If you're over 38 - no.

I think it's ethically irresponsible to have more than one kid, the world is already over-populated as it is...why not just adopt or foster-to-adopt?

I'm thinking about going along. Bad idea?
My son (a twin) and his wife had triplets 11 May after adopting a baby a year and a half ago. She was not supposed to be able to conceive. I am headed to Chattanooga 26 May where they are currently staying until the boys (born 2 1/2 months pemature) are strong enough to live without assistance. One of them has Spina Bifida and does not have movement in his legs. I am asking for the prayers of those who believe for the health of the boys going forward. TIA. Afterwards I am going to Louisville for family reunion. Have not been home since my mother died early morning April 3 2012. Yes, a few hours after the national championship game. She raised me on UK basketball. Wished she were here to see my grandsons.

By the by, you are the only one to decided on the third crazy. Me, the more the merrier. Good luck and God bless.

Isn't he the oldest? It's probably too late then.

In Josh's defense, given that his sisters make up a rather large percentage of the world's female population, it's understandable that he'd be attracted to a couple of them.

Well, I guess I don't blame him then.

Easy answer is no. It just doesn't work that way in reality, and either way is going to cost you dearly.

Good luck!

In all seriousness I've got three myself. I have found that were able to play in any combination of two, but rarely all three.

It changes vehicle choices because a sedan would suck as they get bigger. It makes going out to eat suck because you either wait longer or sit at the end of a table and etc etc.

There are plenty of disadvantages. With all that said my second son was a gift and I couldn't now imagine life without him.

Absolutely WC, best to you and your family. Hang in there.

Third is great....certainly challenges but well worth. Biggest difference is the percentage chance one of them is melting down. It goes up by more than the 1/3 the math indicates. The other 3s dads' will attest.

Somebody is wigging out at all times.

As long as you can afford to pay for a decent education so he/she can get a good job, and raise him not to be a deadbeat, go for it. I'll be needing contributing taxpayers to support my retirement.
