I'm not very good with maths but your numbers have confused me, you're going to have 5, 6 or 4 😂. Maybe you just mean the younger ones will all be under 4?
I had 4 under 5 and it was so crazy. It was like pick your poison every day, a baby, a toddler, a threenager and a crazy four year old. All at once. Get some help, look at things that are going to make your life easier. Get a cleaner, buy frozen meals, use the dryer, use the dishwasher, use daycare. I used to try and make dinner in the mornings so I had all day to clean up after it because that was just not going to happen at night, getting mine to bed was an all night commitment. Get a good night routine and morning routine happening, don't bother with the rest of the day because it will all go out the window. How exciting to be having twins, best of luck. It will be crazy but you won't even realise how crazy it was until the worst is over, then you will be like shit...what was that?!
Can u move to the same area ur partner works, so he can be home regularly to help?
I agree, you need your partner to work closer to home, to come home every night.
