My family are out to drive me crazy.

I hope that this is the right place for this.
 
I am not a multi-generation player, before generations I was bored by the time my kids turned into teens and had skilled all they needed to. I seem to micro manage my families, which can cause craziness all on its own.  
 
I love generations because of the new interactions it makes it more fun to have a family. This time I made my couple in CAS with a toddler to get me a headstart learning the new interactions and I quickly fell in love with them. Then a wish popped up for another child, so I granted themand we had another little boy who was simply adorable, I managed to raise this family of 4 without using cheats, so when another wish for a child popped up I granted that too, hoping for a little girl but I always leave these things to nature.
 
The dad was in the medical career and a high enough level to be able to tell the babies gender, and he said it was a girl yay again.  
 
Now this is where my family decided to play games with me, the mother never once watch kids tv, neither has fertility ltr and nothing in this world except dumb luck caused this, but she popped out three baby girls. So now I have a boy child, a baby boy one day from becoming a toddler and triplets!
 
I am going to hire a butler and hope that somehow we all survive with our sanity intact until the girls are children.  
 
I love this little family but there's no way that I can handle triplets without using cheats but my game seems to take away all free will if I dare make needs static.
 
So, I decided this family is out to drive me completely crazy!

I sympathize, because triplets happened to me once and they drove me crazy! Get the butler, at least he watches the babies, cooks and does laundry!

I am going to get Generations today, I've never tried having babies in my families because I am going to be serious, I lose patient fast! Am a red-head, I have a low temper. But if I did get Twis or Triplets, I would considerate a gift.  That hardly happens.

the fun thing about generations is the fact you can adjust the length of each age period.  On my game I have baby set to 1 day, toddler to 4 and everything else almost normal.  that way the kids don't drive me completely crazy.. only mostly crazy.

I've had a lot of success with large families.  Here are a couple of articles I wrote for Carl's Guide that may be helpful:

Watch kids - babies they did decent but toddlers were a disaster.
Cook - usually get the addicted to cooking type, 10 meals a day and having all cupboards filled with processormade babyfood
Laundry - seen some pick op clothes or get stuff out of dryer at best but even if all hampers are full but none of them have put clothes in the washing machine EVER. 

Ive given up on butlers as they always been more disruptive then helpful in my families, same with maids and nanny's. And im sure the engine giving them kleptomaniac trait by default

Oh, Pam! Wonderful stories. Raising a big family is big work but it can be done. Maybe I could try to keep my patience high. At least, that helped me and inspired me.

@TrickStar: Too bad about your butler. My Butler had the traits - hopeless Romantic; family oriented; genius; natural cook; handy and I forget the others- so he was a great asset. At Parties, my sim would ask him to cook and he'd make Lobster, then Key lime pie for the guests. He also was quite flirty, so she was never lonely when hubby was at work.
