@meraki 5 kids 7 and under here as well! We are a SAHM and a chemical engineer.

@akdamar The best thing I did as a SAHP was to hand off bed time to my husband. Now (almost) every night he deals with bath/stories/bed while I relax or work on house stuff.

@katrina2017 Yep, everything is sorted into tops and bottoms, but other than that it’s just in the drawer. It helps that each kid only has about 10-12 shirts and pant and they don’t like anything fancy so it’s all just t-shirts and cotton pants for the most part. I started doing in once they...

@dp797 I have 4 kids, ages 5 and under. My biggest hacks are clothes related. 1: I stopped folding kids clothes. Cotton shorts/pants go into one drawer, t shirts go in another drawer, dress shirts (1/2 per kid) hang. Such a game changer! 2: Each kid only gets one brand/style of sock. This way it...

@argentwarrior 4 kids in 5 years here. We don’t do it all, but I firmly believe the benefits of a lot of siblings close in age outweighs the lack of one on one time to focus on those things. For reading, we all go to library story time together, we all sit and read a story together at bedtime...

@daisy83 We have 5 kids and our rule is that I am in charge of all middle of the night newborn care while my husband deals with all big kid wake ups. That means I am always waking up multiple times in the middle of the night while my husband could get lucky with either 1 or no wake ups from the...

@summer63 If you are ok with something with religious undertones (they are hosted at churches) I highly recommend looking to see if there is a MOPs (mother of preschoolers) group in your area. While not completely free it’s like $30ish for the entire year of meetings/playgroups/moms night out...

@sjbraunlich I don’t know the ages of your kids, but we have had success with “gating” off a hallway with a piece a furniture like an ottoman that the bigger kids can crawl over without help but the crawling baby cannot climb over. Maybe something like that would be a solution in your case...
