[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we like kids?  What a weird question. [/quote]

It’s not weird, especially if you complain constantly about how busy and hectic and exhausted you are. Most of my friends who have three constantly complain. I just want to be like, uh, what did you think having three kids was going to be like, a walk in the park?[/quote]

I have 3 and we both work full time. Husband travels a lot for work (pre Covid) and I travel a bit too. Things were great before Covid. Older kids were in school and baby was with the nanny. Now I have to help my PK and 1st grader (though she is pretty independent now) with DL. So now I complain a bit. When my third was born, I had no idea I would have had to help my older kids 3-4 hours a day with DL.

Why do you feel the need to write something like this? Why would anyone decide to not give their child a playmate?[/quote]

Its the truth.  They had little time for their 2 kids but could outsource easily between the nanny and school but now she probably has to help a bit with 2 kids and an infant while the nanny tends to the infant.  She needs to hire more help.  I don't get families iike this as neither parent is home much so kids are an accessory rather than the priority.  I don't get how you don't realize you could have your kids with you 24/7.[/quote]

Right... I should just quit my job. Do you realize that even if I had only one in school it would have been the same issue? I have a FT job and spend plenty if time with my kids when I am not working... yes they go to school... should I not send them? Yes the toddler has a nanny so I can work... should I put him in daycare? Oh no, I should just quit my job.. right... 
listen, my kids are so happy to have siblings. They have more people to live and who love them. The older two are best friends.

OP is just a sad woman with a lonely kid. Just feel bad for her[/quote]
