[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have found I get a lot more 1:1 time with each kid since I had the third. Often, I will be doing something with one (reading, studying, listening to music/performance/creative endeavor, talking, etc.) while the other two play, interact, or talk. This rotates regularly so that I am easily able to meaningfully engage with each on a regular basis. Much more often than I did when there were two. They also each get 1:1 time every night at bedtime. We’re done having kids so don’t want a fourth, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how great it is with three. [/quote]

That’s interesting. [b]Most parents I know with 2+ spend a lot of time navigating sibling rivalry. For every 10 min of play, you’ve got 5 min of fighting or fussing[/b].[/quote]

NP here. If there’s that much fighting going on that’s ahuge parenting fail. I have 2 children, and nobody I know has a household like that. Yes, of course there’s the occasional sibling argument, but if you’re spending almost half your parenting time breaking up fights - you’re doing something (or a lot of things) very wrong.
