[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 2, 3, 9, 22. Since the oldest 3 have big age gaps, I felt like going from 2 to 3 was fairly easy since my older daughter was already a working college student and her needs were taken care of mostly by her. My second was 6 and also slightly independent when our 3rd was born. She could get dressed, eat, go to the bathroom alone etc now when 4th was born, 3rd was 17 months and it was tough for me since I had never had two little ones. I did notice laundry was crazier, so were dishes and housework since it was always a mess from my 3rd. Money was also going fast. Since my 3rd was a boy he got a lot of blue stuff and “boy” things. I had also given away a lot of newborn/baby stuff. And the biggest money issue for us was our car. When I was pregnant with our 3rd we bought a nice mid size Audi SVU. When 4th was born, we had to get a minivan to make things easier. Our Audi was about $50,000 and was barely paid off when we got our minivan. My husband also had his work car and I had my work car. We ended up keeping the Audi and giving my oldest daughter my car and she sold her 2009 Toyota. So for a while we 5 cars! 
Also space was an issue for us. When 3rd was born we were in a 2 bedroom apartment then me moved into a 3 bedroom townhome shortly after 4th was born so money has probably been the biggest issue for us 
Anyway, things are getting better now since our 3rd & 4th will be in full time daycare [/quote]
