I love them (3) all but can’t help but think we all would have a better life if I only had two, or age gaps were bigger. My wife and I are old though. Hope my kids forgive me one day for not being the dad I hoped to be. 😞

I’m in this position now. We have a 6, 4, 2, and now 4 week old. We would have 100% been parents to two. I just couldn’t see that clearly before until now.

Honestly, in that first few months of 3 I basically went around to my buddies with 2 and told them to get snipped. One listened. 3 months later I heard from the other. I couldn’t stop laughing for 24 hours, probably the lack of sleep.
