[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone with three kids past preschool ages respond? We are actively debating this now as a lawyer / doctor couple (though with flexible jobs) and both of us want to work. We don’t want to have a nanny. [/quote]

I responded with 3 kids ages 14, 11, and 9. 
My cousin SAH with 3 kids around the same age. 
The main difference I think is that my husband has to chip in around the house whereas her doesn’t, she probably cooks better meals than I do and her house is probably cleaner than mine. Outside of school hours her husband still has to help shuttle the kids to sports & activities, and they have to do carpools etc. because she can only be one place and one time.

I laughed & thought of this thread yesterday when talking to a friend with 3 kids. She said she didn’t know my next door neighbor, and I said - I think she’s driven your son to XYZ and she laughed and said- that’s right, I never met them but we were looped into a group carpool together. Essentially with 3 kids we carpool with people we don’t even necessarily know to start - friends of friends in the neighborhood.[/quote]
