Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've got 3 kids, 2 boys and 1girl. 3,4, and 6
HUGE difference going from 2>3 in my opinion. The wife and I both work so it may be easier for those that have a "stay at home" but 3 really changes things a lot vs. 2. We were going to stop at 2 but I was a day late on getting snipped.
Big zero for me, though my wife has 2 sons that are 19 and 17 that will hopefully be gone soon if we don't end up killing them, especially the oldest.
We have them spaced out a lot 4, 11 & 14. The oldest and youngest are girls so I have a teenage and toddler at the same time......
Almost exactly like our experience is going to be. We currently have a girl (10), boy (8) and a boy coming on 11/14. How has the age difference been and any advice on dealing with it?Originally Posted by Snowman78
The two older kids are so excided about their baby brother and are both very sweet.
Congratulations on the expected! I hope the pregnancy is going well and pray that mother and baby will be strong and healthy.
No
real advice, the older one can watch the younger ones! It's is weird going to
high school and pre-school in the same day, but I like it!
3, one of each.
We had 1. Anytime she bitched about being an only child, we dropped her off at the clowns. Give her 30 min ~ in their playland cured any more blasphemy.
I'm from a LARGE family. Who were from LARGE family's. If it works for you more power. Even though HBar is close to a large prime number children wise. I know folks whe were from 12-14+ brothers & sisters. Guess some folks in the northlands would have been better off buying a snowmobile.

two or less kids and you can do man to man or zone coverage. Three or more and you throw out half your playbook. Ive got 3 jr operators all boys. The best money we spent was on a suburban with 2nd row captians chairs and a tv; no more slapfests.
I didn't read the all the posts....but I have 5 kids. girl, boy, boy boy, girl. 8,5,4,2, and 6 months. I'm pretty sure we are done at this point. It's been an interesting ride. The oldest is so helpful which alleviates some of the work. It doesn't really seem like we have 5 kids except when everyone stares at us everywhere we go. We don't have any family near and all our friends have kids of their own so we pretty much just hang out as a family all day everyday. The wife and I usually only have one date night per year and it's been over 8 years since we had 24 hours by ourselves. I guess I mention all this because having more kids is harder in some ways; but for me, the benefits out-weigh the costs.
Psalm 127:3-5English Standard Version (ESV)
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.[b]
There's a man who leads a life of danger.To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.With every move he makes, another chance he takes.Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.
