On Having 3 kids and more(?)

[plum_girl]

with three kids here! used to have one for a very, very long time and then my husband and i realized that the house is lonely without little kids' laughter so dagdag ng dalawa kagad hahaha 

[cherrhys]

Kami magiging 5 kids na this March.    Our eldest is a girl and she's 5y.o then we had our twins (boy and girl) who turning 3 later this year.  Then I'm giving birth to another set of twins, boys naman this time.    Kaya good luck na lang sa amin.  At wala talagang masyadong furniture or gamit bahay naman para naman kahit magriot sila dito eh walang madisgrasya.  Mahirap, magulo pero masaya.

We currently have a 5yrs old and a 2 yrs old and a baby boy on the way. I'm 7mos preegy Yes, mahirap, lalo na nasa labas kami ng Pinas so walang maid/yaya,  magulo pero masaya hehe

[meloids]

ako din, i have 3 boys (5yrs old eldest, 3 yrs old 2nd and 1.10 yr old youngest) haaaaayy... <---- yan ang parati kong nababanggit pag nakikita ko yung riot a bahay, pero tama nga yung pedia nila na samantalahin yung pagiging makulit, malambing at parating nakadikit sa parents nila kasi when they reach 8yrs olds pataas hindi na sila magiging kalambing sa atin.

kaya nga ang comment ng mga relatives namin "buti nakakaya mo sila eh puros barako yang nasa iyo?" sabi ko, "e kasi maskulado din ako. hakhak!" but seriously, ang tagal ko din walang yaya, halos 2 yrs na pero still alive and kickin' ang drama ko.

[mommytaf]

Talagang riot yan!! Ako nga may nakakatulong pa mag bantay pero may time na emotionally and physically drained ako sa 3 kong toddlers. 

Iniisip ko na lang, enjoy ko na lang ang moment habang maliit pa sila kasi ang bilis nilang lumaki!!

Before, gusto ko 4. Pero my husband talaga when he was asked during our pre-wedding seminar, he answered 2 lang talaga.

Ngayon, I see his point. We only have one kid. Ubos talaga budget sa tuition pa lang plus because I'm working, I make it a point na I bring her to the mall every now and then to bond with her or splurge on gifts (alam ko bad pero that's my way of compensating for the time I haven't spent with her).

Pero we're planning to have one more. Usapan namin, next year kasi tapos na yung equity nung house namin tapos para sabay na yung 7th and 1st birthday nila. My daughter's turning 5 this October na din kasi.

Sana, gusto ko three din pero kung maghihintay ulit ako ng 5 years na gap between pangalawa and pangatlo (ayokong ayoko na magkakasabay sa college, mahirap na), ilang taon na kami nagpapaaral pa din kami.

Sa ngayon kasi kung matuloy yung plan namin na next year, I will be 28 pag lumabas si second baby. Give or take 22 years old siya matatapos mag-aral, at least pag 51 yo na kami, sarili naman namin ni hubby yung iintindihin namin.

Ang gulo-gulo ng house namin everyday, away dito, harutan dun, suntukan dito, kalat dito, kain dun, sigawan kahit saan ka magpunta. Tapos pag nagsabay-sabay pa sila humingi ng mommy quality time at nagkakainggitan pa. Hahahaha

Ang mga boys ko nga naman! There are times na nakayakap yung eldest ko sa right side ko then my middle son sa left side, pag nagkadikit yung mga kamay nila sa dibdib ko, magpapaluan pa... Dun ka - ako dito eh - LOL! Ang kukulit... Pero I super love it. Kahit anong gulo - di na nga ko sanay kapag tahimik ang bahay namin. 

[trendy]

minsan naiisip ko ang saya nga pag madaming kids pero pag naiisip ko yung gastos, naguguluhan na ko kung ano ba talaga - 1-2 kids lang pero we can send them to good schools, we can travel often, we can buy them lots of things...in short, malayo mararating ng money namin compared to having 3 or more kids, super gastos at baka hanggang bahay na lang kami kasi di na namin afford lumabas.

[twelvth_goddess]

Hubby and I cam from mid-sized families (kame 5 siblings, sila 6). Gusto ko talaga 2 kids lang, since we have a girl na, sana next boy naman pero matagal pa bago ko gusto sundan.

Everything is really expensive nowadays and I want my kids to experience fine things in life naman kahit pano kaya gusto namin 2 lang sila.

