[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not! Our life with kids 6, 3 and 1 is insane but it is an adventure that we brought on as a couple and we will survive it. My parents did and they are crazily happy after 40 years. [/quote]

Did your parents also have 3 kids?

And maybe one of the reasons you're so happy is that you have an extended family to help out with childcare. Being able to unwind and reconnect even just a couple hours a week makes a HUGE difference to a marriage. Otherwise you just realize more and more the things you can't stand about the other person.

We have kids 5, 3, 1 and we absolutely talk about divorcing. No family in the country to help at all though. It's hard.[/quote]

PP- yes they did have three kids with the same age differences as ours. They both had careers so I’m sure they faced tons of stress. They only live near us a few months of the year and they do baby sit once in awhile which is a real gift. When growing up I never heard them argue and they always seemed to be on the same wave length on just about everything. I think what has helped is that my dad has always had tremendous respect for my mother’s intelligence and that has created a wonderful relationship on many levels. [/quote]
