[quote=Anonymous]I have three and wanted three, but of course having two would be easier! Grocery bills higher. Medical and orthodontics costs increase. College savings requirements higher. Just the after school activities alone can be difficult to handle, even if you allow only one middle school aged child a sport and instrument each. Each spring sport is at least two practices and game a week - per kid. Add on a tutoring session if necessary, daily piano practice and a weekly lesson. Now try to throw in birthday sleepovers, play dates, managing chores and homework. It's a wonderful chaos but it's a lot. My biggest issue at this point (kids are all elementary or older) is the higher cost of traveling, which we love to do. We no longer fit into a single taxi, have to book at least two hotel rooms, and even restaurant tables usually have to be pushed together once you have more than a group of four.[/quote]
