Quick question

Mornin everyone.......

For those who parent more than one how do you do it? I am a single momma of one and I just can't imagine having another one.....its been kinda hard. HOW DO YOU DO IT PEOPLE? I should also mention i am over 40 and maybe that's why i have no extra energy? please share.

I have a unique situation that isn't suitable for everyone. I share a house with my parents. I have a full house/apartment in the basement and they have a full house upstairs. They are retired and watch my kids when I am working. It took some getting used to, but works out great for us! If I didn't have my current living situation, I would have to have a live-in nanny because I am on call some evenings and weekends.
