[quote=Anonymous]Parenting as children get older necessitates different kinds of attention, I have two who are 26 months apart and now in elementary school. I am grateful that I can find time with each of them separately, to help with homework, have heart to heart chats, do little outings. A third baby would make this harder, as babies and toddlers require constant attention. Picture this: your older child needing you to connect with them while managing a barnacle that you may have a hard time handing over to a spouse or caregiver at short notice. Older child needs you but baby barnacle is like nails on a chalkboard. End result, no one is happy. Stick to two kids, invest in them, in you and in your marriage. It is hormones talking, not your rational brain. You will thank yourself and maybe avert more gray hairs as a result of “loving the baby stage.’ The latter being said part sarcastically and part dead seriously. [/quote]
