[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If [b]the baby often takes the entire focus of the adults[/b] in the situation I don't think it would be wise to add 2 additional kids to the mix, that's asking for trouble. You will have 5 kids to supervise and pacify instead of 3. I would hold off on friends until baby is older, or if you can bring a sitter for the baby, so you cam have time to enjoy the other kids. Just by 2 cents.[/quote] I agree with all of this. My first thought as a parent of an infant and 2 older kids is that the infant should not be taking the entire focus of 2 adults either way (although I totally understand how it happens). Or even the entire focus of 1 adult, if you are in charge of other kids-- that's just part of being a third baby, and often they turn out better for it. If the 5 month old is esp. difficult, you and Grandma may just have to forgo the conversation and even get cooking over the campfire... [/quote]
