[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of five here. It is 100 percent easier to have 5 kids than 3. I found 3 the absolute hardest. Now my older kids entertain and help with the younger kids. The year my third was born was the least happy year of my life. I am now the happiest I have ever been since becoming a mom with my fifth almost turning one.[b] I am way more relaxed and it is 100 percent true that older kids help so much. For example on Saturday mornings I will wake up and my 12 year old has changed my toddler's diaper, turned on his cartoon, and gotten him a bowl of cheerios while I lounge in bed with DH. [/b]

What I am looking forward to is parents of 2-3 kids trying to explain why those of us with 4+ don't actually know what we are talking about when we say it's easier and we are happier than you all. [/quote]

Of course parenting is easier if you check out and dgaf.  Not really a flex, but at least 30% self-aware, and that's got to count for . . . something.[/quote]

sorry you don't get to relax saturday mornings?[/quote]
not if the kids are young, and the parent actually parents, no.

spoken like someone with a small family!

My kids are now teens, and they can take care of themselves for the most part.[/quote][/quote]
