[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you like your life, you just accept being tired. Go to bed earlier in lieu of reading or a movie or whatever it is you do at night.

If you feel too squeezed, get the oldest two into the same school - multiple drop-offs and pickups is insane - and cut down on activities. One or two activities per kid, and they need to be either the same activity or compatible, eg, one kid has gymnastics and one has swimming and they're at the same gym.

Grocery delivery. Amazon delivery. These are key. We almost never do physical errands for stuff like buying clothes or school supplies, takes way too long in our traffic-congested area. We walk to a small grocery a couple times a week and get delivery for the bigger items. We do an in-person shop for paper towels, toilet paper etc once a month, and combine that with package returns if need be (package store is right next to Giant).

Do a load of laundry every day. Make your kids do their own. The two older ones could be assigned their own laundry day and then you just have to do the rest.

Cut the play dates down to every other week if it's too much. Etc.[/quote]
