[quote=Anonymous]Strcucture, structure, structure and accepting that you cannot do it all. I have 2 (1 over 4 and the other an infant), pregnant with the 3rd, but we have a very cooperative household and my brother moved to DC recently and is extremely active with the kids. Still, between work and home, school (theirs and hubby's), church, home lessons and sports for the older one, you have to give things up. My house is certainly not Martha Stewart's, salad can sometimes be a meal and not just a side (of course, a meal-sized portion, nobody is starving) and the lawn could really use a raking. My eyebrows look odd if I don't fill them in and thank goodness it is cold enough for tights bc I can probably braid the hair on my legs. But this is what we wanted - 3 kids - and we put our all into them. It isn't  always easy but this is the life we chose. If you want two or three you can do it and do it well. If you don't want more, my goodness, don't have them. And definitely, if you can afford it, splurge on a house cleaner and a landscaper or whatever service keeps you from doing the crap that you hate to do. Oh, and make friends who don't want kids but who like them - they babysit for free. [/quote]
