I've ever asked my friends the same question. Their responses were: doing their best and managing expectations. Time management is key but sometimes, non-existent. With two (or more) children, their napping schedules may be different. What used to be "doing work at home" time when one child is sleeping/napping becomes hard to come by when the second one comes along. A lot of them ended up doing work in the wee hours of the night as their day time is spent doing household chores and attending to their children. Hence, managing expectations and not expecting 100% but just doing their best is their main strategy. They also organized the tasks so that they know what is of higher priority and needs to be completed once any spare pockets of time come up. One more tip is having good friends/neighbours/relatives who can help babysit for a few hours always help. Also, playdates offer the much needed interactions and exchange of tips and a chance to vent.
