In all honesty going from 2 to 3 was harder than 1 to 2. Doesn’t mean impossible just harder. After 3 it’s a walk in the park

I thought going from 1 to 2 was harder than going from 2 to 3. But my first two were only 18 months apart, so having two under two was way harder for me; my third and fourth were a walk in the park compared to that!
My first two are older, 17 & almost 21… their little sister will be 6 months in a few days. With that much of a gap, it’s really not bad at all.
The transition of 1-2 is the hardest in my personal opinion as a mom of 4 
my oldest was 4 when I had 2nd, and it was reallllllly rough, where my 2nd was 15 months when I had my 2rd, 3rd was 15 months when I had my 4th and it was a breeze for me personally. 3 boys and a girl here, so that being said there’s always chaos because the boys are boys wrestling, fighting over toys, running, hyper, etc lol.
I found going from 2-3 easier than going from 1-2 . I think it just depends on the kids. My middle son was a wild child, I had his little sister when he was 3, and he chilled right out and always wanted to hold her and help with her. While my oldest was in school
I have five. I found the transition from 1-2 harder than the additional ones. Three was great because there was less competition and rivalry. And when one is mad at the other, there’s always someone else to go play with.
I have two and they are different.
Depends on the age group. I’m always tired I’m up before sunrise and I feel like I’m running a zoo with no barrier between the lions and antelope.
I have a 8,3 and almost 1 year old.
If I’m not cleaning messes or cleaning butts or faces I’m cooking and doing damage control.

It’s harder when there under age 5 and there close in age if your gonna go for a 3 or even 4 definitely give some time because it’s rough yea it’s easier like knowing what to have and not to carry as much items like with the first one I mean by the time you have more than 2 your a pro but it is hard because of many things there ages than come teen years I know I’m suffering I have 4 girls 3 are teens like 17,16&13 my youngest is 9 so it’s not no walk in the park I can tell you but I also had alot of other issues at play two were special needs and than them being close in age I have very kids but I guess it goes with the territory of teens except now my 9 yr thinks she’s a teen too lol 
so really gotta think about it can u handle multiples will I have help in outings I didn’t do I struggled. And regardless kids are loving and amazing but there a handful
I have 4 first was a set of twins I thought they were easy until they reach in preschool age and I had two singles. Singles were harder because with the twins I had support when my 3rd came in were in our own place instead staying with our parents
It’s just a little more chaos. But now your a seasoned mom and mostly know what to expect. It was pretty easy for me
I have 5. It’s harder the more kids you have. No sugar coating here. I don’t regret it at all but I’m fking tired !
I have 5 (14(bonus daughter),8,4,2,1) and due with 6th in oct
My seconds nickname is tiny terrorist and he taught everything to the 2 year old who is in turn teaching everything to the 1 yr old the 4 year old is closer to the 2 year old but the 8 yr oldplays with them whe he feels like it but when playing they forget the 2 year old is there so he plays with the 1 yr old its hard alot of days but worth it be ready for the toddler years they are the hardest in my opinion.
