Are you trying to raise a football team?

Assuming you're working, I'd say use whatever extra time you have to get back to school. Your next question on this site should be '; how can I get Government Subsidized Housing?'; I had very little starting out with my family but lived within my means, bought only essentials, lived a clean honest life and trusted in God. I reached out for help from family when I needed it, got a job with benefits that most people are afraid to do and stayed at it. You can do it if you want it bad enough. God bless you.
You could try Habitat for Humanity? here is a link to finding an office near you in the U.S...

Or you could try that TV show where they build people new houses called Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?Here is a link to apply for that...
http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/c鈥?/a>
Also you could look into HUD housing developments, where the payments are based on income.Here is a link to that...

Have you tried for food stamps and food bank in your area to help make ends meet? The food bank people are very generous to help and go by how many people are in the family. You need to stretch your dollars as best you can. Don't be too proud to try for these two things.Maybe they can even help with medicaid (health care)since you have so many kids. Good luck . I will say a prayer for you.
Yes, it's feasible. Get bunk beds for the children.
Alternative is to have someone sleep on a cot in the kitchen.
People do this more often than you would think. Be creative, and be thankful you do have a house.
It would be awfully cramped, but probably possible. Maybe you can get some government assistance to help get a larger home, or help with money and food stamps so you can afford a larger place. 6 children under these conditions, is too many...but you and your wife made this choice, so I guess now you have to find a way to make work
y not build an addition onto it???
Call or write to the Extreme Makeover show and hope that Tye Pennington can send you and your family to Disney World while he tears down your house and builds you a multi-million dollar pad. Other than that I suggest beer in moderation. Good luck!
Sorry I think you should have been asking advice before having six children!
Since you asked for advice: Do not have any more kids. They will eventually grow up and move away from home leaving just you and your wife. Until then you will have to stack use futons, bunk and trundle beds.
By the way, how did you manage to have six kids with no privacy. Must have been tricky.
i'm sorry, i don't have nay advice for you, but my hat does go off to you. how in the world do you live like that?
my husband and i have been living in a house like that for 5 years now and we have stuff piled up everywhere, it is so crowded in this house and it is just the two of us and our dog.
is there anyway you could get a second job to get some more money. definitely keep your eye on the paper, every now and then you will find a amazing deal on a house. talk to some realestate people or make some friends with people how rent houses.
you can and you will. have faith. add one room at a time. buy materials as you can afford it and whrn you have enough, build dont worry about the inner looks as long as you are comfortable you can do it.
No. You should have thought of that when you were making so many kids. Get a second job.
Please use condoms, feel sorry for you though, cannot have any privacy but feel happy that you still have a home to live in .:))
I lived in a one bedroom with just me and my daughter and dog.. but you are more crowded then that. I don't have any advise, but I can suggest a book to read that can teach you how to change your life. It's called The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. It isn't a business.. it just teaches you how to find your own way of making money.. no matter how stuck you feel now. You can actually get it free online print it off or read it directly on line. If you want, email me and I'll send it to you. My friend sent it to me via email and I loved it. Oprah did a few shows series on that book.
That has been plenty for the major of preceding mankind. a tepee, mongolian huts, igloos and just check it out man. hell, we have that many kids and a mother-in-law and an old uncle in two big rooms and one little bathroom in our doublewide. people have to get used to cooperation. remember this, only this last couple of generations in a few prividedged countries live your life. have you views. you are actually also the end of the priviledge. the party is over rich dudes.
Adjustment can be made if your children are of small age,
make one for yours 6 children %26amp; another room for you %26amp; your wife.
1 word...EARPLUgS!!
Hi.... well, yes you can live in a house like that... but as your children get older it will be even harder.
Can I just ask, is there a reason you have 6 children when you have a smaller-sized house? Is it a case of you both have children from previous relationships? Or have you chosen to have 6 children?
Go to http://www.findaproperty.co.uk and look at how much a house like yours would be worth in your area (rent or selling). Consider moving to a cheaper area - or possibly going to the council and explaining your situation to see if they can provide a larger house for you.

My advice is to go to Home Depot and pick up a book on building rooms. You could probably build a couple rooms onto your house for a whole lot less then you think. Do price checks on the materials you will need and slowly but surely start buying the materials. It may take time but depending on the ages of your children they could pitch in and help with the building also. You could probably go to your bank and get a home improvement loan that will help you with getting the materials you will need.
Good luck to you and your family.
Were a condom each and every time you have sex so as not to make it a wife and 7+ children.
you made your bed now lay in it
Earplugs and duct tape! :)
Get a job or if you are already working get another job so you do have the money to house your family.
And stop looking for handouts.
We taxpayers have too many freeloaders to support already
1. Bunkbeds
2. Vasectomy
3. Start saving money - change in a jar can add up
Contact social services they may be able to help your situation.
I hope the two rooms are big, at least you can put 3 bunk beds on top of each other..I suppose you can do it, if the children are really well groomed for the Brady bunch, if every one cooperates you can~ ~ but not for years or you going to have to put you and your wife bedroom in a closet
Good luck you do what you can~ can't ask for more~ Love each other..
But do yourself a favor.. no more kids (it would help)
hi try converting your attic into 2 bedrooms and a conservatory on the back, ask your bank for a loan for this.
Sell the older children.Knock the two rooms into one, or better yet extend down.This is even better if there is a flat under you.I trust I have been of help.
