  • Girl, I know what you mean!! I have 4 all under the age of 12. It does get eaiser or you just get you use to it! lol When your feeling over whelmed have hubby keep the kids and get out of the house, do something for you. I like to read it relaxes me. I take lots of showers!! My hubby gives me alot of help, i just say hey i need a min to myself, and sometimes I feel bad cause he works 2 jobs, but taking care of kids is a job too!! Just make sure you get some me time!! if you ever need to talk I'm here just message me!!:)
  • I have 4 too! It does get crazy. I agree with starlilly, thats just what I was gonna say! It will get better and its normal to feel overwhelmed. Just try to find some time for you:)
  • My brother and his wife have 4 kids .. 5 1/2 yr old girl, 21 month old boy, 9 month old twin boys, shes exhausted lol
  • @starlilly my hubby helps me a lot too and its such a blessing :) I will definetly hit u up on those really bad days when I need another mother of four to cry too... lol and @momof4gregory glad to see I'm not alone either... @cjohnson11 wow I would be totally nuts with 4 under 5!!!
  • 4 kids here, but they 3 older are 14,12 and 10...each has a social life, extra activities and different sports or classes they take AND go to different schools. Totally understand not having a routine. I feel like I am winging it mist, if not all of the time. Hang in there momma, it has to get better :)
  • Thanks @cicelia I think u have it hard bc dating scares the crap out of me to think about... teen yrs in general scare me..lol
  • You just have to make a schedule and follow it as best as you can. I'm on baby (biological) #5, and I know we're going to have to work around some of it when the baby comes, but try not to go too far away from the schedule. Its super hard at first, but once you get it, it becomes simple. :-)
  • Thanks @cristinalynn I know I started getting a somewhat routine and then my older two got out of school for holidays, through me for a loop. Hoping to get back on a routine at the first of yr :)
  • My kids have been acting crazy since they've been out too lol...I think it's the holidays
  • Me too its wild :O
