NEED HELP DECIDING PLEASE!

[soappyblue]

I have a 3 and 2 year old. And I am really confused as to whether I should have another now. So basically, my kids will be 4 and 3 when baby will be here. Please tell me your experiences with having 3 kids. Is it okay or is it super super hard? I'd really appreciate your responses and advice. Thank you everyone 🥰

I have 4 DC although larger age gaps than yours.

It can be hard work, although less intense as they get older. I'm never bored 😂

Will you be able to give each of them one on one time ?
Will the middle child get less attention ?

Have you got close family around? Will you be paying for childcare or are you a sahm mum? Is your husband doing his fair share of chores? Things I'd consider first.
I do have 3 kids but with slightly bigger age gaps due to no family around, having to pay for childcare, giving my body a break and enjoying each baby before the next one comes along. There is no right or wrong, go with what works best for you.

It is hard and relentless but I love it. Mine are 2.5 years apart and then 4 years apart, which works for us. It’s hard to balance all their needs but the logistics have gradually become a bit easier as my eldest (now 11) becomes more independent. But I became a sahm after having my third and can’t imagine managing if I wasn’t home with all the school holidays and sickness etc. we have no family help nearby.

I had our 3rd when our older two were 4 and 7. As soon as I had him I knew we were done. He has completed our family in the most perfect way and is an utter joy. I have loved the baby stage with him the most, he's just slotted right in. By the 3rd you don't worry about anything as you can do it all with your eyes closed. The bond our girls have with him is incredible, and because they're older they love to help. Very positive experience here!

Edited to add - we both work (me part time). No family within 500 miles! We already had a big house but did upsize our car.
