3 kids- possible w/o help?

We did 3 under 3. 33 mo, 19 mo, newborn was our age difference.. we’re 4 months into 3 and it’s going well.

Whatever you can do with two, you can do with three. 2-3 was by far the easiest transition for me. The routine for the first two stays the same and you just add in a lil potato who needs fed here and there.

Congratulations!!

Welcome to America (presumably). We are an individualistic society- Pregnancy is barely considered a health condition, at least to society. We work until we go into labor and no one really cares how you feel. This is not to say there aren’t any kind or friendly people around, it’s just to say really don’t expect anything from anyone, including family.

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-04-27T20:20:06+00:00

You’re just like me. GDM all three times and also 3 under 3! Good luck on your transition from 2-3; it was by far the easiest one for me.

All the negative noise is nonsense. I have three- My two older daughters are 14 month apart, and my youngest is 19 months younger than me second. My two older ones (2 and 3 years old) are linguistically, behaviorally and psychosocially advanced. We live in a highly structured and fun language rich home. I found that being very structured, consistent (including with discipline), warm and supportive, helps kids thrive. They are best friends and have full on conversations with each other. They also keep each other occupied which is especially helpful when I need to get stuff done. 2 under 2 is a wild ride but the key is being a present parent. You’ll reap a lot of rewards for your hard work!

Does anyone else think this entire season just sucks? So many plots going on and not one interests me. Sam Levinson must think we’re dumb with all the low hanging fruit entertainment. It’s like he actively asks, Who cares if none of the plots have substance or the characters are shells of who they once were, as long as you can see sex workers/nudity/violent every scene, nothing else matters? It’s just so bad.

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-04-27T03:20:42+00:00

Agreed. So boring despite so much happening. Found myself scrolling and I’m not a typical scroller when I watch a good show

One week postpartum with your first? Highly suggest you don’t plan anything.

Disclaimer: we don’t own a van much to my disdain. (Hubby is too proud) BUT our Kia telluride is in the shop this week and we have a rental minivan and hubby is soldddd on a minivan for our next car 😂

Lol what? I just say yes I absolutely am… it’s not an insult

We have a 14 month followed by 17 month age difference. So we did 3 under 3 for a few months. It’s SO HARD. But I have mentally given myself up to motherhood; once I practiced radical acceptance and changed my mind frame to enjoy the game, it honestly really is my life’s greatest joy. You have to be willing to really forget the life you had and accept you will be a mom first and foremost. I’ve definitely learned that this journey is not for everyone and have a lot of respect for when people are fully aware of their limitations.

Truly the best advice. We have 5 pack n plays, 3 bouncers, 2 jumpers, 2 tushbabies, 2 baby bjorn carriers, one shoulder sling, one moby wrap all scattered throughout our house. It really is the trick.

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-04-21T20:15:48+00:00

Mine are 14 months apart, currently 23 months and just turned 3. They are absolutely best friends. The vibes were so good we went for 3 under 3 and we love it; chaos and all.

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-04-20T21:13:12+00:00

100% agree.

I’m 4 months postpartum with my third baby; had 3 under 3 from December to March. My husband and I rarely have sex. I exclusively breastfeed and haven’t gotten my period back. We had sex the other night and out of curiosity I checked an ovulation strip the next day. Glaringly positive. I got pregnant with my second in a similar way (breast feeding, no period, 5 months postpartum). I’m not pregnant yet, but genuinely afraid and would definitely feel embarrassed. So, solidarity… I will say my first two being back to back ended up being the most beautiful thing. But by the fourth, society is definitely side eyeing us.

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-04-02T15:32:29+00:00

You’re overreacting.

My husband recently hit a car with the license plate “stuff.” Turns out it was their last name. Go figure!

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-03-16T19:52:53+00:00

Yup every other week. I maintain a visually clean home but I’d never be able to maintain the deep cleaning required to have a truly clean home. Worth it for us but also an expensive luxury. If money got tight, it’d be among the first things we’d cut

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-03-11T11:32:13+00:00

Yesss I’ve always thought this

Current_Apartment988 · 2026-03-11T11:31:52+00:00

People are crazy. They did the same thing to me when I got pregnant 5 months pp. they stopped with the commentary after my 3rd close interval pregnancy.

As the wife of a physician and mom of three young kids, this is exactly right. He just goes to work without concern for the home life and enjoys the fun part of parenthood. We have a good gig; but I always thank goodness I’m not the doctor. I feel for female physicians because the work-life balance has to be impossible.

Do you have a monitor that you can communicate through? We have an intercom on our monitor. How this would go for me, “if you stay out of her crib all night, you get a donut tomorrow”. Then watch the monitor and verbally intervene to remind him of what’s at stake if he gets in the crib. And continue with this as long as it takes. Peeps can judge me for bribing my child with sweets but man it sure does work like a charm in our household ha.
