…Are you comparing having 3 kids to having 1/2, or having 3 little kids to having 3 big kids?

My 3 are teens now and I think it’s easier than the little kid years, but life is crazy busy! (Which is exactly what we expected…they are a lot of fun and our family has a good time together - lots to look forward to, OP!)[/quote]

[b]It sounds like your kids have zero academic, emotional or friend issues. [/b]Which is lucky and uncommon with 3 kids, unless maybe all are boys? I’d rather potty train 100 kids than deal with teen friend drama. [/quote]

What? Of course that’s not true. But yes, no SN kids which I’m sure makes it an entirely different ballgame. Interestingly my kids seem to be great sources of comfort and perspective to each other when it comes to friend issues - we’re all pretty close as a family and they seem comfortable discussing these issues with DH and I, but have late night talks with each other too. I would say rather than being resource competitors the overall dynamic seems to be mutual enrichment (…I DID wish we had a chauffeur, though, until the oldest started driving themselves!)  [/quote]
