big HELLO to all super mummies in this thread


I was searching through the forum but guessed this is the thread which I may be able to get some views.

I am a FTWM with 2 kids (DD1 (2005) and DS2 (2008)). We am on the idea for #3.

One one hand, we would love to have #3. On the other hand, we are concerned with (1) DD1 needs attention and plenty encouragement to perform. (2) DS2 is ver manja. By having #3, I may deprive them of some attention (3) I do not intend to get domestic helper.

Next year, DD1 will be in student care after class while DS2 will continue to attend childcare. For those that has gone through this, how would you manage the situation assuming #3 is to be placed in infant care? Is everything in a mess (not physical mess)? I can imagine with #3, I may not be able to read or stay with the elder 2 for their sleeping time. This is one of those quality time which we love since they are away from home for whole day. At the same time, #3 will need plenty of care since he/she is still a baby!

How do you divide that limited evening hours among 3 kids? How is your typical day like?

I am battling since I am not that young. If we were to delay this thought, weIl do not know if I will regret later. Sighz.

Hello xygl!! :welcome:

My 3 kiddos all age gap to be exact is abt 19 - 22 mths.. All 3 kids are not planned..

I would say.. time spent or bonding time is difficult to b equal or fair btw 3.. I admit tat no.2 was the most neglected one, as she slp with helper right after i go bak to wrk after my maternity leave.. den #3 came along 19mths later.. so i hardly have time for#2 except during my ML period tat i spend more time with #2..

Right now.. I read to all 3 kiddos together b4 bed.. Time spent.. hard to split.. but i try to do it with all 3 together.. if not sometimes.. i will take time off.. to take each kid out n spend a day with them..

Hi xygl,


I have 3 kids with age gap between 21 - 27 mths and is expecting #4. Honestly if I do not have external help (maid + my dad coming over daily), I will not consider going for >2kids.
Both my 2 older kids are in full day childcare now and my youngest kid is taken care by my maid (with supervision by my dad). Like MintyMin, I will try to take leave and spend one on one time with each of them when possible. It’s not easy to divide my attention equally between them; I am trying my best and still learning.

I also have 3.. errr.. didn't really take note of the age gap..

Having 3 not ez.. agree that the quality of time spend each day will not be evenly spread out..

In fact, the moment I am home, all fighting for my attention...

So, I will try to settle one by one...

Divide and plan out my time and attention for each of them..
