[quote=Anonymous]If you’re completely overwhelmed with the number of kids you currently have, DO NOT ADD ANOTHER. There’s no shame in admitting you’re at (or over) your limit. None. There’s still a ton of logistics and emotional support involved in parenting older kids, even if the butt-wiping and sleep deprivation are less present. We have three but I also never felt overwhelmed with one or two. The only time I’ve felt overwhelmed was during the pandemic when DH and I had zero childcare and three kids at home FT. Now, you might consider paring back some aspect of your life and figuring out how to function more smoothly. But as a parent of three, my advice is to only have a third child if you feel you have ample bandwidth for that third child. If you’re at, close to, or over your limit, don’t do it.[/quote]
