Overview

In this “Short & Sweet” episode, real-life best friends Jessica Capshaw and Camilla Luddington—known for their roles on Grey's Anatomy—dive into the chaos, humor, and realities of parenting, specifically tackling the recently circulated claim that “four kids is the least stressful number of children.” Jessica, who has four kids, offers candid, often hilarious insights, while Camilla, mom to two, probes the myth with curiosity and skepticism. Their conversation is filled with confessions, pep talks, and relatable anecdotes about family, fights, personal limits, and surrendering to the mess of modern motherhood.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Is Four Kids Really Less Stressful?

• Camilla brings up a TODAY survey of 7,000 US mothers, which states “having four kids is the least stressful” and asks for Jessica’s expertise.
  • [02:52] B: “I know someone that has four children and would probably like to speak on this. And so here I am pulling my hair out over two…”
  • Jessica and Camilla immediately ironize the idea, laughing at the “super easy” myth.
  • [03:35] A: “If you'd only had two more, you'd be, oops, chill.”
  • [03:42] B: “Let's definitely talk about how easy it is to have four children, because that's just the truth.”

The Journey from One to Four

• Jessica reflects on the phase-by-phase stress of parenting:
  • One Child: Most challenging due to everything being new and unfamiliar.
    • [04:22] B: “One is definitely probably the most challenging because it's all new. ... How did they let us go home with [the baby]? We don’t know what we’re doing.”
  • Two Children: “The sneaky sneak attack,” where parents are caught off guard by how exponentially more complicated it is (“Who’s going to take care of the first one while I do the second one?” [06:21] B).
    • [06:15] B: “How hard can it be? … Turns out it was really, really hard.”
    • Jessica shares her desire to keep her eldest’s life unchanged, which leads to humorous recollections of post-birth struggles (“sitting on my ice,” using numbing spray [07:18] A).
  • Three Children: Begins the process of “surrender.” Jessica describes the feeling of being outnumbered and the necessity of accepting help and abandoning perfection.
    • [09:21] B: “It was the beginning of the surrender. … I’m really outnumbered.”
    • [09:59] B: “I am a recovering perfectionist. I am a recovering people pleaser.”
  • Four Children: Involves further acceptance and more letting go. Jessica organizes for “survival,” not just perfection, and grapples openly with limits.
    • [10:17] B: “The amount of time that I put into organization actually makes my life easier. … The organization is actually survival mode.”

Fighting, Fairness, and Family Dynamics

• Jessica confesses that sibling fights are her biggest parenting stressor, especially as someone who didn’t fight with her own siblings and still feels awkward about conflict.
  • [16:15] B: “I didn’t grow up fighting with my siblings... I don’t really feel like I'm all that good at fighting.”
  • [16:32] B: “You're meant to fight. But ... the secret is you need to fight well.”
  • She emphasizes letting her kids work things out for themselves, “sitting in the sh--” ([16:58] B).
• Camilla is curious about “two against one” scenarios with multiple children.
  • Jessica clarifies that, in her brood, fights are “only ever one on one” ([17:44] A).

Personal Limits and Why Family Sizes Are Deeply Individual

• Both hosts discuss personal thresholds and question if they could handle more children.
  • [17:54] A: “I don't know if I would be as good of a mom in a way to, like, more than my 2. I feel like I'd start to tap out.”
  • Jessica: “I think it's so individual. I think everybody has a different breaking point. … The thing that super stresses me out may not be stressful to you at all” ([18:30] B).
• They agree that the “right” number of children is highly personal.
  • [21:01] B: “There's always chaos ... and there's always peace. … However many kids you want to have is exactly how many kids you have. ... You can all have your opinions about it, and I don't care.”

Memorable Anecdotes & Quotes

• The “survival mode” mentality and giving up on perfection:
  • [09:59] B: “I am a recovering perfectionist. I am a recovering people pleaser.”
  • [10:17] B: “Organization ... is actually survival mode.”
• On parenting studies:
  • [21:01] B: “I think that this is just a nice little chuckle. ... However many kids you want to have is exactly how many kids you have.”
• On sibling fights:
  • [16:58] B: “Sometimes you just gotta sit in the sh--. There's a little bit of surrender there too. You're like, all right, just don't kill each other. Don't hurt each other.”
• Camilla’s honest self-reflection:
  • [17:54] A: “I don't know if I would be as good of a mom in a way to, like, more than my 2. … I feel like I'd start to tap out.”

Capshaw and Camille Ludington and iHeartRadio podcast foreign.

[A]

Crew. And welcome to another episode of Short and Sweet.

[B]

Oh, we're gonna talk about kids and that's so sweet.

[A]

I sent this to you.

[B]

You did?

[A]

I was like, don't answer me. I want to know your answer on the podcast.

[B]

What you sent me.

[A]

Well, I sent you an article and it talked about how having four kids is apparently the least stressful number of children. They say a survey conducted by today of 7,000 US mothers found the ideal number of kids for the least stressful life is four. And I thought, I know someone that has four children and would probably like to speak on this. And so here I am pulling my hair out over two and I was like, if I just had two more.

