[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we like kids?  What a weird question. [/quote]

It’s not weird, especially if you complain constantly about how busy and hectic and exhausted you are. Most of my friends who have three constantly complain. I just want to be like, uh, what did you think having three kids was going to be like, a walk in the park?[/quote]

I have 3 and we both work full time. Husband travels a lot for work (pre Covid) and I travel a bit too. Things were great before Covid. Older kids were in school and baby was with the nanny. Now I have to help my PK and 1st grader (though she is pretty independent now) with DL. So now I complain a bit. When my third was born, I had no idea I would have had to help my older kids 3-4 hours a day with DL.

Why do you feel the need to write something like this? Why would anyone decide to not give their child a playmate?[/quote]

Its the truth.  They had little time for their 2 kids but could outsource easily between the nanny and school but now she probably has to help a bit with 2 kids and an infant while the nanny tends to the infant.  She needs to hire more help.  I don't get families iike this as neither parent is home much so kids are an accessory rather than the priority.  I don't get how you don't realize you could have your kids with you 24/7.[/quote]
