[quote=Anonymous]We have four kids, one with a food allergy, one with a visible disability, and three have ADHD and anxiety. We have resources - education and money - which makes parenting and working possible. I have a flexible job, and cover all the doctors appointments and therapy. I do homework with my kids and take them to activities. They get home cooked meals. They don’t babysit each other - too close in age at 2 years apart between each. I don’t do individual bedtime routines for my kids, I turn down some invitations for play dates or birthday for family time. There are definitely trade offs, but it’s not about not being able to give my kids time and attention. DH and I are both one of four kids, and we love having a big family. The hardest part of having kids is that when they go through something hard, it weighs on me. That is not about the number of kids.[/quote]
