The Chaos- I'm not coping with it!

[SemiAquaticEggLayingMammal]

I'm mum to my 3 lovely boys, 13, 10 and 4, I work 4 days a week. Our lives are just chaos at the moment and whilst I know I'll get on top of it all in the end (like any family) at the moment I just want to stay in bed and pretend life isn't happening. I'm knackered, youngest has just started school and we are all struggling to adjust to the new school routine after their summer hols and the house is an utter abomination to boot. Can someone send me a link to an additional 8 hours every day? Please?

same boat here but with 4 kids. my 4 year old has just started school aswell (hes not my youngest as I have a 16 month old) and im finding it tough!! hes on half days so im back and forth 6 times a day

Creeper im v grateful that ds3 went straight into full days. My boss would not have been impressed otherwise. You must be well and truly fed up of the school run.

I'm trying to remember how to be efficient- I just feel like I'm firefighting all the time and reacting to stuff rather than being in control and I don't like it one bit!

Just wanted to add #solidarity
I feel your pain. Have 3 kids. No family near by.
Work part time, trying to get business off the ground...

I slept for 12 hours last night and fell asleep in the afternoon when my kids were at their dads...
Total hamster wheel....
