[quote=Anonymous]Do not downsize bc do not underestimate the amount of space kids take up as they get bigger. We have 4 kids and now that 3 are teenagers, we are actually moving for more space. It’s more fun to be the house that has space to host kids on weekends, before events, etc. Ypu are truly in that worst of it for time spent on annoying things with logistics. Now, even my 7th grader gets the emails for sports and things sent straight to her. There is a ton less organizing during the work day. My kids also all do sports at school now so don’t get home until 6:30. I feel like I’d miss working during the day bc I do have the flexibility to attend their games. You might need to outsource more? I’d much rather pay my cleaning person and she does a better job than if i tried to do it myself. Finally, I question what types of activities your pre-k kid is in that need follow up or whatever? Ive seen so many parents over commit their oldest kids to activities. Don’t do it. They don’t need them and you’re just create hassles and stress![/quote]
