[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3rd is 6mo, and my older two are 5 and 3. I wouldn't say I regret her, but I'm not sure I would do it again. I love her dearly! But I feel like there isn't enough of me to go around and that my husband doesn't deal with the chaos of three well. And then there is my daycare bill. [/quote]

This is pretty much what all my friends say. And they say that parents of 2 have NO CLUE. Both our kids are strong-willed, "spirited" kids - the only mellow one in the family is DH, so it was an easy decision for us to stop.[/quote]

I've had two of my mom friends tell me that the big jump for them was from 1 to 2 and not 2 to 3.  They say that of course there is more to do but the shift from having some down time with one to no downtime with 2 was the biggest adjustment.

I'm on the fence about #3 as well.  One of my biggest hangups is the environment, actually.  My husband and I have decided that we will significantly alter our diets and transportation if we do have three children (meat only once a week, if that, and electric vehicles/public transportation) to offset our family's impact just a little.[/quote]
