Ladies with 3 young kids?

[sugar n spice]

I was wondering those of you who have 3 or more kids under the age of 6 how do you cope? Do you find it hard. Im curious as i find two hard but now im having a 3rd:eek:

I have 2 kids that are aged 16 months and 2 and a half years, there are 15 months between my kids, we are currently TTC #3. I found it harder when they were both babies together practically but you learn to cope, now that they are getting older, i joke to people that it is like having twins just with the kids sharing different birthdays lol cause they do everything together. I want to get the kids out of the way, people say i am mad going bang bang bang with the kids but i wouldn't have it any other way, i love it. Feel free to PM me anytiime if you need to talk.

Hey mate :hugs:
Yep.. it can be Full On!!! I guess im so used to it now,.. the noise.. the fighting..the tears.. the laughter..lol
strangely enough when they are at school and daycare i find myself lost :o Too used to my noisy lil bunch....Love em to bits :)

It can be hard at times, ha ha well said Jem!

It can also be very lovely! My boys like to "look after" Ellie, so she ALWAYS has an audience!!Though that makes it harder when they're at school!

I have 6 children and 4 of them are 4 or under. I can't tell you what i do to cope cos some days it just happens and other days are like a disaster. Just don't expect everything to be perfect. It is ok if all the housework isn't done. Enjoy the time with the kids cos it won't be long and they will be off doing their own thing. I find the first year is the hardest.

I have 3 under 6, Some days are good, some are better and then there are the bad days when my DD doesn't get to school till 9am and the boys and I are still in there PJ's. But honestly I wouldn't have it any other way, (Sometimes I secertly wish that when I return home the cleaning fairies have come in and cleaned my house, But I'm still waiting for that to happen:fingerscrossed:) Funny thing is when my eldest 2 children were babies they didn't get into things not like there 14month old brother who is into anything and everything. He is so different to my other two, which is the only thing I find harder. I think he thinks he can get away with things because he's to CUTE, and that his brother and sister will just cuddle and kiss him if mummy say's No.

You will be fine s&S. When they are all a bit older they play together which actually gives you a bit more down time. It can be chaotic around 5 but you just get your systems in place and your are fine.

I was pretty strict with mine in carparks particulary couldn't have 3 running around, they used to put their hands on the car so I knew where they were and walking around shopping centres they had to hold the pram.

Good luck with it, 3 children are great:smiliedance:

I have three and I love it.

I found it more difficult just having one.!

The 6 and 3 year old play together
and they are helpful sometimes
It just depends on how your older two behave
My 6 year old has always been the most demanding
my boys are easy in comparison

They say you raise two children and they raise the rest!
I think if you lay the foundation and do you best with the first born
then hopefully the next born just copy and emulate
and they teach each other.
My daughter is great like that
she is always acting the mother with her brothers!...

Yep i have 3..u can see there ages below in my signature.....But i would have more if we could afford to buy a bigger car etc.... But oh yeah it is hard...also my boys are only 10.5mths apart so they are big sookes when we go to the shops... lol , But when you get those nice times where they all come up & hug n kiss you its all worth the hard work & stress .:thumbsup:
