We went with the ol "try for a 3rd and got 3 AND 4". 4 is NOT easier than 3. I'm in the middle of it (1yr olds) and it's by far the most stressful... Especially coupling that with a 4 and 6 yr old.

No more
I don't think anybody would claim four is easier when the last two come at the same time! That said, it seems you wouldn't know how easy having three is or is not.

I wanted 4, but after 3 wife told me to give the old doc a call.

Now that we have 3 and no more, she is telling me she thinks it probably would have been easier if we had 4. 3 is an odd number. We know several friends with 4, and the consensus is that 4 was easier than 3.

Oh well.
im not kidding when i say that i need your wife to tell mine that 4 is easier than 3. she wont listen to me for **** but for some reason if a woman tells her something she is ALL EARS and i REALLY want a 4th kid.

We have 3 now. I cannot fathom how is 4 easier. As in they pair up and play/watch out for each other better?
multiple studies show 3 kids is the most stressful. at 4 it starts to drop for a variety of factors.
please send me these studies. im not kidding.

I'll loan you my youngest if you are interested in seeing what becomes of the fourth child.


I'm not talking a 10 year deal or anything, but i might be willing to let you try it out for a few months.

An even number means they always have someone to interact with.

When we had 3, two would be playing together and the other was alone and wondering why they wouldnt include him/her. The moment we got #4, the trio dynamic changed. No one was ever feeling isolated because the odd man could always help with the infant.

its a she and she is a survivor. outside should be no problem.

if you catch her wearing your wifes underwear as a hat, socks on her hands, using a toothbrush as a hairbrush, holding three pacifiers, eating your leftover salmon in ice cream, and screaming "do like" all the time...just get used to it!

My wife and I are jealous. We have 3.

Wish we had 10.

It's part of how we win.

Have as many as God will give you brother.

We waited until midnight on the biological clock and had three in two years. That's all we are getting, but now that they are older, I kinda wish we started earlier so we could have one or two more.

You want to get real based read Gen 30 to your wife.

4 and we say all the time we should have tried for a 5th (although we didn't really 'try' for a 4th, it was more of a 'should we have another one" and suddenly the wife was pregnant b/c I looked at her funny - seriously, we had sex 3 times and had 4 kids!*).

And those who say 4 are easier, I'd tend to disagree. For some reason, when 3 played together it seemed to go great, but all 4 were together it descended into chaos and tears and it was never the same one causing the problems).

*before the mailman comments, we had twins first.

We have four now, but plenty of runway left on the child bearing years. At the current rate, we'll probably end up with 8 or 9.

I post an opinion about politics and get banned, and this guy posts a non-political thread in the politics board and makes it multi-pages deep.

I'm not questioning the moderation Ole Watch, just pointing it out....

No what he needs is a savings account, because that's a lot of weddings to pay for in his future.

4 kids here. Would have more if we were younger. Definitely gets way harder at 3, 4 is easier in some ways because they each have a playmate, but it also gets louder and more chaotic!

When was midnight, if you don't mind me asking? Feel like I may be past midnight but we are considering it now.

We were sure that the youngest of three was a boy, but she was who the Lord knew was the one we needed. Never second guess the Lord.
