[quote=Anonymous]We have six, but there's a big spread between #2 and #3, and the 5th and 6th are step kids. We haven't had an issue with hotel rooms - we've always just gotten two - either adjoining or next door/across the hall from each other. No big deal. The thing that gave us the most stress was keeping the little ones out of the way when the older ones had friends over or needed to study/do homework. Little kids are enamored by big kids, so that was hard. Having an afternoon (2-7) nanny has been a lifesaver. Sometimes I just have them doing three loads of laundry and stirring two things on the stove for a few hours while I'm running around with three kids while one kid practices a presentation over and over to the nanny. Watching the kids form their own relationships has been awesome. Having one in college FaceTime one in middle school and seeing them do homework "together" is great. Flying one out for Siblings Weekend is even better. [/quote]
