Parenting

Parentcaster

Okay, so who on here has 3+ kids? I have 2 boys, 8 months & 2.5y, and we're contemplating running it back. We're very conflicted. I'd enjoy another one to be sure, but scared we unleash chaos and misery. Anyone with 3+ have thoughts on that decision?

For a counter opinion here, keep going. I’ve got 4 and soon to be 5. 

when you get to 2, they take all your free time, so the incremental time cost of each subsequent one is zero lol 

It takes 2 kids to get good at parenting, so why stop right when you get good at it!?

If you put in the work with the first few, it is surprising how well the younger ones learn by osmosis from the older ones. They create their own little ecosystem and you kinda sit back and watch it all unfold

appreciate it man, thanks! 

Definitely! This morning my wife and I were sitting at the table enjoying a quiet breakfast with each other, while the boys were in the living room listening to an audiobook together and the girls were at the other end of the house playing in their bedroom

Haha love to hear this take.  The incremental time argument is one I've made to my wife.  I actually would like to have a little less time for each one so I'm less inclined to over-parent.

Congrats on the 5th on the way!
