Currently have 3 children 5, 3 and an under 1). I thought it would be very difficult but so far I’m loving life (really struggled with my first).

im enjoying it so much I’ve started to entertain the idea of 4…my husband is open to the idea but as long as its not for a couple of years so plenty of time to decide

I just wondered what other opinions were? Do you have 4 and how is it?!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Can you afford four sets of university fees and house deposits?

This always makes me laugh. Not everyone goes to uni or relies on parents for house deposits .

Interesting thread.

I grew up the eldest of 4. It was you at times but I don't think I'd have it any other way.

I now have my own 2 (1 and 3), and contemplate having two more. I think where my approach would be different would be to have all my children relatively close in age. I think big age gaps are easy initially but challenging later on. Small age gaps challenging initially but easier later.

Not rich, nor a high earner. Though we're aggressive savers.
