Take control of your kids by setting rules and explaining consequences. If you go out and one or more misbehave, go home immediately and don't allow them out in public until they can behave themselves. If they aren't listening to you, then stop talking and start acting. Time out or naughty chair, no treats, no tv, being put to bed, all of these are things you can control. You have a handful of kids, where is your husband in all this? He should be reinforcing the family rules to have consistency.
Be sure you are telling them that their behavior is not acceptable, not that they are bad. Don't yell, that only tells them that you are out of control. Speak firmly and quietly. Stick to punishments you can actually do, don't threaten bed time right after dinner and bath, unless you can stick to it. Good luck.

I would like to know the answer to this one too. Time outs don't work every time for me. Might try a few things from one of the other answers. Good luck on yours.
