Have you got 3 children?

What's it like? Is it that much different from 2? Why did you decide to have 3? Do you have anytime for yourself? Are you permenantly tired?

Just a few of my questions about having 3! I am so undecided!

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 20/03/2007 11:02

my ds2 is awkward but he'd have been awkward anyway. It's in his genes.

ledodgy · 20/03/2007 11:05

Oh i'm not like that it's just that dp doesn't want another and I don't relish the thought of pregnancy again either, also financial reasons too.

Tortington · 20/03/2007 11:05

CODalmighty · 20/03/2007 11:05

ChippyMinton · 20/03/2007 11:05

3 is fab, But then i am the 'awkward middle child' so take particular care to make sure DS2 doesn't suffer the same fate

hunkermunker · 20/03/2007 11:06

LOL at one of each being wanky - as if you can choose!

However, totally agree that to say "I've got my now" is wanky beyond anything.

CODalmighty · 20/03/2007 11:06

oh eys hm

ledodgy · 20/03/2007 11:06

God yes pelvic floor that's another reason atm I sneeze and trickle if I had another one I'd sneeze and flood!

MrsPhilipGlenister · 20/03/2007 11:07

Three is cool. A two child family is as uncool as a two week holiday, these days.

laughingduck · 20/03/2007 11:08
  1. Noisy
  2. Yes, it's noisy
  3. Can't remember
  4. No, too noisy
  5. Yes, the noise prevents sleep

Seriously though, I agree with cod, one of each is dull (but quiet) and I like the way they are with one another now that they are bigger (6, 4, and 1). Wouldn't change it but it is constant work (picking up after them, washing, etc). Have considered 4th but dh says he is too knackered.
