[quote=Anonymous]I had four, then divorced, then married someone with two, so now have six. When you have two it's "man on man." Two legs, two babies - everyone fits in your lap. You can verbally calm one down while physically helping the other. When there are three, you're outnumbered. Instead of mostly giving individual attention and occasionally group direction, that flips around to the opposite. When our third was born, we had to be very careful to not put the oldest in charge or let them "parent" the younger ones, and be very careful to make sure every child got individual attention. Yesterday I read that someone with a big family had Notes in their phone with her kids birthdays, etc. I'm not quite that bad, but I do have all their shoe sizes and clothing sizes in Notes, as well as a couple of other things along those lines.[/quote]
