try to take it easy when you can. ❤❤

[@grablifebythehauls3902]

Aw love thank you ❤️ it's lovely to hear from you I hope you have been keeping well? Yes I don't feel like a good parent at the minute to be honest... I just don't know if I go way about things right sometimes and I did really go nuts last night but I was over tired and wanted to film my haul and make kids tea and I had washing still dumped on floor that I had to then do..some of it was clean and all .. so I was just not happy.... But you know him always try be honest with you all because of I was all smiles doing my haul after I just lost my rag I would feel so fake... I'm just tired and fed up at the minute but then I hate having days like that coz ultimately I'm so grateful for everything I just had a moment xx

[@sarahwhetstone-james4290]

It’s normal to feel guilty but it’s also normal to reach the end of your rope & expect them to help you a little. I only had two (would have had more if I could) but I imagine with twelve it’s never ending cooking, cleaning, laundry etc. It would be nice if they looked around & thought ‘Gee, Mum needs some help!’ Never apologise for being real, my lovely. It’s what makes you so likable!! ❤️❤️

[@susanhogan4684]

Hi Sam you need to rest looking so tyerd. I hope you can get some sleep you are in my prayers God's blessing to all your family x ❤❤

[@joannehandley6250]

I agree with some of the other comments. You do look worn out. Don't feel bad about getting cross because the task you asked one of your children to do had not been done. That's understandable. Maybe you should encourage the older ones to help out. But it's your family Sam, do what you feel is right. ❤

[@joyswindells4989]

Time to sit down with the oldest Sam and ask them to help more around the house, I know I only had 3 but working full time in a job I always did loads for them but eventually had to get them to help more.

[@grablifebythehauls3902]

I know and it's right to teach them to do more too... Mine do help out Ryan is always first one there if you need anyone ... My eldest two do a bit ... My other teenage boys do nothing ha.. I don't expect them to be always cleaning house and things and I think I have always felt because we are a large family I have not wanted them to feel they've had to do more because there's more kids if that makes sense. We try do most of it ourselves but like last night I asked one of them to do one thing and they hadn't and I did just flip. That's when I get annoyed. Families with only one or two kids still instil chores and helping around the house in their kids I don't know why I feel because I've a big brood that I shouldn't... But ... Hopefully they will start to learn .. even just hoovering loft for me would be a big help xx

Oh Sam, I so wish I were there across the pond with you. I could help you out now that your're so tired and baby so close to arrival. I could be a mom's assistant a few hrs a day and give you some peace of mind and relieving you and Dave of some of the routine chores. But here I am on the other side of the pond. I need a "go fund me page" to help me get to the U.K.! But here I am 😢😢😢. Sending you my prayers & love for strength and all to go well.❤❤❤

The easiest way to stretch chicken is to shred it. I don’t know why, but it goes so far. I’m now making a pulled chicken recipe regularly, just because of that. I’m the same with my kids…I only have 2 boys that just turned 18 and 20, and it’s maddening, but I’ve done it to myself, and one of mine isn’t even grateful, or more so doesn’t realize what all is done for him. I told him he’s going to start cooking dinner once a week…which could be interesting 😂

[@grablifebythehauls3902]

Haha aww I don't blame you ... Yes chopping it small or shredding it will make it go further I probably will do that xxx

Someone on another vlog, Kimberley Whisk, always says that this time won't last forever Sam. They'll come a time when all the kids have flown the nest and you won't have to tidy up after them, do their washing, cook their meals etc and you'll probably wish for these days to be back. She also says, Only clean what can be seen!!

[@grablifebythehauls3902]

Haha yes that's a good point... I did pull some of kitchen cupboards out though couldn't help myself. I'm just tired at the min it's hard not getting sleep on a night and having to function like I know many do.. just got to get on with it ❤️ xx

Your fantastic don’t worry about losing you rag, I’m sure my partner & son would call me a nag, when they get to a certain age they should do a few things to help but being a teen they can’t see what needs doing they think everything looks fine it’s a teen/man thing not a mum thing xx

Haha no not needed but it did make me smile when I heard what it does haha ... I knew it was good for blood pressure .. and I know that's it I'm worried they can't do stuff for themselves xx

[@kidzngrandkidz840]

Hair colour looks fab, don’t worry about your parenting, we all do too much for our kids and we know they’re capable of doing things, but, they’re just being kids, if we weren’t there and they had to do it for themselves rest assured they’d be fine, I once told my teenage son if he needed something doing and I wasn’t there he would have to do it for himself, I got home from work and he’d put his shirt in the machine to go out in that night,,,,, just his shirt, nothing else 🤯🤣

[@grablifebythehauls3902]

😂😂 bless him... I just want mine to have a bit more responsibility in some ways. The older ones do keep their rooms tidy but it's just odd things like emptying bin for me or hoovering stairs which is probably thing I find hardest at the moment... I feel awful now I've ranted on but I was so upset with one of them last night and if I don't say these things I feel false on my videos and I never want to make out we're perfect. I'm getting on with bedrooms at the minute and I've ragged half of my kitchen cupboards out so I am making more work for.myself 😂 x

Sam sometimes you need to vent and get things off your chest and if you feel we're the ones to vent to then go ahead we'll listen and maybe give you a few solutions and some will just let you have your say that's ok we got you perhaps you and Dave can do a routine for the older ones ten and up can do a lot for themselves and the little ones just pick up their own toys but you need back up from Dave to keep it going it'll be good for them because they'll need to know how to take care of themselves once they leave home and have places of they're own take care of yourself love from Cornwall ❤❤❤❤❤❤xxxx
