If you’re overwhelmed at the idea of taking care of 3 kids by yourself on weekends (and understandably so), then unless your husbamd’s Schedule is going to drastically change, it seems illogical to have another kid.  Why make your life even harder?[/quote]

Kids are babies for a very short time. Three kids over age 5 are easy to manage. Have the third![/quote]

Sorry but I don't agree with this at all.  My three kids are SO busy on the weekends, so I'm lucky that my husband works fewer hours now on the weekend than he did when they were younger.  With three kids, even one sport or activity a season can really add up - we often have three games and practices in a single weekend day plus church and class birthday parties.  That's exhausting for one parent to handle solo, and I find carpools are harder arrange on the weekends because that's family time for many people.  I suppose if you were the type of family who doesn't do organized sports or other activities, it could be easier because your children could be each other's playmates, but that certainly isn't the norm for kids in my area on the weekends.

Think carefully about a third unless your husband's schedule will change.[/quote]
