THE TRUTH ABOUT HAVING 3 KIDS | COPING WITH 3 KIDS

[@triciajohnson10]

As the mom of 8, I can honestly say having 3 is the hardest....when we went from 3 to 4, it was somehow strangely easier and #5 hardly made a ripple in the dynamics of our family. I had 5 kids in 6 years, so they were very close together, then 5 years later (after being told I couldn't have any more) we had 3 more in a 5 year span. No matter how many you have, HAVE FUN! The time flies even on days you think it's dragging.

[@tripnation5647]

Really 8 kids why you dont need that many kids its just dumb

[@triciajohnson10]

I have three I'm single... newborn is not quite one month old...my mother is bitter and won't help cook or do anything. I hate being back home. Need help financially.

Infact its impossible, and I dono how this happened and I m preganent again. One of my cord is removed from uterus. My gynec said, I would get preganent only through ivf.

ikr, so rude!

It's unbelievable, people are so rude.

[@anjavandeloo9913]

It's always rude when people ask if your child was a 'mistake'

[@rachelghatrora3299]

Absolutely loved this and so true! When I had my third baby girl everyone asked if I was disappointed or wanted to try for a boy and always assumed she was a mistake. Having three children who are all the same sex in my opinion is the most special gift xx

Could i ask why xx

Everybody told me it is getting harder but to be honest I strongly disagree the older they get the easier it gets. My oldest is 9 she was the hardest one as a baby now she is the easiest one. the one in the middle is also getting easier with age.

Jackson is about the same age as my first, and watching your videos has taught me so much about being a calm, organized and happy mum. And seeing your three boys make me want to have more children as well- you are truly a supermom Emily!! Xx

I loved having 3 so much i had 4 then 5. It's busy and crazy and noisy and often stressful, but the good moments in between make up for it

I am pregnant with my third boy and also get those ridiculous stupid comments. I also had one person apologize to me when o told them the gender of my third child. It made me so angry and hurt me that anyone would apologize for having another beautiful baby boy

[@Allie3112]

I have 2 kids, a girl (3yo) and a baby boy (2mo). My boy loves the sound of your voice, he was hypnotized while I was watching the video. 😊 So yes, using technology is definitely a big yes for me as well. And thank you for being the voice that calms down my baby. ❤

[@1Plus1isThree]

Thank you for this! It’s starting to get real for me now at 39 weeks with boy no 3. It did make me feel a bit sad for my middle one though as he’s my baby right now.. 😢

[@tiffanycole5990]

I have 3 children to. A set of twins that are boys and they are 6 years old and a little girl that just turned 7 months old. It is tough to have 3 but I would not trade it for the world.

[@niqueysim5306]

I clicked on the right vid this morning. I am due next month with my third boy - all 3 years apart. I always worry that one kid may feel left out especially because my 2 boys have such a beautiful bond. It was nice hearing how easily the third one fits in. People do have negative things to say when they hear it's a third boy but I have embraced it and accepted that i won't have any girls.

[@kahlielsmythe-chukwu2366]

Watch your videos all the time. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment on this video. I also have 3 children ages 6, 5 and a 10 months old (2 boys and a girl in the middle). I just couldn’t agree with you more especially about ‘middle child syndrome’. You do however make it look so easy but I also like your honesty 😄. Keep those videos coming, they’re really helpful.

Thank you for letting everyone into your home & your family life each week, you are truly amazing. I’ve fallen in love with your young men seeing them grow up in front of the camera it’s as though your family are apart of my extended family. I can’t wait to see your next vlog.

Thank you for this video. My husband and I plan to have three..so far we just have one. You gave me great insight on what it’s like. Further more I can understand people who ask if you would like more children, but the ones who ask if your Jackson was a mistake are horrible!

