[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do many kids that you can’t handle? This is not healthy.[/quote]

Op here - yes I realize that. I am trying to handle all of them by myself (terribly I might add) but my postpartum depression is making it worse fueled by the quarantine and global pandemic. [/quote]

Oh that's so very hard. It was always going to be a hard time with a newborn and that spacing with the oldest kids. You need help. Yes it's more risk but you guys are drowning and your mental health is important. Start looking for a live out nanny. Even let time. Plenty of daycare teachers currently laid off. Verify that they live alone or with only a small family and are also being responsible and have them come in at least half a day every day so you can focus on your baby and sleep while the older ones are outside or engaged. 
Today just let it be tv and snacks. Lay out a tray of goldfish and apple slices and blueberries (whatvwr the 3 year old won't choke on) and veg by the tv. Vary the tv with cartoons and some sort of nature program from Netflix as those are a little calmer. Order dinner out. Have a pretend tea party (use little tea set and water). Put the older ones in the tub with some toys and bubbles and sit on the side of the tub. 
They're acting out because of the baby and with the quarantine on top it's hard for them too. 
Hugs. [/quote]
