[quote=Anonymous]You say 3 is "best for your family". I have 3. 3 is not best for your family on pretty much any dimension. You can have a 3rd just bc you want to raise 3 kids (I did) but don't kid yourself in thinking that your existing two will be better off having a more stretched / tired parent. Or a parent that can't take the time to play the interesting game with them bc the 2yo will get jealous and knock all the pieces over, or read the boards at the museums to them bc you're too busy trying to keep the 3yo out of everyones way, or able to take them on the big rides at the amusement park bc the 4yo isn't tall enough yet etc etc. Or the snuggling and reading on weekend mornings bc the 1yo can't follow the book. You can dismiss each of these as minor (and they are) but they do add up that practically speaking your existing two kids and the quality of the engagement they get from you will take a hit.[/quote]
