[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have three kids close together; these times are hard in the best scenario. That said, you have three kids now. You need to change your mindset, because three is not two. Lower your expectations, accept that life has changed, and proceed accordingly. We have three, and part of the reason we’re (normally) okay is that we built our lives around three kids: we both have flexible jobs, short commutes, we don’t plan elaborate outings or things we know won’t work with three kids. I wanted to get out when our youngest was a newborn, but that was literally to small parks with fences so I knew the older two would be contained while I had the baby in the carrier. Not the Zoo or brunch. Adjust your expectations. (Also, sure, I’d tell people to have kids if they want them. I wouldn’t suggest they have kids unless they’re willing to be flexible, though.)[/quote]
