Re: If you have 4 kids?

I have 4. 13, 6,almost 5, sand 12 months. This could be different for everyone, and it's a lot of the same stuff with 2 or 3 kids.
I won't say bad, I'll say the hardest things:
it's very difficult to save money,Someone always needs something.
my house is very rarely clean, I clean one room, turn around and its a mess. Sicknesses, seems like someone is always sick. No alone time with dh.
the good: there's a lot, they are individually unique and for the most part stick up for each other. They will always have each other, their laugh is infectious, they love each other, and it takes one good sweet moment to overlook all the hard.

Re: If you have 4 kids?

All under 6, my oldest will help tremendously without asking, we always say he's going to be a good daddy he will read to the younger ones. He loves being the oldest.. My littlest one has learned through her older siblings. People are amazed at what she can do physically and say at her age. They too will look out for each other. I can get my house clean for about an hour not dirty but just toys everywhere. Grocery shopping has to be an in and out thing. I usually have deliveries. Bedroom configuration was challenging but we got that down. It can get hectic where I'll call them a different name and they will correct me My parents came from a large family and my aunts and uncles are all close and helpful still to each other and I hope my kids will be the same way. We're done though!
