[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 and live in a MC suburban neighborhood. It does seem like more MC people around me are having 3. I imagine a lot of this has to do with where we live; very family friendly, more affordable but safe, strong community etc.

This is just to say, while wealthy people may also be having 3 or 4 and can afford to in major metro areas, I think other groups are also doing this by settling in areas where they can comfortably raise 3 kids. [/quote]

Without family help or a SAHP, 3 kids is a ton of work and stress, anywhere you live. [/quote]

I actually don’t feel this way. Kids are always work but I genuinely don’t feel super stressed by raising 3. I live in a much more low key area than the DC metro area though. Where we live there isn’t a lot of pressure to do private school, extra tutoring, daily scheduled activities etc. I’m sure it would be very stressful trying to do all of this without a lot of support or money [/quote]

Not sure the ages of your kids but we are still in the phase of never getting enough sleep because at least one kid is waking up.  Mine are baby, preschooler, and K.  I do love having 3 and wouldn’t change it though.[/quote]
