Why three is the most stressful number of children to have – BUT mothers of four are MORE relaxed

New York-based psychiatrist Dr Janet Taylor – whose own four children, including a set of twins, range in age from 19 to 25 – explained why four kids are easier to handle than three.

As far as perfectionism is concerned, ‘there’s just not enough space in your head’ once you have at least four children, claims Dr Taylor.

Plus, she asserts: ‘The more children you have, the more confident you become in your parenting abilities. You have to let go.’

Obsessively making the house baby-proof, for example, becomes less of a priority after the third child. ‘It just gets to be survival!’ she joked.

Readers react to RBSA email saying trustees have no longer have children’s interest  in the program

I think it’s clear that based on the wording of the letter, that Jim sounds like he would vote for anything to get his baseball fields built. I wouldn’t bet on a no vote on any other expansion plans if he can get others to vote for his fields.

glad this is out finally and gary is telling the truth. jim is only the sports candidate and will say anything to get elected. jim thinks the hospital is to much for his neighborhood but doesn’t care about another part of ridgewood. elect him so he can represent his buddies but not the rest of ridgewood. don’t beleive anything jim says about being against the hospital and does he really think the hospital will withdraw the plans because he said so? anyone who thinks the rbsa will bench their kid for not helping jim should probably not be in such a bad program. when i registered my kids for rbsa i didn’t think i was registering for politics.
thanks gary for exposing jims real agenda.

Gary is politically active and should have kept the RBSA out of the political fray. He and other trustees have no longer have children in the program. It’s really time to pass the torches on to new volunteers.
