Try not to worry so much! When I asked my friend about how to handle 3 she gave me this advice "lower your standards". It sounds like that should be against the rules and society tells us we should be able to do everything. I would change it slightly to: evaluate your priorities. That bathroom will still be there, the dishes will wait for you, and the kitchen floor isn't THAT sticky. Don't let the things that never stay done make you miss making a memory with your children. You also need to realize that children need to learn to share (even sharing mommy time) and a little crying is actually good for them. We live in a world of instant gratification, living in a multiple child family teaches patience, thinking of others, conflict resolution... the list goes on and on! You are giving your children wonderful opportunities!
