[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]B-ish.  Try not to sit at home as much but tag along with the fun older kid stuff with baby in tow.  Agree with PP, had a 4th, love them more than the 3rd. Not the child themselves, but their fit in the family, etc.   3rd almost broke us but so glad we had another to complete the fam. [/quote]

For the sake of the well-being (mental and physical health and otherwise) of everyone in your family I’m glad these choices ended up working for you but I cannot imagine feeling like having a third child almost “broke” the family and then deciding that adding another soul is the right choice. Russian roulette seems less risky.[/quote]

He was a hard baby for the first 6 months.  That is all.  Very very hard. Not for my older children, they absolutely adored him but it was a struggle for my husband and I.  I’m not an idiot here. We knew we were strong enough to handle another rough baby patch if that is what happened with the fourth.  Do I think another hard 6 months would be worth it for the years of love and enjoyment beyond that? Yes.  Luckily for us the fourth has been a joy as a baby but even if not my family would be just fine. No, I do not think Russian roulette is quite the same.  I’m going to assume you are in camp D with your snarkiness.  Thanks for your judgment ?[/quote]
