The way parents grapple with (or avoid) their own development becomes a pattern that shapes the inner world of their children. This is my dilemma as a father.

Just have more children. By the 4th you'll have it figured out.
3 is enough.
Don't tell my youngest that!
We would have gone a fourth as the biggest jump was from two to three and we have a massive gap between the first two and the third and it would of been cool for him to have a sibling close in age.
One thing I've found is that I was sold the idea and once your kids hit 16ish then parenting gets slightly easier which is absolute bullish 😂 Late teenagers are10x the work, resources, drama, facilitating and shepherding but ultimately just as rewarding albeit in a different way.
The work never stops as a parent, just gets slightly more frustrating.
