Hi all, how many of you have more than 2 children?
My kids are almost 5, 2 and a half and I'm back an forth on whether to have a 3rd...
My eldest has autism, not that that'd stop me and I've one boy and a girl.
I know my daughter would be an amazing big sister. She's very interested and aware of babies. I do worry it'd be another big change in life but he's now at primary school and doing well.
In theory theyd be at least 5 and 3 before a baby arrives.
How many do you have and what ages?
Is 3 much harder than 2 or by then are you a dab hand? Haha x

I have 2. Costly with secondary x2. Im one of 3 always felt left out. My friends with 3 said childcare was costly. But we all cope differently I find 2 plenty lol

@PottyDottyDotPot well that works with a 5 and 3 year old, but less effective with a 4 and 1 year old! Until the age of about 4 my youngest just loved to climb on things and then fall off them. I had to hover constantly!
