At the beginning of every week, we (me, my wife, and our four kids--ages 4 to 14) sit down all together and go over everyone's schedule for the week. We figure out how to handle conflicting events and decide how best to use our time.\n\nA couple of things that have really helped us: carpools (for school and for sports teams), writing everything down on one calendar, and choosing carefully what events/teams/etc. we get involved in. \n\nIt is kind of crazy some days. And I'm really lucky that I have a flexible job that allows me to get to a lot of my kids activities. But it is so fun to see our kids growing up and especially learning to support each other's interests and talents.\n\nGood luck.

Because after the second one, you can get them to pretty much raise themselves.  Sounds harsh but think about it, my mom spent tons of time, to the point of frustration, to teach me to ride a bike.  And a friend came along who just learned how a year before and taught, and even encouraged me through it, I learned it in five minutes.  Honestly, it does get easier after you have more, some of my friends don't believe me, fine then have it your way.  Two kids actually sucks, they fight all the time, and of course neither one of them broke the lamp.  Just one child gets way too much attention and can get really needy.  Three and more as long as you can afford them, and .. you always find a way to afford them.  Think of your family not as them and you but just all of you together.  My meaning is all of you learn, love, deal with one another all together.  The individual work when you fix one the children problems then you move on to the next one, is mostly in the beginning.  The big change is when you can rationalize with them (this  works best if you are honest with them, Santa Claus is exempt of course).\n\nI guess to use an economics term, look at the marginal utility of the youngest one.  Think if we never had her or him how much of a void would that cause in my life (and my childrens' lives).  Then you somewhat realize what your missing by not taking the next step.\n\nIf you don't have children yet, most of this will only make hazy, distant sense.

I raised five children, homeschooled them, taught enrichment programs at area elementary schools, wrote a weekly newspaper column, lead a Brownie Scout troop, landscaped my entire property with 6 different types of gardens, et cetera.  My secret was being organized, multi-tasking, including the children in some activities like gardening and visits to the library...Making an "appointment with myself" to do something I enjoyed which nurtured my soul and rejeuvenated me so I could spend quality time with the kids.  I journaled, read, knitted, wove, sewed, et cetera.  My kids had scheduled bed times so I could always look forward to time alone.  I lived every moment fully and I miss those busy days, now that the children are grown.  Enjoy yours!

Try daycare in your home, maybe 2-3 kids..then your baby will have friends to play with, good for the brain and social skills.Can be good money too.That way you don't have to leave home, and still keep baby on schedule and in your care.

I have three children, ages 8,6 and 3. My main goal in the morning is to get me up and ready for work, the children up,dressed and with their backpacks,and then out the door. I try to get as much of this done the night before- clothes laid out for the children, lunches made,baths for who need them. Then in the morning, all we need is brush the teeth, dress and grab the backpacks. It is a lot easier on me and on them, because there isnt that much to have to remember.

I have found that joining a class..like aerobics helps the best!!  That way you arent doing it alone, and when you have a class to go to, you are more opt to keep at it. Of course, with 3 kids, I know it can be hard..I have 3 myself. And keep track of what you eat in a daily journal.  Good Luck!!

Look to your three children and take care of them first.  Second finish your degree and follow your career.\n\nSounds to me like you need to prioritize things here and a man in your life is not exactly what you need right now.\n\nYou've met three Mr. Wrongs time to stop and think about what the next Mr. will bring, another child?\n\nThird well where ever you've met the past three STOP going their!

First of all you yourself present a good picture of how to behave well with others and develop new friends.Take him with u to meet some of your friends who have kids of his own age frequently.Let him carrry some of his toys so that he can share them with the other kids.ask you friend to join you by playing with them.Initially this will help him to mix up with those kids and then you can leave them free .U will soon get the wanted results.

I am trying to be serious , but may not sound as if...\n\nStop having children, try to get along with some body, I cant believe what is happened to you, how come you never realize that every children you have is a BIIIIIIIIG responsibility, and now you want advice on how to get out of trouble the easy way.\n\nGet to work, and give time to your children, they need it as well as they need to eat.\n\nIs time for you to face what you irresponsibly do, with or with out knowing the consequences..\n\nYou do it, now you fix it, it is going to be hard, but if you make it right you will get your reward, if you think you are not getting any reward, is because you get it before, did I make it clear ????

A stay at home mother of 3 is a full time job and should be very rewarding. Why do you want to spoil that with a second job which will ruin the quality of the first because then your 3 children will not be getting the care they are used to. Come on. You're doing what you want to do. Be proud of it.

I'm 25, already have a baby, I work full time in an international chinese company in Mexico...I'm just so busy all the time. I'm actually wondering if it's gonna be like this for the rest of my life. I wish I could just quit my job to spend more time with my baby before he grows up and doesn't need me anymore. See...I think this is a crisis.
