A mum-of-six copes with her huge family by wearing earplugs to drown out her kids and only allocating them a single cup and bowl each to cut on washing up. Sharon Johnson, 36, has mastered ways to make life less chaotic with children, Lusilia, 12, Sophia, 10, Pratt, nine, Coop, seven, Philp, six, and Nadine, three.
She limits screentime to just one hour a week, and gives each child a chore they have to do for an entire year. They all have one cup and plate each to keep on top of washing up, and save on cupboard space, and one colour-coded robe dressing gown to keep laundry to a minimum.
The family also has a weekly rotating dinner schedule which stays the same each week - where they each choose a meal. And to take the edge off, Sharon admits she wears earplugs in the evenings to get some much-needed peace and quiet before bedtime.
