[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 (8, 6, and 2.5) and a live in nanny. We have no family (different countries) and no other help. Both DH and I work from home now, but the plan is to go back in person soon. Older are in elementary and youngest in preschool. Our live in nanny helps around the house too now that youngest is in PT preschool. Older two are same gender and for now are in the same 3 activities (tennis (twice a week), swimming and gymnastics), same days, but slightly different times.

Even with our FT nanny it’s hard… everyday one kid is upset about something, or sick, or there is a birthday party, school event, school social, etc. (this might be because kids are in private school abs there something going one EVERYDAY… crazy). 3 kids have different needs and wants… it’s hard.

I feel we are always running at 100% and if one kid gets sick, there is no “room” and something else needs to “suffer” (and that’s usually the house or work).

But weekends are mostly great because we don’t work and I love my kids and their relationships. [/quote]
