[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 7 and am a military spouse. We do not live on post so I don’t have that support base that comes from living close together.  My older don’t raise my younger, and my standards may be lower with regards to cleaning the house but certainly not with regards to reading to and educating them. My older kids are quite accomplished even in DCUM land. 
I gave up a career and not really sure how you could do it and work unless your employer was extremely flexible. Just sick days, school days off, and appointments would all make me a terrible employee. 
When my kids were young, I kept a very scheduled house. Otherwise I just did it. I agree it’s sometimes easier when the spouse is gone. I have fond memories of tossing a blanket on the living room floor and having picnics instead of spending an hour cooking a meal the little ones wouldn’t eat anyways. [/quote]

But you can't disagree that educating 7 kids vs 2 is a whole different ballgame. Even if you had 8 hours in the day they won't get as much time.[/quote]
