Tips and tricks for Big families

We have 6 people in our family! It's always a race or a competition who sits where, who sits by who, etc....so I have a tip....and I'm open to other ideas as well.

When Kameron (now 4) was a baby the other 3 kids always fought over who got to sit by him at meal time. So, I would alternate days on the calendar and whoever's "day" it was, got to sit by the high chair. So, a few months ago I remembered that when the kids were always fighting over who sits by dad! Yeah, I know--not me...oh well....it is what it is....I birthed them and feed them and wait on then and make sure they have what then need, but there's no denying it....they ALL 4 like dad better....'cause he's fun and nice and I'm mean and enforce things and am a disciplinarian! So, we alternate days on the calendar....then when it's their "day" they get to set the table too.....AND they get to decide who sits where! They LOVE this! And, honestly, sometimes I'm not consistent--like tonight for example....haven't really been writing on the calendar lately....so I asked who wanted to set the table....it was literally a RACE as to who answered first.....they actually wanted to set the table b/c then they are the ones who gets to tell everyone else where to sit!!! Wish I had thought of this YEARS ago....they WANT to help!!!!

Ok....for my first blogging day, I kinda went on Post overload! Will anyone really read this stuff??
