Third child experiences?

Been on the Fence since my second. I don’t feel done and I think deep down I know we want a third but just wondering the practicalities and how it changes things from 2 to 3 (+ and -) if anyone can share! I would love another but not sure if I can handle it? Then I think we are already in the depths of chaos with our lovely two (5 and 2) Thank you

Go for it!

Mine were almost 4 and almost 2 when my third was born. They are only four months old, so I’m sure there will be challenges ahead, but so far it’s been bliss! By far the easiest transition. I’m really enjoying it and so pleased we went for the third.

Sure someone will be along soon to tell me that uni and house deposits for three will kill me, but no regrets yet!

Aww! I love my larger family. I'm sure I will find it difficult to finance them in future. I already sleep I the front room so everyone can have an individual bedroom but they have added so much to my life. I am never bored. Xxxx

I found the jump from 2-3 was easier than 1-2. My older ones were 4 and 2 at the time. There are some practical things like you might need a bigger car, offers for holidays and days out etc tend to be for a family of 4. But we are now expecting our 6th so we are now very used to having to make plans a wee bit differently to most families.
