[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I know with three kids seem very overloaded and unhappy. I personally wouldn’t do it unless someone as willing and able to SAH. [/quote] We have three young children— I stay at home and my husband is very flexible. Selection bias here I’m sure but while I know a number of 3 kid families, none have 2 FT working parents. Still, considering whether to SAH and have a third, I would caution that it can be rough juggling nap/preschool/ES pickup schedules with 3. I feel privileged that my husband is able to stay with a napping baby sometimes. It makes a huge difference to my sanity. I don’t think it would be easier with 2 FT careers, but having one baby home FT, another kid on a half day preschool schedule, the oldest full day…. that comes with it’s own complications. I think whether or not one parent is staying at home, having a job that is truly flexible can make all the difference.[/quote]
