I wouldn't say it was easier but they do tend to entertain each other. I am finding the older the kids get the easier some things are getting.. Like going out to places ect. Shopping is still a pain but thats because I swear my kids are out to make shopping hell but we try not to shop when all 4 kids are home or DH does the groceries on his own.

I will admit I wasn't prepared for the amount of washing and dishes. I am hoping as the kids get older they will start to help out or eventually we will have a dishwasher so I won't have to look at a sink full of dishes,.

but it does get easier in some ways because I think you relax more
