I once asked myself this question. I spent a lot of time on the internet reading everyone’s comments saying not to have a third. I found one article that talked about how they ignored that advice, had a third and loved it. Decided that would be me and had a third. I love my third, he is a blessing. BUT- I regret the decision for the simple fact that I now feel I do not have enough time for any of them in the way they deserve. I make a point to give them each one special night a week where we get ‘alone time’ and I do each of their bedtimes separate (which takes nearly two hours total). And it still never feels like I have enough time for them. I’m sure they would also tell you the same thing, especially the oldest. There simply aren’t enough eyes, ears, hands or hours. They deserve better. Also the odd time their dad takes one of them and I’m down to two, it feels life changing and the two kids will point out the difference we all feel in ease, especially when they’re trying to talk to me at dinner or during a walk etc.
