But I think have three kids is way harder than having two.  The transition to three was easy, actually having them, less so.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]

I’m not the pp, but I didn’t find anything as disruptive to my work, my marriage, my free time, and my friendships as having our first child.  Having my second or third didn’t really change those things much.  But the day to day is difficult with three.  They egg each other on, there is less free time, there is more laundry and cooking, etc.  [/quote]

I’m the PP, and yeah, pretty much this.  The dynamics frequently shift with three, the laundry is a lot more, the schedule coordinating gets to be a lot, etc.—and our kids weren’t even in a lot of activities BC.

The hardest part is the dynamics, IME.  With two kids, you have their dynamic.  More than that, and it’s the multiple, often shifting ones that becomes really challenging.  My kids are all talkers, too, so that’s a lot of voices wanting to be heard.[/quote]
