Vogue Williams says managing family logistics is the most difficult thing she is finding about life with four children, and hopes a new digital calendar will help her, husband Spencer Matthews and their nanny coordinate their schedules.
Podcaster and former star of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Vogue Williams has admitted to making a major family decision after revealing that one part of parenting was particularly challenging.
Vogue, 41, shares four children with former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, 38: Theodore, seven, Gigi, six, Otto, four, and Remy Valentine, who arrived last month.
Since then, both Vogue and Spencer, who have been married since 2018, have continued to work hard on their various but very different media projects. In a recent episode of the podcast she co-hosts with her sister Amber, Vogue spoke about some of the realities of being a mother of four.
Speaking on an episode of the podcast, called Vogue & Amber, Vogue confessed that the hardest part was keeping track of everything to do with the children, reports the Irish Mirror.
She said: “As a mother of four, and I know lots of people are mothers of four, I would say the one, most difficult thing, I’m finding is the logistics of everything.
“We have four parties this weekend, four, and so whenever the parties come in, I straight away buy the present and it gets wrapped and it gets put upstairs and put away so we’re ready for the party.”
Nevertheless, Vogue acknowledged that while they can be highly organised when another party invitation arrives, there’s an enormous amount to manage. She continued: “And it’s all written down, but then we might mess up the date or something like that.”
However, Vogue has come up with a solution to the problem of keeping track of everything in her life: a massive digital calendar featuring all the family’s individual and group engagements.
She explained: “We have a nanny here and she doesn’t…we haven’t synced up diaries, so this is how everything is going to be synced. So Spenny can see I’m up here doing a podcast…In future, somebody will be there to hold the baby when…so everybody’s in the calendar.
“And you can put all things that you have to remember, like you need to go and buy this for this person and like this person’s doing hockey this day. I think it’s going to change my life.”
However, Vogue isn’t alone in speaking about the challenges of being a parent to so many children, with husband Spencer also addressing the immense change.
Speaking to fellow media personality Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, Spencer spoke about the system he and Vogue had to develop soon after the baby was born.
He said: “We have four kids, so there needs to be a system in place for us both to be out of action, for us to have big broken sleep is unhelpful to the rest of the family flow.
“So right now, the system is Vogue and baby sleep in a big room, double bed on their own, and Vogue manages the night feed and does that just her and the child.”
He added: “We don’t sleep next to each other. I’m out. I’m working. Vogue’s more at home at the moment. I come home in the evening, and we might have an hour together.”
