[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you have a third kid when you are barely surviving?[/quote]

Ugh. OP please ignore these trolls or they will take over the thread. [/quote]

No, it's a fair question.[/quote]

Why is it a fair question? Do you need the answer to formulate a helpful response to his question of what more he can do to help his wife? Of course you don't. What's the point of the question? The point is that you are superior, and to make the poster feel worse than he currently does. Is that your job? You sound like a self righteous ass. I cannot stand people like you. Get off your high horse. I guarantee you if we examined your life we could find TONS of decisions and actions that could be called questionable. [/quote]

I get that it makes people uncomfortable, but it IS a fair question, and I say that as a parent. Too many people don't ask themselves this question and just assume that it will all work out somehow. Others consider the risks of having another child when one of theirs is already showing signs of needing extra help (autism diagnosis wasn't known till well into pregnancy but ASD diagnosis of middle child seems to have been known). I've had many friends in this type of situation ask themselves whether it is fair to their existing kid(s) to have another (and some decide it is). Regardless, OP is clearly a thoughtful person and gave a reasoned answer, so we can now move on.[/quote]
