Anyone have more than 2 kids? Wife wants a 3rd and I'm worried to be out numbered. Is there a difference in responsibility?

I am also in my youbtb 30s and worried I might be too old. I feel young but I already have 2 kids under 4. Thoughts?

3 is NO different than 2. I raised three and had NO problems at all.

I raised 5. After the first two the rest are easy.

If you have to ask on a message board, rather than just talk to your partner ... then I'm going to say no, you shouldn't have more kids.

Yes - you cant imagine life without them.. BUT .. let's also get real!
🔹There is more work
🔹it is more of a juggle
🔹It is more expensive
🔹it is constant
Before we had 3 a friend with older kids said "We may as well of had 6" & it's true!!
🔹3 kids + their friends = a party!
You need to decide if you can do 3
It's lovely that your wife wants 3 but it is a team effort & imo its better to do 2 really well than 3 half heartedly!

We have 3
We found the transition from 1 to 2 quite big
2 -3 was a breeze
ours were all under 4 at one point, so despite all being so small, 2 -3 was easy, VERY easy
youngest just graduated Uni last year

workload and lifestyle wise, its easy
Cost over their educational life is your biggest consideration
we knew we could comfortably afford to put 3 through uni, or else would would have had more
