Question
My husband and I have four children, 5 and under. My question is more general - when dealing with a large number of small children (and my husbands demanding work schedule), what are realistic expectations of what a centered family should look like? It's obviously quite difficult for my husband and I to have regular date nights. My hobbies (apart from cooking and sewing) are almost nonexistent. I am typically disciplined and my children are generally as well, but with them so close in age (and such a close relationship), things can get out of control fast. Do you have any general words of wisdom?
