[quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids, been a single parent for 11 years. At that time my kids were 17, 15, 12 and 5. I always worked full time, too depressing to stay home. 
Solution, early morning wake ups. Always was up at 5, did the laundry, washed , folded and ready for ironing.Sunday nights everything that needed ironing got ironed and clothes for the week were hung on hangers, 7 choices per kid.
House was kept clean every day. Kitchen and bathrooms were done daily, floors mopped twice a week. 
Lines changed 2 x a week.
Cleaning lady twice a month .
Fresh food every night, school lunches were made in the morning.
Woke kids at 6:46, breakfast and out for the day. Drove and picked up from school. Kids school ended at 4:30 . I was last in carpool which worked out perfectly.

I always did doctor , dentist etc , somehow things always work out.

Find your self good friends, for night time walks, conversations, coffee ....etc.

Working is good, things get accomplished, at home there is always laundry, meals to be made, things to do, different parts of satisfaction.[/quote]
