[quote=Anonymous]It depends a lot on the kids, so similar to two in many ways. Every kid is different but you are more confident in your parenting and you’ve dealt with various shades of things so you are able to navigate more adeptly with three. My children are close in age, best friends, and helped each other socially in school. I also put them in the same sports so that made practice schedules and college recruiting easier. With respect to college, it’s easier with each kid in the sense that you know what to expect and are better equipped to navigate the process. Also, each kid can see how their siblings’ deal with success and disappointment and that can be instructive. I think two kids spaced far apart is harder than three close in age. And one is hard because I assume the child feels a lot of pressure to be successful and probably feels like a failure if they can’t measure up. My friends who are singletons all underachieved and now have the burden of dealing with elder care alone. [/quote]
