To Those with a Spouse at Home, How are you all even doing this?😮‍💨

Over here, with my two kids (8 and 1) and my wife staying home, I feel like I'm constantly trying to figure out how to get a side hustle going and still be a really present husband and dad. It's a real balancing act. And don't get me wrong, no complaints! I honestly love having my wife home, and she's an awesome mom. Plus, sending both kids to daycare just to make ends meet doesn't make sense to me. So, for anyone in this boat, or if you've been there and came out the other side: What's actually working for you? How did you get through this phase? Any real-world tips or just shared stories would be super helpful. #ParentingLife #DadLife #WorkLifeBalance #StayAtHomeMom #SideHustleStruggles #FamilyFirst #RealTalk #LifeWithKids #SeekingAdvice

Those with 3 kids, do you wish you stuck with 2? Those with 2, do you wish you had a 3rd?

We’re a family of four—our daughter is seven, and our son is 16 months old. Honestly, the age gap isn’t nearly as tricky as I once imagined! I’m 37, my wife is 33, and lately, we've been tossing around the idea of having a third child.We’re really happy with our boy and girl, but there’s this lingering thought—what if we regret not trying for one more before time slips away? I’m an only child, and my wife grew up as one of four, so we’ve seen both sides.We’re fortunate to have good jobs, though we don’t have much family nearby for extra support. My biggest worry? Not having enough of myself to go around for quality one-on-one time. And working as a paramedic, I know too well the risks that come with rolling the dice again.Parents of two or three—how did you make your decision? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences in the comments! #GrowingOurFamily #ParentingDecisions #FamilyLife #LifeWithKids #BigFamilyDreams #Parenting
