[quote=Anonymous]We have two children and I'd like a third. DH absolutely does not want another, primarily because he doesn't feel like he'd be able to give 3 children the attention he feels he can give two.

So I'm just wondering, if you do have a third (or more), how do you give them enough of your time and attention? Family outings? One on one time with each kid routinely? It would help to know how old your children are and whether either parent stays at home and just how you manage to juggle. I know it won't provide an answer for us and that "enough" is relative, but I'm just looking for perspective. I have only one friend with more than 2 (her third pregnancy ended up to be twins) and she's said its a struggle for her with her children being so close in age and the oldest (around 6 or 7) is frequently waiting for her turn because the littler ones need more attention.

For what its worth, I'm one of four kids and DH has a half sib 7 yrs younger so we have different experiences.[/quote]
