Another single and working foster mom here. I have two FC, one 4yo and one 3mo.
I would second that it is manageable, but only when I am totally keeping to my schedule and routine. I also do laundry almost every day. The kids have an early bedtime and go to day care during the day. My job is very flexible which makes it easier to manage all the various appointments I have every week and I have a great group of friends who have embraced my crazy life.
Because the kids are in day care I do feel guilty sometimes they we don't have a lot of time together during the day so I always plan fun things on the weekend. I also try to plan time for me, which sometimes means just sending the kids with a friend while i take a nap or taking advantage of a lunch break with a friend. It all works. My life is busy and full and I wouldn't trade it for anything right now.
