[quote=Anonymous]I actually do feel like I can give each one time and special attention but I mainly attribute it to them being spaced out a great deal.  My oldest is 11, middle two are 8 and 5 and my "little kids" are 3.5 and 5 months.  Having 5 kids in a 10/11 year span is much different than a 6 or 7 or even 8 year span IMO.  The downside of that is I have been "starting" over for years now!  First at 25 and last at 37.  I also do almost nothing (beyond specific date nights and one annual trip with my husband) alone.  I am always trying to take one kid on every errand to talk and get caught up.  I have to maximize every single nap with the baby and make sure Im using that time with another kid.  All my babysitter money goes towards going to other kids school programs, field trips, or sporting events where I can't take the little kids.  I really try and utilize every hour in the day.

PS: I have gutted myself on DCUM before with my "secret" but my one tip for moms of 3,4,5 + kids is to use a gym daycare daily.  I go 5 times a week and workout 3 times a week.  Those other 2 days I just take a long shower and do my bills in the locker room or catch up on my texts in the sauna.  Sometimes I will spend 40 minutes blowing out my hair if I have an event that weekend, just a little breather![/quote]
