I am just wanting a bit of advice from people who have 3 children. I currently have a girl of 6 and a boy of 3 and we are tryingto decide on whether or not to have a 3rd child.The main issue is my daughter who has autism and is extremely difficult to look after. Ideally i would like my daughter to not have to share her bedroom as she waited 5 and a half years to get her own room and because of her autism, she likes everything to be as she likes it in her room. I guess what i really want to know how people cope with 3 kids and also how do people cope with 3 kids if they have a car, I have a 5 door fiesta, so i was wondering if you manage to get 3 kids in your car. Sorry for the long post and thanksin advance.

Hi Ive got no kids at the min (currently expecting for 1st) but I am from a family of 3 children. Ive got 2 older brothers.

Most problems we had were that alot of things catered to families of 4, such as holiday deals etc, however, ive got to say that I really enjoyed there being 3 of us, although, one down side was in a 4 bed house the smallest bedroom (which was mine) was always very small.

Im hoping to have 3 children myself 1 day. Also, we never had any problems with cars etc. I hope this helps a bit.

thanks for our advice. I too am from 3 kids (i am the middle one) and i dont remember us having that many problems, but then again as a child i probably didnt take much notice lol. Anyway thanks for your advice and good luck with your pregnancy, i hope it all goes well.

I have 3 children and i think i cope very well. I have a people carrier for my car but we have had in the past a small 3 door peugeot and managed well.

If u are certain u want a baby, u will manage and cope.

I had 3 until 3 years ago when I had another 2. The older 3 were then 11, 8 & 7. The eldest is a girl n always had her own room. The 2 boys shared. I never really had any problems, had a biggish montego, then swapped to a people carrier, just because the boys were still both in bulky car seats and my daughter used to be stuffed between the 2. Then 3 years ago I had another baby, and another 1 a year later. My then 11 year old daughter found herself sharing her bedroom with the eldest, and later the baby when she moved out of our room. We swapped bedrooms so the girls have the biggest one. Hubby and I are in the smallest room where u can just fit a bed n 2 chests of drawers and JUST be able to walk round the bed lol. I guess your biggest obstacle is your daughter with autism, and whether she would be able to share a room. However, the 2 younger ones can share for a good while and u may be able 2 think about a loft conversion or an extension. I believe social services can sometimes help with the cost of that. Hope that helps

I have 3 children all boys and my eldest is disabled, we have had a loft conversion and now have a bedroom for each of the boys and a spare as we used to have an aupair but I have to say the eldest and the youngest share, or should I say my youngest who is very protective of his brother will sneak into his bed. Not sure how he will cope as my eldest son is off to residential college in September.
My boys are 16,15 & 11 so we also had the issue with the car seats in the beginning but having said that we did not a car with a front airbag so I used to have to sit between the boys in the back and one in the front until they were ok with booster seats. We now have a 7 seater but they all still sit together.

I have 3 children, the eldest has autism 12, the 2nd has aspergers and adhd 7, the 3rd, DD will eventually be diagnosed i'm sure is 3. there would be no chance in hell of a successful share between the 2 older lads, the eldest needs order and peace, the middlest thrives in mayhem, no way could it work, and we've tried, believe me, we ended up renting our house out so we could rent a 4 bed,
You will need a bigger care, you have to get 3 car seats in the back and they won't fit, we had a 106, i think we got a battered ole zantia estate, and then a serena, plenty of space!
