[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are a little older than yours. I feel like I grieved that already because I didn’t want a big age gap with kids and just decided to move forward. I will say now my kids are teens, I’m glad I stopped at 2. Things are much busier these days and I don’t think I could have given as much quality time to 3 kids. I can put a lot of focus on my 2. I also have a friend who has a really hard time with her third - to the point it makes her life so much more difficult. So sometimes if you get 2 great kids, just try to be happy with that.[/quote]

It is interesting how often it’s the last kid that requires an outsized amount of the parents time, money and energy. I don’t have stats on this but it sure feels that way. I can think of several families where they had “just one more kid” and this became true.[/quote]

I have 4 and it’s my second , now 11.5, who has been our most challenging. Our fourth required speech therapy and has developmental delays, but my second. Oof. He ran away last year, talked of suicide, was deeply affected by a mass shooting in our area and we rearranged our whole lives to address this - therapies, homeschooling and eventually moving states.
