[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry people are ripping on you. I get your question. I have friends who felt "outnumbered" once thy had 3 because when they had 2 they were in a situation where they almost always had 2 parents with 2 kids. Both parents work, both parents come home at the same time each night, leave at the same time in the morning, rarely travel unless grandma comes in to help, etc. So they never got used to being one adult with 2 kids --- until the third came along. For us, the adjustment from 1 kid to 2 was much harder than from 2 to 3, because I was often alone with my 2 kids (DH works long hours) and when DH was home, I'd be more likely to say "see ya!" and let him put both to bed, feed both dinner, etc. So we both learned how to handle kids in a situation in which we were not one-on-one early on.[/quote]
