Going from 3 to 4

I have three boys aged 1, 6, and 7. My husband and I want another child but we are concerned about what kind of workload this will mean. does anyone out there have four and can tell me what we are in for?

I was going from 3 to 4 also and found out having twins now i`m going from 3 to 5 very scary!!

Congratulations that must also be exciting for you and your family

OH MY GOD. now I am really scraed of this 3 to 4 thing.....hehe smile

From what I know you will need to get a bigger car. I don't think family dynamics changes all that much though. If you can cope with 3, you can cope with 4.

Good luck.

I have just gone from 3 to 4 children. My son is now 6 weeks old and my other children are 8 yo twins and a 5 yo daughter. I also have 2 stepdaughters, aged 14 and 8. To me the only hard part about it is trying to get the girls ready for school of a morning as he wants to be fed at this time and feeding the girls dinner as also he wants a bottle. I just start to cook dinner earlier now and the girls are helping me both day and night. Good luck. But its not that hard.

I have 4 and found going from 3 to 4 was just as easy as going from 2 to 3!
We had to get a bigger car, and we now have a bigger house, but that was part of the plan when we had 3 anyway.
My 4 are 6, 4, 2 (nearly 3) and 1.
It's hard around school pick up and drop off, but you learn to juggle that pretty quick! Have a good routine in place and you'll be fine!

Hi there,
I have 4 also, (ages 7, nearly 6, 3 1/2 and 1) and i was going to say the same as Nic Doula mum 2 4 said, i also found it as easy going from going 2-3, i actually found going from 1-2 harder!
And its not as hard as some make it out to be, not that im saying its a walk in the park, but you do learn pretty quickly how to work around some things. Again, a good rountine helps!

Good luck with yr decision smile

To those with more than 3 children; what cars do you drive? We just bought a 2nd hand pajero, which has 7 seats. But to fit pram, stroller, groceries etc into the back the 2 rear seats need to be up. We just had our 3rd child (6 weeks, 20 months and 3) and I would like more. But how do you fit them into the car?

Hello. I have the same car and have 3 kids. We are thinking about number 4 and i'm worried about room too. I think i will be ok as my oldest is at school so will only need the back seat when picking and dropping her off. My girls are 5 1/2, 3 and 19mths. I think you should look at a people mover as they have the most room and space for pram and shopping.
Good luck.

We actually have the same cars as we started out with, a 2 door car and a biggish 4door car, we normally never go out as family and if we go away we always took the 2 cars,(like on holiday). And with 2 of the kids at school, they take the bus 2 and from on so i have rm in the car as i have only 2 at hme or dropping 1 at kindy etc during school hours.
But we are looking at buying a people mover of some kind coz we plan on having more kids, something with a bit of power 2, so cant help you there sorry sad
