4th child , am i crazy????

No your not crazy. If you have the money and the love to be able to support your kids the go ahead. My parents had 6. I am number 2 out of the 6 and being one of the oldest is hard because you have to watch the younger ones but it teaches you responsability and it also teaches you patience. I remember there was times that my mom and dad wanted to rip the hair out of their heads especially because there is 4 girls 2 boys with us so once we hit puberty it was all the hormones and all that but my mom says that she would not have changed anything. There will always be struggles whether you have 1 or 15 but its the love, unity and all the great moments you have that brings out the best in you. There will be times where you have to spend more time with one kid than the others and if it becomes a conflict you should explain to the kids that everybody will have their time with you. Like my mom did something special with each one us. I was the tom boy so we used to go play tennis at least once a month. I would suggest that you figure out something you can do with each one of your kids that gives them some you and me time so you can bond more. You can also think of adoption because there are a lot of kids in need of a loving home and it sounds like you home is extremely loving. Well hope this helps.

If I could afford it, I'd have 6- we have 2 and hope for a 3rd child (and last)

My sister has 4 kids. The middle 2 are only 11 months apart. The older 2 are 18 months apart. There is plenty of time and attention and love. I think bigger families are so much fun!

Good luck to you!

I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. There always has been plenty of love to go around and more people to love!! If I ever need anything I have 5 other (actually 7 counting mom and dad) people I can turn to!

Well, depends how financially set you. Making ends meet can be stressful, i know, i have had my hard times to. But 4 kids at your age can also be hard and at the same time fun, but the word that always get me through to the end is "Love". If you love your kids and spouse, you will have a great life, and having kids can be a blast. Just make sure they are all treated with care and love them, and never let them forget that, and before you know it, your kids will be all grown up, and you'll be only 50 for having 4 kids who are all grown up. You'll get to see them have grand kids, and possibly even see your grand kids grow up! Having kids young has many benefits to it! I hope you and your family have a great life!

My dad is one of 4 siblings. My friend has 7 kids and there are plenty of love to go around in both cases :-)

If you can afford it and you want it I'd say go for it.

Something else is in larger families the older sibling helps out with the younger ones so the work load doesn't quadrupole with kid #4 just as you probably notices that going from 2-3 children wasn't as hard as going from 1-2.

Good luck with your decision :-)

I was to oldest of 4. I think that it was very hard for my parents to spend an equal amount of time with each of us. I got most the attention because I got good grades and was excelling in swimming. My siblings got attention, but not as much. More children to divide a fixed amount of time between means less time per child. It's simple math.

First of all you are NOT CRAZY!

I have three boys, and two step kids. I would have more if I could. But after our last baby was born, I promised hubby to get my tube tied. Now I am regretting that.

Honestly, having 4 kids is not any harder than having 3. You just need to make sure you spend enough time with each child.

I say if you can afford it and you have time to help them grow, GO FOR IT!

Best of luck to you!

By having 4 kids, you have committed the worst crime imaginable 4 times. To bring a child into the world is a crime worse than all the rapes and murders combined. There is nothing that can be done now. They exist and nothing can save them from the horrors of existence that await us all.
