Does anyone have 3 kids and work full time?

This is one of the things scaring me the most. I can't even get to work on time with 2.

My sister has 4 and works full time and always has. She has someone come to her which is a big help. That might be something for you to think about too.

My mom did - she seemed to do it effortlessly, but when you talk to her now, she said it was difficult! Alot of running around - she is a college professor, so her hours were slightly flexible, but she did it - I always remember having home cooked meals with everyone at the table - again, I don't know how she did it b/c I am working full time and only have one child and find it difficult! She said she never thought about how difficult it was, she just did what she needed to do.

No idea but my mom did. But we had a nanny to help since my dad worked full time as well.

I worked full time when my girls were younger. I worked up until the twins were in 1st grade and then switched to a part time schedule....

You adjust...develope a routine...you'll do just fine.

I have 3 and work full time. My oldest just turned 4, then 2 and 4 months. I just went back to work a few a weeks ago. Its tough but not impossible. I am lucky in that I work from home 3 days a week. When I am home the baby is with me and my older 2 are in daycare. The days I go into the city are long days for everyone. We need to be out of the house my 7:10. My DH drops off and picks up since I don't get home until at least 7. My DH is great which really helps. By the time I get home he usually has the kids fed and bathed. We are finally getting into a routine but I feel like if we stop for a second to take a break, we will fall off course. I have lists everywhere, my mind is always turning, and I am exhausted, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

My Brother and SIL have 4 kids and they both work full time. Their kids range from ages 8 to 4. Somehow they do it, with no help. They are very organized, I think that helps alot. Hang in there
