Hi Ive had 5 children today (2 x 8 ys/ 2 x3 yrs and 10mth old) Not been feeling 100% last few days nothing catchy just alittle off food and a cough but tired me out.
Anyhow had 5 children today and really struggled. Everyone wanted me to join in their game but didnt all want to play same game ?9elder ones didnt wnat to play young games and obviously younger ones not old enough to play older games and well LO started on the move last weekend..Manged to sit down finally at 5.30 .
Well I took them to the park. Older ones (ds and friend ) went upstairs for a little while. Lo's didnt want to do the same thing and need eyes at the back of my head for baby lol.Did some colouring , duplo everything I could think of. Struggled to make snacks. put out lunch without someone kicking off about something .
How do you manage . After one went got a little easier then other one went and just left with older ones and 3year old got easier. Only happens once a week but already dreading next week. Any advice- especially if raining..not all children into same things and one mindee odesnt like sharing , wants my attention all the time etc
Thanks for any advice given,.....
One totally worn out girl..admire those of you who do this every day all day and every week a you are a credit to you job. and those who manage to have more than 5 children and stay sane and not go grey I admire you more and whats your secret xx
