[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anybody who says that 3 kids is harder as they get older.  I'll be honest, there was a particular period in their babyhood where I seriously wondered if I had gone mad having 3.  Now they are older - all are in school - and it's great.  They are so much fun to be with, even my middle schooler.  Seeing their love for each other (don't get me wrong, they fight like crazy sometimes) is even better.

The only downside to 3 is that travel becomes logistically harder - we just graduated to paying more for giant hotel suites or two rooms - and everything is more expensive.  That said, I wouldn't trade it at all. [/quote]

How on earth did you all fit into one hotel room up until this point? We have three 9-6 and we have needed two rooms or a suite for  years now.

I love my older kids, but sometimes I miss the pure sweetness of m babies/toddlers. It does get busy, we have 5 soccer practices in three days and my husband is out of town so I'm doing it all solo. Staying on top of homework, reading time/night and putting good meals on the table etc is busy. I worry more about my parenting now than I ever did when they were so young ~ am I giving them the tools that they will need to be happy? Will they make good choices here in the next few years as they approach adolescence? I never, ever, regret having three. I love it. [/quote]

Not the PP. My kids are ages 17 to 8 and we still only get one hotel room. Everyone just puts their things away. Sometimes we take sleeping bags because they like to sleep on the floor. But we've never had trouble sharing space.

I think there are so many more things to worry about and the consequences of decisions can be so much bigger - both good and bad. But I love having three. If they weren't so expensI've I'd probably have had more. [/quote]
