[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think many - I’ve seen 2 vs 3, 3 vs 4. I’m in the thick of it with the teen years, so I’ll remind you that when on message boards, a lot of the parents are still in the younger phases. Those are challenging in their own way but the years are long, and the issues get more complex as your children grow up. Nursing, the toddler tantrums and jugging preschoolers is hard but so is handling social media, backtalk, extracurriculars, sex and (hopefully this doesn’t happen for you) alcohol or substance abuse or mental illness or some of the many other issues I’ve seen fellow teen parents struggle with. Another thing to keep in mind is that your body might not cooperate even if you want more kids. I wanted 4 but my last pregnancy was very very rough and I had to call it quits at 3. Totally ok with that decision, but just realize that not everything we want as a parent is under our control. Try to take it step by step and be open to changing your mind.[/quote]
