[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went into having kids thinking I definitely wanted 3.  I am the 3rd kid.  It just felt right!  People who stopped at 2 were weak, in my mind.

I stopped at 2 because I found myself overwhelmed!  Apparently my own mother is crazy and has a 6th gear I do not seem to have.  2 is plenty!  I adore them.  If I could have added a 3rd child that started at age 4, then I would have.  But no thank you to another pregnancy/infancy/toddlerhood (HELL NO).  3 year olds are awful.  Do you have one yet?[/quote]

Op here. This is exactly how I feel. Mine are 4 and 1. I love to them to death but my 4yo is incredibly draining. [/quote]

Also I come from a larger family as well and am the baby. I love the dynamic of multiple siblings. Just yesterday I had an argument with one of my siblings and I loved being able to turn to the other sibling. I think it is really nice for the kids. Just so hard as parents to do it all.[/quote]

Ye gods. I’m the youngest of three and the example you just provided is one of the reasons I think three is a bad number. I think there is a lot of two vs one with three kids. In my family I am usually the one and my older siblings are the two and I feel very isolated. [/quote]
