[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m another poster pregnant with my 4th. What do weekends look like for big families?[/quote]

We have four.  Friday nights I take kids to gymnastics/parkour, then we have pizza and movie night.  Saturday’s are pretty low key.  Kids are in soccer and basketball for their schools, but it is never more than twenty minutes away and lasts for an hour.  We aren’t running all over the place.  Maybe this will change as they get older.  Mostly we clean the house, read, watch some tv.  My middle two usually have a play date.  
Saturday night DH and I go out for date night.  
Sunday we go to church, have lunch, come home and play outside for a bit.  Do homework/practice music.  Watch TV.  We have a big dinner every Sunday with dessert, then a family meeting.  After family meeting kids finish up any homework, get backpacks packed, read story, and go to bed.  DH and I split bedtimes to two older kids and two smaller kids.  The smaller kids want to pick out their own stories.  The older kids would rather listen together for longer.

When do you spend 1-1 time with each kid?[/quote]
