As someone unexpectedly expecting (still CANNOT believe) child number four (yikes!), you can take my word that more children really do add a ton of work, stress, etc. And to think, I almost got away with having an only child, my oldest being 6 before she had siblings. Sigh. <br /><br />There is the occasional joy when they all play contentedly together for hours, or the older do loving, big sisterly things for the younger, or the younger acts so cute and loving. That said, this joy might be superseded by all the times they bicker, refuse to share, compete to see who can scream the loudest, and/or all cry at the same time. I love them all dearly but the hard fact is once you have another, you can never put it back!Leilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516200136293375097.post-80592978087842830192012-01-10T15:01:25.094-08:002012-01-10T15:01:25.094-08:00What amazes me about all of you is that you have m...What amazes me about all of you is that you have more than one and you STILL find time to write!

Life is more fun when we keep our friends on their toes. The age gap between our first two is rather shocking/unusual for a family in this area. Not me. Then again, I wasn't raised here. :)David P.

I actually do want a girl but don't want to be pregnant/have a baby/take care of a newborn/or have 3 kids riding in the back of my car. OR end up with 3 boys and no girls. ;0). So my hubby and I have decided we are done. Unless I change my mind.Jenny S.

THIS.
"I'm not sure when it became ...YES. THIS. <br />"I'm not sure when it became okay to ask a near-stranger when they're planning on breeding again,..."<br /><br />I have three with one on the way, and it's the same nosy-judgy-judginess as when you only have one. My first three are all 16 months apart, and it seemed that that spacing ("too close," I heard) incurred just as much curiosity, not-computing, and head shaking as saying you're only thinking about one might.<br /><br />Your body. Your family. Only you know what's right.<br /><br />Oh. And the first thing people asked me when I announced we were expecting this one? "This IS the last one, right??"<br /><br />*sigh*Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827971896088856057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516200136293375097.post-80999825926960219132012-01-09T22:04:31.472-08:002012-01-09T22:04:31.472-08:00I have 4 kids, and I think I might be slightly ins...I have 4 kids, and I think I might be slightly insane at this point.

And when you're feeling bad about this sort of thing, remind yourself that your identical twin is nowhere in the vicinity of being ready to even have the first one. Maybe you're waiting until I'm ready so we can go through it together??Sarahnoreply@blogger.com
