[quote=Anonymous]Theee kids that are 9,11 and 13. I agree with the PP who said it was much easier to manage when they were 1,3 and 5. The schedule was more set and they were in daycare and kindergarten. The crazy schedule we have now is because we allow them to participate in activities. It could be just as calm schedule wise if we’d said no to everything and they just came home from school like they did at 1,3,5. Two play travel sports and the other plays a different rec sport each season.

We enjoy the activities and they love them. As a result, our travel is pretty much to family (none local) and for sports. Yes, we have to divide and conquer a lot and it it is chaotic. We have to prioritize what’s most important to us and can’t do it all.

The people I know with 3 kids (of similar ages of mine), appear to have it “together,” and checking off your boxes, have local family that provide a lot of support.  They help with before/after school care, shuttling kids and being able to take 1 for the weekend all 3 have activities at the same time. [/quote]
