Parents with 2 or more children

Well I just wanted a place to talk to other Mums all over the world that had two or more children to contend with. Not that I have anything against Mums with only one, but I have two myself and would like to know other people's coping techniques and ideas of things to do, places you enjoy going where both the children can enjoy themselves, etc etc.

So if you have two or more children, feel free to join in  

I have Jasmin who will be three in September and Kai who is just over 5 weeks  

I have three. I have Jerzee, who is 5, Jissella who is almost three and Jaylaa who is 5 months.

I have Ava who is 3, Kiley who is 18 (almost 19) months, and a 3rd due in november :]

well i jave jazmine who is 18 months and baby #2 on the way.. im a little scared as well... im not sure what to expect my hubby is militray so hes at work all day and im here by myself... its hard enough with one i cant imagine with #2

Quoting *Spottieottiedopalicious*:“ I have three. I have Jerzee, who is 5, Jissella who is almost three and Jaylaa who is 5 months.”

Wow, I admire you, how do you find time for anything? Kai is a real fussy baby and I can barely ever get anything done without him screaming and Jasmin always demands things when I am trying to feed/change/wind/bath Kai lol

Quoting Ava&Kiley+1:“ I have Ava who is 3, Kiley who is 18 (almost 19) months, and a 3rd due in november :]”

You are going to be busy too then! I always said I wanted 2 girls and a boy but I am adament as is hubby we don't want anymore babies now and the pain is still fresh in my mind lol! Congratulations on the new edition to be

I feel you Mama. I cope, but it's hard work. I think I'd find it much easier if Kai wasn't so fussy and Jasmin wasn't so demanding. I can't get anything done and it's hard to get a bath let alone anything else done lol! Congratulations on the new baby on the way, how far along are you?

Quoting Suzie (DAS)GDS(BAMF)BBM:“ I have 3  Jasmine is 14 Nicaya is 7 Dominic is 6 months”

They are some perfect age gaps! How do you find having three, are Jasmine and Nicaya helpful with Dominic?

I have 2. My first is 32 months (2 years 8 months). My second just turned one. I completely agree with you that parents with one child do not have the same issues as parents with 2 (or more) have. Who knew that 2 kids is really like 2.5... lol...

I take my kids anywhere. Really. I think it is important for them to be able to do what we do and be exposed to a variety of things.

I generally try to wait until after second naps to do things, though. It is tough when the little one is on a 2 nap schedule still. However, she will be off of that in the next few months, so it won't be a problem anymore.. well... lol at least until #3 comes along... we will hopefully be TTC in July...

tell me about it, I'm already busy! lol. Avas a big helper already with Kiley so hopefully they'll both help out a lot.

I have 3 boys
Daniel is 4 1/2
Kevin is 2
And Charlie is almost 7 weeks.
And life is currently chaotic lol
But it is all evening out.With having more than one i have found with time everything falls into place.
Once a routine is in place the chaos subsides

I have 2 children...Natalee(my step-daughter) is 2 and a half, and Chloe is 1!!!
It was really hard to figure out how to make everything work at first...I found that when i was feeding Chloe, Natalee would want something, I started giving her a baby doll to feed while i fed Chloe...or i would read her a book while i was sitting down feeding Chloe

While Chloe was napping i would make sure to do something special that Natalee wanted to do that way she didn't feel left out b/c a newborn takes so much work lol

It will get easier i promise...the little one will get older and be able to do things on his own

Quoting Gemma ~ Jasmin and Kai's:“ They are some perfect age gaps! How do you find having three, are Jasmine and Nicaya helpful with Dominic?”

They are VERY helpful! Everytime I had a baby, I said "this is the last one".... But it wasn't, lol.... This last time, I just really wanted a boy!

i have a 14 month old girl and a 3 week old boy!!
