A friend came from a very large family. I asked him how his parents coped. He said once you get beyond the first number of kids, it basically runs itself.
The first kid requires X attention. The second kid adds 0.7X. Then the third is like 0.3X, for a total of 2X. As you have more kids, the older ones can look after the younger ones. The amount of work actually goes down. You are basically the supervisor / police.
