I have 7 daughters , in the process of buying my first home, and working fulltime 50 hours a week as the primary bread winner.needless to say, im freaking out a bit. My fiancee acts like its no big deal, and so and so has had it for years, I'll be fine kind of thing. And I put on a brave face to be strong for my family. I just don't know what to do, or where to start. Any advised would be very much appreciated:)
