I sometimes feel this way because I remember what I could accomplish with only two vs. Three. BUT the kids never feel this way, and they feel they have gained so much more by having ds2 in our family. I've actually talked with them about this before and they have no idea what I mean when I've brought it up.

If we had stopped at just ds1 we'd have so much more $, he'd be in lots of cool activities, have all my time/attention for awesome homeschooling, we'd go on vacation trips every year, etc... and that would have been super fun . But he prefers having siblings, he'd rather have his little brother and sister than all those things. I've learned to accept my children's perspective that they prefer another person in our family and not worry that they're deprived of "extras" because they don't feel deprived, they're very happy.
