Well I have 3 and yes it is hard work finding the time but they all get equal amounts of attention,well the baby more so buts that's because he is a baby, my children are not in the least bit jealous of each other, they have what money can't buy... each other!!!
I'm sure when my children are older they will not be concerned about material things they have missed out on, when they need a shoulder to cry on and they can turn to their brother or sister.

What with school, clubs and homework and play time etc etc etc.
Thats just ridiculous, I am one of a twin and I also have a younger sister, we all had enough time with mum who was a single parent bringing up twins! You come across so offensive! Its not to nice.

I have 2 boys, aged 5 and 8, they are definitely enough for me! I'm not one of these people who is born to have kids. I really find it quite stressful tbh!!! I love them to bits and wouldn't change them for the world but it is HARD work, it's time consuming, requires sacrifice in many areas of your own life and they are expensive little beggars! Great fun, fantastic laugh, amaze you with how they learn and some of the things they say and do BUT 2 is definitely enough for me!! I do work, part time self employed and need that work as a break ha ha!

I actually agree with this to an extent, especially when the parent/s or gaurdians work full time (and if they didn't work then we would possibly be paying for them!).

It's the same when people have too many dogs that they don't have enough time for them all. I don't think that's right or fair at all.

I work full time (and then some) and give both my two dogs loads of my time, I wouldn't have enough time for a kid even if I wanted one!

I never said anything about that!

I agree with you.

Some of us obviously don't stay in bed all morning or sit around watching tele all day, there's plenty of hours in the day for 3+ children plus 3+ dogs I think!

One child has all the spare time three children have all the spare time divided by three thats simple maths.

Did'nt want or mean to offend and sorry if I did.

I was after all just answering the question.

Of course you can but quality time spent one to one is cut short.

It is only my opinion and I will leave it there and won't be arguing about it.
