I too just moved here from the US and I can feel your pain. I have 4 kids and it's a lot of work, I can't imagine having 6! But I will tell you that something that has helped me immensely is hiring a nanny. It is more help than you can imagine! I put an ad on this site and received many responses and interviewed the applicants and picked one. She is more of a mother's helper than the typical house maid that is so common here. This is one of the reasons I was encouraged to move here, since this kind of help is a luxury that most can't afford in the US. Try to talk to your husband into this, you will be happier and so will he! Good luck and do try to come to one of the playgroups as Expat Sueno suggested. I am planning on going to one of the playgroups too, but I am still trying to get settled myself, as I have only been here for a couple of weeks.
