[quote=Anonymous]Many of our friends have three DC. Ours are very close in age, now teens. DH works a lot and travels a few times a month. I’m hybrid and did travel also until kids in late ES.

Bedtime- we would typically read together with all DC. Same-sex sibs would bathe together. They had to rest in their room until we came in to say good night to each individually. As they got older, bedtimes varied by 30 minutes to an hour and they did more independently. Not an issue if you have a routine.

Travel- we travel every year with DC through the summers and we usually get away either together or separately with friends once a year. Grandparents would help when they were younger. We also do a lot of weekend trips throughout the year. As kids got older, and into more activities, we usually had to divide and conquer.

Kids are all teens now. but it was not loud in our house (most days). After school we went to parks and kids always played outside for a long time.

We did eventually outsource heavy cleaning, and yardwork. Nanny until school age and sitter from 3-6 until oldest in MS.

The kids are all very active. The hardest part is getting kids to their different activities. Carpool is the only way to manage this IMO. We didn’t participate in travel sports until MS.

Honestly, I already miss the younger years. And with the youngest leaving for college in two years, while I look forward to more me time, I am also sad to know my parenting of children is nearly at a close.
