[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation and we did not have the third. One of each, my son (2) has mild SN, we could afford it.

Now that they are school age, I am so glad we didn't. I don't think we would be able to adequately juggle their activities and school commitments without once of us stepping way back at work, which we couldn't do if we wanted to afford said kids. Also, my DS's SN have required more support as he has gotten older as far as presence during the day - think appointments, volunteering at school to see what is really going on, etc. Traveling as a family of four is easier. And my kids mostly play well together with no one left out. Particularly if we had had another girl, my neurodivergent DS would be very left out, I think.

I am one of three and always thought I would have three but honestly that dynamic wasn't great. I was the only girl and I felt very left out of my family from age 9-17 or so. It got better and some was normal teen stuff, I am sure but the three-kid dynamic didn't help. [/quote]
