Hi, not sure this is the right place to post this so move if needs be.
I'm a mum of 4 aged 16/14/11/7. One DC possibly SN and very full-on. Awaiting assessment but we are considering private assessment to speed this process up. Sleep is difficult (eg was still awake at 12.40 last night-my evenings are spent putting child back to bed). DH away with work a lot, works +++++ hrs per week so doesn't really have a helping 'routine'. Will muck in but minimally (IMO, eg, will wash up if he sees it needs done, will stick on a wash but won't necessarily put it out, might cook, but at bedtime. His work has no structure/routine and nor does he).
I'm about to take on an MSc where I'll be in post training and studying 5/7/wk. I've been working around DH and kids for years now and this will be the least flexible any of them will remember. Where do I start planning and getting things in order? Life is chaotic with multiple hobbies and evening clubs, exams, finances to sort, big house and garden/greenhouse and 4 pets. We have no bus route so we have to drive the kids everywhere. Currently I manage 90% of this. Help!!!!
