I have two boys, 11 (5th grade) and 8 (3rd grade). I can't believe I'm going to have a middle schooler next year!!  |
I wasn't sure if we'd have a 3rd or not; it took some convincing to get DH on board. I was the oldest of 3 kids, but he was an only child.
I thought going from 1 to 2 kids was a hard adjustment. Once I was used to juggling multiple kids and sets of needs, going from 2 to 3 was much easier. I tell people 3 is busier than 2, but not necessarily harder. Now that they're older I think our family dynamic is influenced more by their personalities than by the number of kids.
Here 6th grade is in elementary school, but after that we're districted for one of the few secondary schools (grades 7-12) in the county. I'm dreading that adjustment. I wish DS could go to a middle school or junior high instead.
