This Mum, 34, has revealed her rigorous daily regimen, which begins at 4 a.m. every day. See the reason

Parenting is difficult, especially if you have ten children. Mum Tracee Schaeffer, 34, has revealed her rigorous daily regimen, which begins at 4 a.m. every day and keeps her organized.

Dahlila, 14, Beau, 13, Ryan, 12, Scarlett, 11, Tootie, 9, Wyatt, 8, Rhett, 8, Rhiggs, 8, Remy, 6, and Ausy, 3, are her children with her husband Justin, 40.

The mother also homeschools some of her kids while running Pop Culture Agency, which assists women entrepreneurs with their web presence.

Tracee decides to get up at 4am, two hours earlier than the kids, so she can have a quiet moment before the commotion.

She explained: ‘On a regular day, I get up about 4 a.m., and that’s when I take care of myself by doing things like meditating and preparing the house.

Because I spent the previous school year at home all day home-educating Dahlila, Beau, and Ryan, it is also when I usually get a lot of work done for my job.

‘I wake them up at 6 a.m. for school, and while I’m making breakfast, everyone has their morning tasks.

‘After that, I gave the hens food and water and let them out of the coop to roam about. They all make their beds, clean their rooms, and brush their teeth.’

I used to drive Scarlett, Tootie, Wyatt, Rhett, Rhiggs, and Remy to school, then spend around four and a half hours teaching them at home. However, starting next year, I’ll only be teaching Ryan at home, so the routine will alter.

After that, I start making dinner, and we pick up the other children from school, after which they all do their schoolwork and eat.

We then go for hockey practice at 5 o’clock because all of the children, with the exception of Dahlila and Ausy, are hockey players.

We won’t be back until eight, so when they return, I make sure they’re all showered and attempt to get them to bed by nine.

Then we repeat the process. Tracee attributes the organization of the home to the chore lists she has for each child.

She uttered: ‘Apart from Remy and Ausy, everyone has a primary task, and Dahlila’s is laundry, thus she is in charge of that.

‘We typically stay quite caught up because she does two loads a day, and right now Ryan is in charge of doing the dishes after dinner.

‘Every three to four months, I attempt to switch up everyone’s primary responsibilities so they may each pick up a new task and assume a little bit more responsibility.

‘Everybody has the same morning tasks to complete, so they must all tidy up their rooms, make their beds, put away their toys, and other duties.

The implementation of this approach has taken many years, but having a chart with a to-do list is quite beneficial, especially if you have neurodivergent children, like some of my own.’