[@kendratai]

Just had my second baby and realized how much i am by myself and the thought of having a third is kinda terrifying in that regard. But my oldest is already very independent and she loves to help so i just have to remember she can step in and help as well

3 children are a breeze 😂. We are now on 4 🙈😱 we have a 7 year old 3 year old twins and a 12 week old. It's crazy but I love it. Like you said we need a massive car and we are looking for a bigger house. I do love having lots of children though. The house is full of laughter and noise. X

[@fabiolaarauz4439]

I lookes for vids re having a third before getting pregnant and dod not find much (wish I had seen something like this!). Last year, we got a new house and a bigger car to fit the three boys and we were spent so could not go on our annual vacay BUT I love that this 3rd has fit right into whatever we are doing and yes, not much more work! Only two downfalls which you mention and are soooo true: 1)the rude comments from ppl who stare like you have 12 kids or something. 2)my middle child can get lost in all this sometimes. Nice vid!

[@stepheniespetcare6390]

I have a 4 year old boy and a 9 month old girl. Everyone just assumes I'm done because I have 'one of each' if I had another gender has nothing to do with it. It would be because I actually wanted another baby.

[@candicevanniekerk8609]

Thank you so much for sharing this video as i've recently had our 3rd baby and youve just put my mind to ease,so again thank you!!

[@AptixD]

Just wanted to point out the music makes it a bit sad, maybe something faster next time? But anyway, I think it's amazing that you want to pay for your kids schools. My parents never did and I couldn't afford a higher education. Even when I tried to do an apprenticeship at work my dad still made me pay rent and stuff (only had about £500pm before tax...) so I had to give that up. Your kids are lucky to have so amazing and loving parents

[@kawther6343]

That’s amazing : I have 2 girls . They are 15 months apart . I got pregnant with my second when my first was 5 months . And now I’m really wanting a third baby 🥲🌸 my eldest is now 2 and my youngest is 10 months

Wow go you. Get working on the partner Hayley! Thank you so much for watching xx

[@carlifarrugia1028]

Oh my gosh! How I wish it were true for everyone that the 3rd child just fits in. I've found it really difficult going from 2 to 3. My third is a really difficult baby, she doesn't like to be put down, she doesn't really like to go to anyone else, she absolutely hates the car and will only tolerate the pram for a short time. She doesn't sleep very well and has to be rocked to sleep. She gets a really sore, gassy tummy. She's 10 months old now and it hasn't gotten any easier. She has 2 older brothers (7 and 3) that are full of energy. Some days I feel like I'm losing my mind. I absolutely love them to pieces, but some days are so hard. I find it so hars to stay on top of everything. But I'm trying to enjoy every bit as much as I can because she is our last and I know I will miss it so much when they're older. On a side note, I have been watching your channel for a couple of years now but this is the first time I've ever commented. I love your videos, I aspire to be a mum like you. I'm so happy for you and love seeing how far you have come :-) all the best to you and your family 💙

I would have another as I mentioned to you before. The only thing is there would be an 9 year age gap. Anyway love the video 👍🏻 xx

[@SisiYemmieTV]

I've often wondered about this! I have one now and quite apprehensive 😂 what I am most worried about is sharing love... would I love another child equally or more? Or less lol you answered my question.

[@MonikaDaily]

I thought that too! I was sure I could't love anyone more than my first son, didn't realise how much my heart could grow :)

[@0392gunia]

I was worried about it as well. And to be honest with you my first child was loved straight away and the next one I was so happy to be pregnant but when it was born I just didn't feel anything. That was so weird to me but luckily the love came after some time. Now she is 5 months old and I love her to the moon and back 😊

[@Skhan-nl2xu]

I am thinking the same thing...i think my first is my heart and soul....

[@alliemille]

I only wanted one child. I was so worried about sharing love. And once we found out we were having a girl a lot of those worries went away. The last few weeks of pregnancy helped too. The anticipation waiting for the baby helped so much. After having her UGH i fell so much in love with her. Often we don't even feel like we have 2 children. 😁

[@dishonesty]

I have 3! 7 year old girl, 4 year old girl and 11 month old boy. I love it, and even though it is harder now splitting my time between the 3, seeing the love they all have for each other makes it so worth it. The older kids loose some one on one attention from us, but its made up with the love they gain from having another sibling. ❤

[@rulouri]

That’s exactly how I feel right now. We’re having boys ages 8yo, 3 yo, and 2 months. The oldest seems to have lost some attention, but he is at a stage where he can appreciate being alone for some time and he also knows to ask for attention when he really misses being seen and heard one on one.
