[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 :D  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 said something similar to people before. I say it for fun and I am not serious. It’s usually when people say “wow! You have 3 kids! You must be so busy!” My answer is sometimes “I know! Don’t do it! Ahahahah” 
It’s never in a serious conversation with people I am close to. I actually love having 3, I am close to all 3 and I think not focusing exclusively on one kid is good for them (and for me).

It’s really funny how much hate and criticism parents of 3 get on this board. It’s never the parents of 3 that criticize the choice of having one or 2, but always the other way around…. I guess we are just happier with our decision  :D (or busier)[/quote]
