[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree OP! I also think most parents of 3+ kids just have a more relaxed parenting style so the kids aren’t watched as closely. [/quote]

This.  Families with 3 kids are used to chaos and loud environments and I find they are much more hands off.  There's also more likely to be a kid left out on the older or younger side which can make things complicated.  [/quote]

I grew up in a large family that was chaotic and loud, and I often was that left out kid (not because of being older or younger -- I was the quiet middle child who was overlooked because I was well behaved).

This is precisely why I don't like being around big, loud, chaotic families. My home environment growing up was very stressful, and I absolutely find it triggering when a big family walks through the door all "HEY WE'RE HERE, HOPE YOUR EARDRUMS ARE READY!" I am also extra sensitive to the way parents of large families sometimes talk about their kids. I will get a twitch when I hear phrases like "I don't know why Noah isn't as athletic as his brothers, we can't figure out what's wrong with him" or "Oh Julia doesn't mind being teased, that's just how sisters are." Godspeed, Noah and Julia. Let me know if you need the name of good therapist.[/quote]
