...consisting of two adults and 4 kids (3 in primary and a baby), or more, what does a typical day look like for you?
What's your routine and what things do you get done in the day?

Mine are much older now, youngest is 14, but I home educated from the year child number 3 was born. It was loving chaos and anything achieved was more by luck than judgement.

I have 3 in primary and a nearly 3 year old.

Tbh it works by us both having flexible jobs and the kids all being pretty well behaved. We limit them to 2 after school clubs each (plus swimming lessons) and they are happy reading, watching TV etc. No dietary requirements so we eat as a family - though standards are pretty low compared to others on MN (eg beans on toast or a bacon cob is an acceptable meal once or twice a week!)

Mornings are quite nice, we try to walk to school which is less stressful than bundling them all in the car.

All asleep by 9ish so DH and I can watch tv or do our hobbies / volunteering / catch up on work.

How do your days look OP?
