[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three with lots of (hired) help. My job has always been somewhat flexible, my husband's has varied but is currently extremely flexible - pre covid though, he was either home and extremely flexible or traveling, so we still needed help. My husband is also a great parent and can handle everything with the kids, I wouldn't suggest having three plus if your partner can't pull their weight. [/quote]

This is the best piece of advice I have read on this thread:  “I wouldn't suggest having three plus if your partner can't pull their weight.“

“We have three and both parents have demanding careers. My husband and I are true equals at home and with the kids — no default parent here. I see so many of my friends who have husband’s who are useless! That might work with 1/2, but not more than that. Ours are still young (oldest 6 and youngest 18 months). We have lots of hired help too — no family in the area. It works for us, but it’s exhausting and I do worry that we should have stopped at 2 due to just lack of time in the day!

I would take it one kid at a time. No need to plan it all out. [/quote]
