You're a rockstar! I get so much help from my 11 yo, I don't know what I'd do without him. When my step-daughters are here I don 't leave my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329892 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:36:20 +0000 SAHM0811 1329892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: do you take your eldest to school? my DH works long hours so I'm often driving around to and from school and afternoon activities. So we will be leaving the house a lot! I think I'm going to need help in that dept! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329737 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:23:21 +0000 autumnlove 1329737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh oh, I want to TTC later this year before LO #1 turns 3. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329633 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:36:43 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1329633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: This is true, it's never easy, whether it's your 1st or your 10th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329593 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:22:02 +0000 HLK208 1329593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: I read DH the thread and he laughed, lol...just because I don't think we thought having 3 would be that different. I think we're in for a shock ;)</p> <p>I agree with googly-eyes, having a newborn is never easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329588 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:19:23 +0000 googly-eyes 1329588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well you did JUST have that baby!

I haven't attempted to leave the house with all three yet. Mine are currently 3, 22 months and 12 days, so I'm almost a 3 under 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329548 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:03:25 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1329548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: You crazay, lady.

As long as we stay home, lol. No, it's not *that* bad, I just feel like I can't hold a decent conversation and I probably look like I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off.<br /> And my 2nd had just turned 2 when I got pregnant again (NOT planned) and I felt like I had just reached the easy stage with 2 and found my groove. So yeah, I want to treasure these baby days because they go so fast, but 2 years can't come soon enough, as bad as that sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329434 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:22:04 +0000 SAHM0811 1329434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh oh, I'm going to have three kids 6 and under this spring, but I'm looking fwd to it, crazy as it sounds! But yeah, don't know how some of my friends do it! They say the transition to 3 is the "easiest" though? Pls say so too? </p> <p>I also can't wait til #3 is around 2 yo... Not even out if the womb, and I'm counting down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329426 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:19:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1329426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even imagine having two right now!! I'm sure it will get easier but for now just do whatever it takes, including staying home or begging for help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329418 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:17:32 +0000 Greentea 1329418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: go 'gina!

As long I kept that stocked with snacks, it didn't go too bad, lol. I'll probably do it again with all 3 in a couple of years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329397 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:10:55 +0000 chopsuey 1329397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh jk! sorry didn't realize you have 3!!!<br /> kudos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329394 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:10:23 +0000 ALV91711 1329394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't imagine having to get three kids bundled up to go out.

I'm tired and old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-3-kids-they-said#post-1329379 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:05:24 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1329379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"It'll be fun!" they said. </p> <p>Yeah. Until you have to leave the house. With three kids 5 years and younger, it all becomes unraveled very quickly. I don't know how these people with 3 under 3 do it. </p> <p>I have hopes that it will become easier when warm weather comes in approximately 6 months and I no longer have a tiny baby and the blankity-blank infant seat to tote everywhere. </p>
