Hi everyone! Just after some kind advice from mums of 4 kids. What am I in for ?!
any tips to make life run a bit more smoothly? Or do I just have to embrace the chaos!
When number 4 comes along I will have a 10 year old, 7 year old and 3 year old! I'm a stay at home mum so at least I don't have to juggle a job as well lol :-)
Thank you! Xxx

I think just more of the same. My sister has 4 and she says it's not much different from having 3 but the years of childcare just go on longer than for smaller families.

Generally just more of the same for a longer period of time. I have ten years between my eldest and youngest - eldest is currently finishing their masters so if youngest wants to do similar we will have been parents for 35 years when they all clear education.

I have 5! Just embrace the chaos, it's all you can do! School runs were a bit of a nightmare at first so being very organised and getting everything ready the night before helps. I will say, older children are great for helping and keeping baby entertained!

Get into a good routine as fast as you can but honestly enjoy the chaos . They arnt little forever and the time flies by.
