[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have 2 but am going for a 3rd soon and have overthought this a lot. My take:

-- You don't do things individually with each kid. You are one family unit and you like being together as much as possible.

-- You say no to dumb things like bday parties unless it's a close friend and/or you really want to go. You turn down adult group vacations, expensive group/couples dinners, play dates etc. You learn to really say no and be happy with that decision, or you'll run your family ragged spending time on things that don't matter or drain your time/energy/money.

-- You pick one activity a semester and say no to a lot.

-- You don't volunteer at school. No PTA etc. [/quote]

You should not have a third kid. We have three and do all the things above that you don’t think you should do. And we’re perfectly happy and adjusted family. [/quote]

This is why we don't have three. I want my 2 to have a full life and do all of those things. Plus my youngest has SN. That sealed the deal for us. [/quote]

How does this comment connect to OP's question? You're not making three work with two careers.[/quote]
