[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think they hire help and don't really even see their kids that much, so they don't think about it being a big deal...[/quote]

That’s not at all what I see. We have three as do lots of our friends. One of ours has special needs. We had daycare and sometimes we had a cleaner, but not usually. Most of the people we know had a similar level of help. We spend lots of time with our kids and we had them because we love kids. I never thought it was that hard. [/quote]

How many hours do you each work per week? What do you do for childcare? I frankly see from everyone that I know that if you have more than two kids you have to have one parent that has a very flexible and or no job. That is if you want to spend any time at all with them. Your mileage may vary.[/quote]

Absolutely this.  Every family with more than 2 kids that I know - with two full time working parents - has EXTENSIVE help with childcare.  If not, and there are more than 2 kids, one parent has a very flexible job or no job.  There's nothing wrong with childcare - I use it for my 2 - but these are just the facts.  I can name 20 families with 3 off the top of my head and every one of them fits into this category (many more into the latter - one spouse with very flexible and/or no job).[/quote]
