Certainly not everyone is suited to deal crying, fighting, upteam diaper changes etc. In my opinion things do get better. Much better. If you are suited. Good luck. I'm sure the other girls will have more input than I do.
Yes, and I don't do anything that takes longer than about 10 minutes to prep uninterrupted, all that work just to have them either not care or not finish isn't worth it.

My first thought was also that you took on a full group really fast. I wonder if that is part of it. I also took on each of mine gradually, about 2 months between each new addition. Gave me time to get used to the additional child, before another one started.
