[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am asking because I am curious if it's even a possibility both logistically and for the good of the babies and parents.

As far as "what the heck would possess you to do this?", the answer is that there are three families that get along very well, have similar expectations for their children and seem like a great fit for a share so we'd love to see if it could work. If it's not possible that is fine, and one of the three will have to figure out other arrangements.

As a group of all first time parents we are new to the childcare arena and are just trying to research, ask for insight from those who have been there and find out what is and is not possible and reasonable.[/quote]

None of you have had your babies yet so you have no idea if your parenting styles will fit with each other. Many first time parents change their view of parenting after having their child. How you think you will be as a parent often changes after you're actually handed the baby. You also don't know the babies temperament. One family might end up with a colicky or a high needs infant, which will greatly impact the dynamic of the share. I think the family with the older baby should find a separate share and the two with the infants closest in age should do a share together. There is a big difference in needs between 3 and 6months. The age gap will be an issue until the children are one years old. Best keep closest in age together.[/quote]

Thank you. This is very constructive information.[/quote]
