It seemed odd to me to focus so much time and energy on one baby. It just wasn\u2019t stimulating enough and, quite frankly, I found it a bit boring. Looking back, I was at Law School at the time, so I\u2019m not sure how boredom factored in. I\u2019d take a warm serving of boredom today if it was offered up.<\/p>\n<h6>When number 2 arrived<\/h6>\n<p>I was a much happier mom once my second child arrived (15 months after my first). In retrospect, I must have been anxious for baby number two since I managed to squeak a miscarriage somewhere between the first and second baby. My third baby came not all that long after the second.<\/p>\n<p>Three WAS stressful, but I found it was more about the circumstances than it was about the numbers. I was living far away from my family, I had three babies under the age of three and my eldest was well on his way to an autism diagnosis. On top of that, I swear to this day that my third\u2019s personality was <em>so<\/em> difficult; she was as much work as two.<br \/>\nThere were also no fancy three kid strollers back in those days, so we had to create a make-shift triple stroller that involved a child\u2019s plastic lawn chair with a harness. Those were not glamorous days.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I have six of them! And, in some ways, my life seems simpler now. Sure, there are crazy schedules, homework and social lives to juggle, but it&#8217;s still way easier. People say \u201cbigger kids, bigger problems\u201d, but let me tell you \u2013 my life is far less problematic now than it was back when I had three in diapers.<\/p>\n<p>I think the difficulty and stress isn&#8217;t actually in the numbers, but has more to do with closeness in age and how much support the parents have around them. I can, however, see why three would be considered the most stressful number of children for many.<\/p>\n<p>I have a couple of theories that may not be popular with parents of three, but worth considering:<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s a personality thing. Kids don&#8217;t stress me out the way they do many parents. If I was stressed at three, I would have stopped. So yeah, people with more than three kids are probably less likely to stress out about kids. You have to be tolerant of a certain level of chaos if you choose to have a big family.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe people with three kids like the &#8220;idea&#8221; of a big family but were stretched thin enough at two &#8211; so that third child stresses them out. With kids, you have to like more than just the &#8220;idea&#8221; of it. The reality can be harsh.<\/p>\n<p>So mamas, what are your thoughts?
