[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is going to admit that they use or ignore one or more of their kids, so this thread is kinda pointless. [/quote]

I'm op. That's not what I asked, at all. [/quote]

No one is going to admit what you asked, either. People on this board are way too sanctimonious to admit any failures. No one is going to say, "yeah, I think I had one too many kids."[/quote]

I have had MANY parents of 3 corner me to tell me to knock it off after 2 and that a 3rd is a losing proposition.  People on this board actually did confirm that's not uncommon.[/quote]

This seems crazy to me. I have 3 and not only do I genuinely really love our family size but I can’t imagine pulling people aside to whisper warnings about the challenges of 3. Not once has a mom of 4+ cornered me to tell me it’s a terrible idea to have more. Is this seriously happening to people?

Anyway, to the OPs question, I do not feel that I have any less of a bond with my youngest. They are all such unique people and we bond in different ways. [/quote]

I have. It’s usually when parents with one less talk about maybe having another and the friend with that many says “our last one really put us over the edge!” Or parents say things like, “After kid x we just had to embrace the chaos!” or “after kid two I could never keep up with the laudnry’l stuff like that.
