Larger families...
Anyone have a larger family (I'm sort of defining that as 4 or more in my head because I already have 3) and work FT? I'm trying to decide if I can manage that (staying home is not an option for me) and stay sane and be a good mother/wife! Any thoughts??

Re: Larger families...
We have 4 kids and I work 4 days a week. It is definitely hectic but we have support from our family and a wonderful nanny for the kids while I am at work.

Re: Larger families...
I have 3 but am done! Of course you can be a great wife/mother of 4 (or more)....Now, sane? That part I don't know about?!?
I am definitely not sane anymore (as I went nuts this morning looking for one of my shoes as my LO decided to hide it on me as we were about to leave).

Re: Larger families...
Not yet but hoping to. We have 3 kids so far & hope to double that in the next 5 years if physically able. I also plan to continue working FT (but I do take long maternity leaves). Not going to let the fact that I will be working stop us from having the big family we want (God willing). Will do the best I can when the time comes, just like I do now. Family time & being there for them is what's most important to me, so I'll take lots of days off & be there as much as I can, without quitting my job. I think that's all you can do. Work-life balance is tough for everybody I think.
