[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 and both of us work full time. One job is fully remote and the other is in office just a couple times a week but also very flexible. They are 9, 11, and 14. Kids are all neurotypical. We have no family nearby and we do not outsource anything except major house repairs. We split responsibilities including cooking.

House is very organized so everything has a place. We live near every thing we need to get to, walk to school and metro, and 5 min drive to groceries, doctors, etc. We teach the kids to be super independent early on so at this point, we don’t do anything for them to get ready for school or bed.  Chores are still haphazardly done but that has more to do with travel sport schedules than unwillingness to do them. Their school had done a good job teaching them to keep track of their work and do their homework without reminding or help.

The most challenging part is getting them to their travel sports commitments but all music classes are done online to save on commute time. All other activities are only done if there is a nearby option. Older kid can take public transport alrdy so that helps a lot.

The most overwhelming part right now is not the logistics, it’s their constant bickering! They love and play hard, but they also fight hard! Hubby and I work out almost every day and I think that helps give us the mental and physical energy to keep up with them.

I would have more kids but hubby is done and financially, that’s the right decision.
