[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the situations where third kids ruin a marriage
You have more than you can handle as it is, by the sound of it, and your marriage doesn't sound too solid either. Enjoy the family you have, work on your marriage. Don't add an innocent baby to the mix.

If this is where you’re at after a second child, a third might break you.[/quote]

I am the same type of overwhelmed personality — watching my three is fairly stressful, even though the youngest is now 3.5 — and I’m at present pregnant with number 4. [b]Just because you find watching little kids to be intense doesn’t mean you are a bad mom. Maybe it means that you put in more energy than some others because you, I don’t know, care?[/b][/quote]

NP, but come on.  Lose the judgment.

Also: it's called respecting your limits, especially when you know them.  Nothing in the OP's post suggests that having a third child is a good idea in real life.  Focusing on the distant future ignores the very hard work (and luck) it takes to get there, and especially to get there in a way that affords the happy family that's envisioned.  [/quote]
