    4 kids!?!

    Ok! So Dh and I have been throwing around the idea of having a 4th. I just don't feel "done" yet. So please tell me the good, bad,and ugly of having 4. I sometimes feel like 4 is a lot and we might be crazy to add another. I'm wondering if i should fight the urge and just be happy with me 3!

    Sorry no advice other than we have three and have decided to roll the dice and go for a fourth. We are still not sure if we will cope financially or emotional but I never knew about swaying with my previous three pregnancies and now I do it is one last chance to try to get a sister for my dd! Good luck with your decision and I will read the comments with interest! X

    We have four! And its a crowd! But I'm in love!
    It kinda grew on me. Lol
    Well if one isn't home its quiet and peacefull. Of they are all home its loud and noisy! I freak out at times.
    But i have had momentele that i thought OMG what have i done!
    And thought it would never be ok and i could never handle it (i was still pg then)
    Now the youngest turnster almost 1,5 it just rolls.
    I feel it's cool. Not easy but not that much harder as three. I feel i've ajusted just as from 2-3.
    I still find hardst adding from 1-2

    No advice as we have 3 and would like one more, but almost all mums of 4 say to me that it wasn't much 4 to 3! In fact some say its easier because they pair off and play together.

    That's supposed to say *it wasn't much different going from 3 to 4*

    Welcome back Navywife!! We now have four & it's busy but I'm so glad that we have our four as it feels more balanced having two bigger ones and two littlies together. We're only 3 weeks in though & still getting used to life as a family of six.

    Three beautiful boys and my longed-for DD due in June 2016!

    My situation is weird because while I have 5 kids my first two are adults and no longer live with us. while they do take a surprising amount of time still, it's not the day in and day out that kids at home are.

    I really think it depends on the age of the kids. When I had 3 little ones under 5 it was hard, hard, hard. I could not have handled a 4th one (I didn't feel like anyway, I'm sure I would have muddled through somehow but it would not have been easy.) But DS 3 and 4 are very much the age of your DS's and I actually just have lately been thinking that I actually could do another baby (I'm not going to, but I COULD.) I also work full time, homeschool, and my husband is useless with day to day chores (great with other stuff, just not the day to day kid/house stuff) so if you were not in that same boat, it may be a lot easier than it was for me.
