[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had the third.  The main reason I wanted a third was because my mom kept saying that my (now) middle child is just like me.  Well, I don't get along that great with my mom.  We're not estranged or anything, she just really gets on my nerves, which limits the amount of time we spend together.  I could not possibly live near her, and I will be forever grateful to my brother because he can.  If my (now) middle child continues to be just like me and wants a more distant relationship with me as an adult, then it would be sad to have only one other child.  Of course, you get what you get, but in my case, it worked out great.  The youngest is a sweet family-loving dear, and the oldest continues to be easy-going and respectful.  My (now) middle child is definitely the most challenging, but I feel that I can accept the challenges a little more gracefully than I would if I only had two children.        [/quote]

THIS! I feel the same way. Almost like I want to have a bond with more than one child, but often times there is one child that may be more distant or difficult. Also, having 3 gives you more of a chance to have different personalities in the mix.[/quote]
