[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a third, just keep in mind that their lives are fairly self-contained when they are 1 and 3. Later on there might be sports, instruments, swimming, dance, play dates, etc. For two kids of school age you need multiple people to drive them around plus someone to help with the youngest. So with your income it’s not undoable, but it will definitely feel different than it does now. You will be more split and each one of them will be literally talking to you at the same time about wanting to do different things. Right now the 1 year old is kind of ore verbal and the 3 year old probably doesn’t have a lot going on in terms of activities. Think 5, 6 years down the line, how the activity will work with you being in school and everyone staying up later. It will just be more to juggle off you are a hands on parent.[/quote]

I agree. Littles are mostly self contained especially if you have childcare coming to the house. The juggling act really happens once they get older and are in different schools and activities. [/quote]

(Unless you do the driver and then boarding school route so popular with absent rich parents.) [/quote]

OP has a nanny and relatives to raise her kids so the question is are the relatives and nanny ok with three kids. [/quote]
