Three Kids, now what?

Hi, bargainbaby. I have three kids of my own too. I know how it feels to have to deal with them and all. It is very hard. It was like this for me too when I went through all of my births. All that I did, was create a great atmosphere for myself to relax and unwind. It is very hard to adjust to having three kids, but it can be done. Pray about it and do many things a bit at a time. Don't overdue yourself. It is bound to get better. You will see. Take care.

wait till they have grow up... when they are still below five years, you will never get some time to do your hobby, unless you have three nanny that taking care of them...

On June 27th I had my third child so we sound quite alike. My older son is 14 years old and he is a well behaved teenager. He works hard at school. He likes his play station and his laptop. My younger son is 2 years old and he is a spina bifida toddler. He is unable to walk and that upsets him. In crawling around his weak leg can get sore. He has to have catheter care and he resents that as he gets older. He is heavy to carry and he won't hold on. A baby girl is adorable, my toddler son superb and my teenage son wonderful. I had much bleeding after the birth of my baby and I am still rather weak because of that. I don't have much energy. My mum is helping me at the moment so I appreciate that. I find lifting my toddler son a struggle right now. As time moves on your children will get older and therefore more sensible. Age 0 to 3 and a half is demanding, then life gets easier. Good luck.

I can't give you much advice on how to manage 3 kids as i have have 2, and i dare to have a third one, as i know i can't manage 3 kids at a time. But one thing you can do is to make a schedule and try to stick to it. It makes things a lot easier to manage, as small kids also do like scheduled routine.. But what i feel, is that you must be doing fine, as you still have time to browse net and do mylotting, when my kids very small i didn't had time to do anything..

I don't know how old your children are so it makes it hard to give accurate suggestions. I have three children though my situation may be a bit different from yours. My oldest is 11, my second is 8, and my third is 2. But, even my 2 year old loves to help me clean. And so do my two oldest because we keep track with a chart and they get a monthly allowance, though 2/3 of it gets put into a savings account to save for something special. My two year old can be handed a paper towel and she will help me wipe windows and mirrors clean. She loves to help me measure things and add things when I am cooking. I find that if I keep her involved in what I need to do that she won't have a tantrum or cause trouble. When I take a shower I have her in the bathroom and she likes to sing to me while I am in the shower and I am sure to clap for her when she's finished a song. I love to embroider but it was hard at first trying to do the embroidery with my two year old wanting to play with the string or try and sit on my lap. So I bring the supplies in my room and on my bed and I give my two year old something fun to do while sitting in my room with me. Like special toys I keep hidden away that she will have fun with because she doesn't play with it all of the time. I will also talk with her and have her sing to me then as well. She loves singing the abc's and twinkle twinkle little star. Whatever you do don't ever forget to include a little me time in your day. Even if its after the kids are in bed. Even if you are tired try to stay up at least half an hour after they are in bed so that you can watch a favorite show or paint your nails or participate in your hobby.

if you want to spend more time in your hobbies means then you make three childs ? ? . my kind advice is spent your time with your three childs . it is your childs . dont think i m not enjoying my hobbies and all . spent time with your three childs is also like a hobby . my kind another advice dont try for another child

Hi! My last four children were all a year apart. I tried to keep their schedules as close to the same as i could, especially for bedtime and naps. I would try to feed them at the same time,and give them baths one behind the other. To begin with it was pretty hard, but all i could do was take it one day at a time, and after aboout 2 months things started to even out. Another thing i did was to not put the baby in a quiet room, i let the baby get used to the noise so it was easier to get the baby to sleep for nap time, as were the other children. Good luck, and i hope everything gets better for you soon.
