Anyone else a mom of multiples, like 3 or more? I am exhausted, I have an 8yo, almost 6yo, 4yo, 3yo and a 2yo. I’m losing my steam yall we have a decent schedule but lately they all want to do something separate, or they hit me with the asking for something different all at once and phew my brain melts down I just need to know someone else out there is struggling lol I’m putting the 3 youngest in day care soon so I can work more, and the 2 oldest are in school but the weekends I’m dead

I am in the same boat as you. My youngest will finally go to school in the fall so I will have some time to myself. But there are the weekends where my kids are like Mommy, I want this or I need that all at the same time. I thought I was going to pull my hair out over the winter holidays lol

I had four in seven years,I would take turns doing what my kids wanted to do,I had a board on the refrigerator with pictures on it for the kid to pick from. And would tell them mommy needs ten minutes to her self( it wasn’t a lot of time but it helped)they would get a toy or book and let me have my time ,they grew up with this,

Did you think it was going to be easy when you chose to be pregnant and popping babies out for 5 years solid?

Where’s the dad(s)…file for custody and child support if you haven’t already, pay someone to give you a couple hours of relief occasionally.

I had my 1st two 18 months apart, not on purpose, and then my 3 Rd 3 years later, then my 4 7 years after that, not really sure why you wanted all those , that close together. I had all I can do when. 3 oldest were still young I had a 4 year old , 3 year old and very comically new born.
We have a 12, 10, 9, 8 and 6. Busy is an understatement. Between full time jobs x2, part- time hussles, school and extra curricular activities…I don’t think we stop. Ever. Make sure you take time for yourself. We run a tight ship and routine is a major thing in our household
We raised 5.they are 29 down to 16.my youngest daughter is the only one home now.when they were closer to your children’s age my husband accepted a promotion 3 hrs away.we moved away from friends and family.my mother fell I’ll and we moved her in.i worked 40 hrs a week took care of all of them until my mom passed.atleast 2 years was a complete blur.exaustion was an under statement.it does get easier they will grow.but you have every right to feel exausted.
