[quote=Anonymous]There’s been a few threads lately about parenting three kids that have some really interesting insights I’d like to explore. Basically, the idea that you have to do things differently to raise 3 rather than 1 or 2 if you want to keep your sanity. Perhaps being a bit more chill. Built into this was the idea that some parents of three are still parenting like they have a small family and that’s making it much harder for them to manage.

This strikes me as potentially true, but I could also see it going the other way. That having systems and structure might be MORE necessary to keep the chaos under control with three.

I’m interested in hearing from people who have 3, or know other families well who have three, and can speak to this. What’s working, out there in the trenches, and what’s not? Who feels like they successfully made the leap from 2 to 3, shifted to a more chill approach, and found a good balance? Particularly interested in families where both parents work (though not necessarily full time). Who has observed patterns in the families of 3+ they know?[/quote]
