How hard is it to have 3 little ones

[Toxalina]

So i have a 3yr old and a 1 yr old. Im currently pregnant (just few months gone). Im really struggling at the mo, my kids are lovely.. great kids but with the noise and constant mess just from the two, im starting to really panic about having a third.. is it really hard work having 3?

Due to twins, my friend had 3 under 18mths!!! It was hard, but they just had to get on with it. She had family nearby who helped a lot.

Do you have any family support nearby?

No family.. OH works stupid hours 6 days a week, im dreading it really which is sad

One family member has 3 little ones and finds it easy or at least makes it look a total breeze and she’s a natural

Another family member struggled a lot when young but they are now 2-6 years old and a bit easier.
If her example was the only one I’d known I would think it’s a nightmare, but I see from other family member that it doesn’t have to be

Yes it's hard. The 1st year is the hardest. Once the youngest reaches their 1st birthday it's still hard, noisy, messy and sometimes frustrating but slowly it gets easier. And sometimes, like a rainbow appearing out of nowhere, it is briefly quite magically wonderful.
