But I think have three kids is way harder than having two. The transition to three was easy, actually having them, less so.
How so?
I’m not the pp, but I didn’t find anything as disruptive to my work, my marriage, my free time, and my friendships as having our first child. Having my second or third didn’t really change those things much. But the day to day is difficult with three. They egg each other on, there is less free time, there is more laundry and cooking, etc.

Absolutely 0-1. 2-3 was harder than 1-2 but mostly because the age gap was smaller. We’re expecting 4 when 3 is 2.75

For me, each transition got easier. I have 3, and I find it interesting that managing 4 kids on a day-to-day basis is easier than 3.
I don't have four, but can see how that would be possible. The dynamic of 3 can leave one kid feeling left out.

I totally agree having three or more kids is harder on a daily basis, and that that's a different thing than the transition to kids. For me, 0-1 was the hardest because I was a very nervous new mom, hadn't ever spent time with an infant before, and because the dynamic between my spouse and me completely changed after we became parents. We had already adjusted to those realities when babies 2 and 3 came along. But yes, managing three children's personalities, activities and emotional/physical needs, and their interaction with each other, is more difficult on a day to day basis than it is when I'm only handing 1 or 2 of them.

What was the hardest leap: 0 to 1 kids, 1 to 2 or 2 to 3+?
