[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the threads that always scared the living daylights out of me pre-kids. While I do feel for those of you going through a rough time, I'm SO GLAD I didn't listen to most of you people. I believe you when you say your life is really hard with kids, but that's not a given - mine isn't and really has never been. I've done both the SAHM and working parent life and they both have challenges but the good vastly outweigh the bad for me. And no I don't have any family nearby for free help - though I do have a fantastic spouse and partner. I have many friends who feel the same as me, and for all the "no one tells you how hard it's going to be" talk we feel the opposite - THAT'S ALL YOU HEAR! So for other people reading: don't just assume life is going to super hard once you add kids - this is a very individual thing. [/quote]

[b]These comments were directed an OP who seems to already be struggling with just two kids.[/b]  That doesn't mean our advice to reconsider having a third would be the same for others.[/quote]

DP, and this.  I have three and never felt so overwhelmed with two that I considered posting on an anonymous internet forum about it.  And yes, generally if people are even close to overwhelmed with the amount of kids they have, I don't think having another is a good idea.  That's why we stopped at three. :)[/quote]

We have a 3 yo and a 2 yo and another due very soon. But we've never struggled with two. We're stopping at 3. OP sounds like she should stop at 2, or at the very least wait until she feels like her life is manageable to start thinking about a third.

If you can't handle two, why would you ever consider a third!?[/quote]
