The 10 Best Perks of Having Three Kids

Hey friends! Today, I want to share the ten best things about having a trio of little ones. I mean, sure, you can’t really compare them to anything that comes in threes, right? I guess I could say they’re like the eyes you have to grow in the back of your head when you’re outnumbered! So, here we go—let’s dive into the 10 most awesome things about having three kiddos:

1. They’ll Never Feel Lonely

I once told my oldest that as an only child, I often felt lonely. She replied, “That’s how I feel when I’m awake, but Mia and Jake are still asleep.” Sorry kiddo, but unless you’ve dressed up your stuffed animals and set them up next to you on the couch, you really don’t know lonely!

2. They’ve Got Choices When They Need a Break

If the older two start bickering, they can always have a little tussle over who gets to play with the baby. Well, that sounded better in my head!

3. Hand-Me-Downs Galore!

The girls are nearly the same size, and the baby gets to rock all sorts of unisex clothes. Like that adorable denim jacket. At least it’s a win for the girls!

4. Instant Excuses for Avoiding Plans

Sorry, but we can’t make it to your party—we have three kids under 5. The house is a disaster? Blame it on the little ones. Lost touch since college? Yep, three kids under 5. Ran over your dog? You guessed it—three kids under 5. You get the idea!

5. One of Them is Always Super Cute

It’s like they have a radar for when one is being obnoxious—suddenly, the others want to show off their cuteness. My middle child loves to shower me with “I love you, Mommy” whenever her big sister is in time-out. It’s like a cute overload!

6. Built-In Playmates

If my daughter were an only child, who would play Anna to her Elsa? Exactly! With three kids, there’s always someone to take on a character role, so they never have to fly solo.

7. No One Messes with Them

When we hit the playground, it’s like the cool kids rolling in. No one dares to push around three kids. Plus, my oldest is fiercely protective of her younger siblings—seriously, total boss mode!

8. It’s Never Dull

Well, okay, maybe it’s sometimes painfully boring. But with each child bringing their own unique brand of chaos, there’s always some minor excitement as I shift my focus from one to the next.

9. Parenting Advice? Nope, Not Here!

I don’t know many people with four or more kids, likely because they’re buried in laundry. And honestly, who would dare give me advice after I’ve managed to keep three kids under five alive and well for over a year?

10. They Love Each Other

This is the sweetest part of having three kids. It melts my heart when my daughters call each other best friends or when Mia refers to Jake as “the best baby in the world.” Each moment of sibling love makes all the chaos worth it.

In summary, having three kids comes with its own set of challenges but also brings so much joy. From built-in playmates to an endless supply of cuteness, the perks definitely outweigh the chaos.
