[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry.  When our kids were 3 and twin 1 year olds it was rough.  This year with a 4 year old and twin 2 year olds life is getting easier.  Here are some things that we did to help.

1. We hire a neighborhood teen once a month and go out to dinner.
2. I continued to work full time, but I stepped way back from my career.  I moved to a flexible position where I could telework frequently and leave on time.  Teleworking has made a huge difference for us b/c I am able to do stuff like laundry and grocery shopping during the day and it is not all cramned into the weekends.
3. We alternate who gets up with the kids during the night.
4. Outsource as much as possible-- I do amazon prime instead of going to Target, etc.
5. Lower your standards for the cleanliness of the house, kids, etc.  (ie kids don't need to bathe every day).  
6. Try to show each other grace.   Just this weekend DH was acting kind of ridiculous (IMHO) about not getting time to himself.  I loaded up all the kids to run an errand, that stopped at the playground on the way home to give him some more time.  He apologized when we got home for his behaviour.
