[quote=Anonymous]I dont regret my third, but I often think how easy/more fun things would be with two, especially during the pandemic.

They are 3, 9, 11 right now.  Projects my older ones want to do such as advanced crafts, sewing, baking, building, etc are very difficult, frustrating, or nearly impossible with a 3 yr old in the mix.  Same goes for outdoor stuff such as long hikes, skiing, ice skating, sledding is all harder and different when you have a 3 yr old too.  Same goes for the part-time homeschooling we are doing.  Trying to help with advanced concepts (and figure them out myself if i need a refresher) is really hard with a much younger child in the mix.

We don't have family help and DH works long hours.  Tag teaming is often not an option right now.  But I do the best I can to meet all their needs and make sure everyone is happy and thriving- which they are.  I don't regret the third, she enhances our life in many ways, but this particular phase, which I would say started around 18 mon and will likely last until 4-5 is really hard with a big age split.
