[quote=Anonymous]I don't think a 3rd kid is necessarily the right option for you given that you "barely keep your heads afloat." I mean this kindly because I understand the desire, but you need to be realistic about what your family situation can handle. My three kids are older now (oldest is in middle school) and it can be intense because even though they take care of themselves in a way young children can't, their issues (social pressures, academic challenges, internet/digital use) are more complex and the extracurriculars are a lot to juggle (conflicting sports practices, only two parents for three kids' activities for example). Add to that a husband who travels and two busy working parent schedules and that's a recipe for getting overwhelmed.[/quote]
