Moms of 3, how is it?

My mom says 3 is the hardest number of kids, anything more feels significantly easier. She says 8 was easier than 3. 😅

3 is hard lol. Marvelous, but - haha… my 3rd one is 2 & I’m just now starting to feel like I got this!! Kind of. 😅 Exercise has helped me tremendously. It took me a long time to get started. Keep walking — stretch. Take👏care👏of👏yourself!! Don’t let that hang on the very bottom of the never-ending list of things to do. Doesn’t have to involve $ & a ton of time. Just reserve a little time daily to do something that helps you feel love towards yourself? 🤔 Journal, read, drink tea, do a facial, a hair mask, jog, dance, draw, create — I think most moms of multiple kids tend to neglect themselves & … often times end up learning the hard way that you cannot pour from an empty cup. Don’t wait for others to fill it for you. Make sure you are watering the garden of your soul — yes you are a mother, but that’s not ALL. Remember that you are multifaceted, and it’s important to cultivate other aspects of yourself.

I have 3 kids pregnant with my 4th it's hard as hell, you never get a brake you are on your feet 24/7 you be lucky it you get to sit down for even a minute

Im a mom of 4 now but 3 was super easy to get use too im hoping it'll be the same with going from 2 to 3 with 3 to4 🤞🏼🤞🏼

It is definitely harder to juggle things. Sometimes my older two don't want to play with my youngest because she knocks their things down, but if she's having a hard time they both want to help her. Like everything in life it's got its ups and downs. It's a learning curve for sure, but I feel like 15 months into it, I'm finally getting a handle on things. 😅

I'm pregnant with my 5th. There was a 7 - and 9-year age gap between my 1st and 3rd and 2nd and 3rd. That's what made it difficult for us. But you're just adding one more to the bunch. Try not to overthink it. The hardest transformation was after having one. Bc you can sleep when your pregnant or at least nap when your one baby does. You can't do that with more than one usually. Best of luck!

The transition difficulty depends on the age gap between your kids. My 3 kids all have 3 years between them, so a 6 year age gap between my oldest and youngest. It's a little easier house work wise because my eldest is more independent, so he helps out with cleaning up after himself (and sometimes after his siblings). It was a little harder to get used to because I have more kids than hands now lol. My youngest is 2 now and I can say I mostly got the hang of going out with 3 kids, there is more order in our household, and I can manage to clean the house again. Give yourself a lot of grace. Try to get organized before baby #3 comes, but understand/accept the order will not come right away. The house will probably be a mess for a while. Teach your older kids to be independent and contribute to keeping the house clean. It may seem like more work at first, but once they master new skills it will make your life easier. Create and lean on your support group. Learn to ask them for help when you are struggling.
