Comments on: Daily life with four children under six http://mostleast.com/2008/06/30/coping-with-four-children-under-six/ Whose idea was it to have so many children?

We'll be in the 4 under six boat by January, and I have NOT BEEN HAPPY about the idea; my mother-in-law's insinuations that we're ruining our children's lives by having too many of them is also not helpful. Need cheer! This is honestly the most encouraging thing I’ve read in at least a month.

Second, please don't worry! This post I wrote was partly tongue-in-cheek. While some days with four are hard, for the most part we have wonderful fun and I honestly would love another baby. For me I found it hardest going from one to two children but after that I found each baby fitted in more easily to our family routine. Do you have much in the way of support? My second son has recently been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and I have found so many people willing to help when I have asked. I wish I had asked for that same sort of help when the babies were little. Cut corners where you can while your baby is small and try to get as much sleep as you can. Good luck and let me know how you get on! @going2bmumof4
