I can say in all honesty that the jump from 3 to 4 hasn't impacted us financially at all, yet . There is NEVER a dull moment in our house, there is always lots of noise, laughter and yes the fights but they are always best buddies. They always look out for each other at school or when they go out. DH and the oldest 3 do Taekwondo and we pay a family price so no matter how many kids we have it won't cost us any more. We have a 3 bedroom house, so a bit more room would be nice but we manage. We are thinking about partitioning off the rumpus room and turning it into a bedroom for DS#1 as he will turn 15 soon and having his own privacy would be nice for him. With us having the age gap with our last has turned out perfect as the older children help so much with DD#4, she adores them so much.
