👋🏽 8,6,3, and 11 months here. Frankly it is easier than I imagined, except when they scatter to the four corners of the earth!

But the unlock for us was that our three (boys) cherish and adore their little sister, so they’ve been quite helpful with grabbing diapers/paste, bringing bottles, watching baby while one of us has to use the bathroom ha. Those little things add up and give them a sense of ownership.

I second what M1 said. We’re 8, 6, 4, 2 and the others are old enough now that they can pitch in in little ways that really help. It’s not as hard to add #4 as it might seem.

inbox me..11,9,8,7,2 here!!! Girl,boy,girl,boy,girl...then I got a vasectomy..If wifey gets preggers again, either God did his thing, she did a thing, or I go sue the doc..🤣🤣

Going from 2 to 3 was a bigger game changer. Develop routines and optimize your time.

Any of you with 4 kids doing it with 2 working parents?

Wife and I want a big family (~4). We’ve got our 2nd on the way. Both have no plans of quitting/retiring anytime soon. Just hoping to see some examples of people who’ve done this.

FWIW, her job is a little less chaotic than mine - and for a consultant my setup is actually pretty sustainable. We have a nanny and a cleaner that comes 2x/wk - in general think this’ll be huge for making this work.