[jackzulueta]

Backreading the thread ang saya naman. My husband also wants a big family because he came from a small one. Para daw masaya maraming kids. I just gave birth last January to our first child... yun lang got emergency CS... so ang gusto niyang 5 ay negative na.

[pompz]

I have 2 girls and I'm preggy again, although 5 years apart naman sila, pero ramdam ko pa din ang takot, lalo an sa mahal ng bilihin at ng school ngayon, pero sabi ko nga bahala na si Lord, sya naman madalas magprovide lalo na akala mo hindi mo kaya, tapos di mo pansin nakakaya mo. kung ako lang ayaw ko na sana talaga pero happy naman ako may blessings ulit kami, pero after nito papaligate na ko. Ideal na ang 3 anak para sa akin, para may referee sa dalawa pag nag away hehe

[prettykhae]

here's my 3 little girls

loving my life with them..

sis, ang cucute!

[prettykhae]

I have 2 boys already.. Still thinking if I should try for another (and hoping for a girl na sana) but for now tama na muna silang 2. I'm still 25 pa lang naman mahaba haba pang time. I have not made up my mind yet kasi minsan iniisip ko the 2 are already a handful plus happy na din ako that one looks like me and the other kay hubby.. 

sis, pano naman ako, 26 nako this year pero ala pa ni isa! lol

[cuppie_cake]

^ok lang yan sis, don't rush dadating ka din dyan..

[maui_chie]

we're planning na two lang yung baby namin..right now i have a little boy na, and hopefully yung susunod is girl naman. pero that would be 2-3 years pa..hehe...but if we're ok naman, and kaya naman, mas gusto ko 3 anak ko...ala lang, i just grew up lang siguro with a bit huge family..and i can see the difference kapag maliit ang family..mas madaming kadamay sabi nga nila..pero syempre, i want my children to experience good things in life kaya right now, 2 [textspeak!] ang plan namin. 

[pinkcoyote]

done backreading! Sarap basain ng stories nyo mommies!

Kami gusto din 2-3 kids, ngayon we have 2 na both girls, eldest is 4 yrs and 6 months then i just gave birth last month. I wanted sana after 2 years masundan na hopefully boy, but then sometimes naiisip ko after 5 years na lang para makaipon ipon pa, and sana makabili muna kami ng bahay. Tapos biglang naiisip ko din na gusto ko maaga sana kami mag-'retire' yung wala na pinapaaral. Tapos naiisip ko din yun health risk pag nagbuntis ng nasa 30's na. Eh 28 na ko ngayon going 29.

Ang gulo noh,ang hirap kasi ng buhay ngayon, syempre gusto ko maibigay ang best sa mga kids like good schools and mga travels, kung financially wala namang problema okay lang sana sunod sunod diba hehe

[simple_elegance]

I have 2 boys na, a 7 y.o and a 1 y.o, and Im expecting a baby girl come May. Dati gusto lang namin 2 lang, when baby number 3 came, dami kong worries, pero naisip ko na kahit ano naman challenges na dumating sa amin ni hubby, God has always provided for our needs, siyempre partnered with hardwork. Kaya ngayon, kahit na alam ko life will be more challenging, excited ako to have 3 kids. 2 pa lang kasi parang ang saya saya na, ang gulo ( 2 lang kasi kami ng sister ko). 

[Kady_14]

Lately this has been a debate between me and hubs. 2 na din kids namin, mgkasunod. We had them early, We were both 20 yrs.old then. So ngayon feeling ko tapos na kami sa pag-aalaga. Pero he wants a big family daw. hahaha

2 lang din kami ng brother ko and ganun din sila ng brother nya. so we both came from small families. We live an OK life now, I could say. We are both working. Natatakot ako mg-anak pa kasi magastos and  shempre less spending money na naman kasi we would have to buy baby stuff.

Sabi ko if ever siguro we'll have better pay and jobs. Baka mg-anak pa kami. We'll have a batch 2. lol... asa. 

[hopelessromantic]

Just found out I'm having baby # 5! medyo sad kase ayoko na. My eldest is 6,2nd 4,3rd is turning 3 and [textspeak!] 4th mag 2 this dec. scary din kase sunod sunod. tska biglang maraming worries like educations nila at kung ano ano pa.haaaay.
