Hello?

by cathbusymumComment Published at 02:1502:154 comments4 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

It seems no one's been here for a while. Just wanted to say hi and ask how people manage a large household especially when you're gone from 3 kids to 5 in one hit. Any tips would be great!

Re: Hello?

Thinking about this, i also would have to say i write everything down on a calendar (or use a planner like angie).  I found if i don't check it every morning i forget something.....not that it always saves me but mostly!  I have stuck it on my pantry door which is right in the middle of the kitchen....so somewhere prominent is good...then i can see at a glance what is happening for that day, or what is needed for school etc.  It hasn't helped with laundry mountain or preparing dinner but i don't think i've forgotten as much this year as i did last year!

Re: Hello?

i think the only way to stay above water is to all work together contributing in what ever way each family member can, work out a roster or chores chart, plan meals and i wouldnt get by without my diary / daily planner.

good luck.

Re: Hello?

Don't know about five kids or twins for that matter, what sort of things did you want to know about in particular?  Member Izzy has had twins a while ago so she maybe good to chat to about that.  I have three children and they have pretty much driven me mad so i'm not much use!  Only joking....if i can help just let me know.....