[B]

If you'd only had two more, you'd be, oops, chill.

[A]

So chill.

[B]

Yeah, you could have it all. Because let's definitely talk about how easy it is to have four children because that's just the truth.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, super easy.

[B]

So let's make that seem like it's not stressful.

[A]

I'm going to, I'm going to laugh.

[B]

This whole short and sweet.

[A]

I want to hand the mic to you.

[B]

Yeah, okay, let's do it.

[A]

As a four kid expert.

[B]

There'S no such thing. Okay. So, I mean, again, I always have follow up questions, so it really just depends on who you are. That's the number one thing to say. But I, I was thinking about the different because obviously you go from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4. And I was trying to think about what it was like when I. When there was one and when there was two and three.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All the differences. And I think, you know, going in order, I think that one is definitely probably the most challenging because it's all new. Yeah. And I definitely remember having baby Luke on day. I don't know. Well, I guess it was night night two or three where I was like, I can't believe they let me go home with him. Like, how did they let us go home with. We don't know what we're doing.

[A]

Yeah, it's terrible. It is terrifying. That's when I. Maybe number one's when I called you and I said, I don't know how to swaddle and you're on the freeway and you're like, I'm coming over.

[B]

I remember that. I remember that call and I remember that pull off the four or five. Actually think it was the one on one anyways. So I think one is definitely stressful or challenging or whatever word you want to use. Number two is a sneak attack because you're like, I got this. I have my one. I know what I'm doing. I'm comfortable, I'm cozy. I know things. Also, by the way, worth mentioning is I think everyone who's about to have a baby or has number one acts like they're the first person in the entire world to have a baby? Did you ever have that thing where you're just like, it's not superiority, but you're just like, oh, but you're reading up on all the things, and so you're like, oh, I. Let me tell you, this new study. Oh, no, no, no. We have to silicone this. Oh, no. We have to use organic. I must have been insufferable.

[A]

I was. I have to tell you, I was not that parent. Like, I was not that, but. But I met that a lot.

[B]

That was me.

[A]

Yeah. No, I was not.

[B]

Yeah, I would have. I would have.

[A]

Did you take, like, Lamaze class? I didn't take one single birthing anything. I just thought I could figure it out on the day.

[B]

Well, so many people have done it before us.

[A]

That's what I thought. I was like, what? Just a little breathing, a little push.

[B]

Yeah. How hard can it be? How hard can it be? Really hard. Turns out it was really, really hard.

[A]

It turns out it's hard.

[B]

So I think two is the sneaky sneak attack, because you think you know it, and then all of a sudden they come and you're like, wait a second. But who's gonna take care of the first one while I do the second one? Yeah, because it turns out you got to take care of.

[A]

Yeah. And usually, like, I, I, I. I imagine that most of the time you're probably dealing with a toddler. Right? Like, so you have toddler energy and then baby. Baby energy. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, That's. That's the division. And then I also remember getting home from the hospital and. And wanting so badly for Luke's life to not be affected by Eve, that I was straight up, like, out with him, getting chicken tenders and fries. The day after I came home from the hospital, like, sitting on my ice. My ice. I still had ice in the underwear. I was still using the spray thing.

[A]

Oh, yeah, the numbing spray. Nobody told me about that, by the way.

[B]

No, they don't.

[A]

They didn't.

[B]

No, they don't. They don't. They don't tell you about that stuff before they tell you after. That's a better approach.

[A]

So wait, by baby number four, are you just, like, with that spray?

[B]

No. You know, no. Maybe this is the sweet spot. Maybe number four, you're like, meh.

[A]

You're like, whatever. How many stitches?

[B]

25.

[A]

Good.

[B]

It's fine. Yeah. So two, I think, is. And then two is stressful. For that reason, you're taking care of the first. You didn't. You don't even know that first one. You haven't even known them for that long probably, right? You've only known him a couple years.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Professional. You're new here. Yeah, yeah, They're. They're new. You're new to them. Yeah, it's still new. And then you got a real new. A brand new. So you're learning that. And, you know, we just went straight into three. I mean, I look back on it and I'm like, whatever you believe in, like, the forces, the life forces that Poppy James Gavigan was coming in no.

[A]

Matter what, in hot.

[B]

She was coming in hot. Because I was 10. I had a 10 month old and.

[A]

A 3 year old.

[B]

A 10 month old, and I got pregnant. So Poppy's 20 months.

[A]

Can I ask you. Did you. Can I ask if you plan that pregnancy?

[B]

Yes. You planned that pregnancy? Yes.

[A]

Were you out of your mind? Oh, my God. You know what it is, though, about you? And I actually literally just said this on set yesterday because I was on site yesterday and someone was. I was. You know, there is a pregnancy on the show.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

And I was talking about being pregnant, and I was like, cap shot. You know, we talked about how you are walking false advertisement for pregnancy. I think that you were probably okay getting pregnant again at 10 months because you like pregnancy.

[B]

I do, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So it's not me. I would have been like, there's no way I'm planning that pregnancy at 10 months. Okay. So 10 months. Poppy's coming in hot.

[B]

Poppy's coming in hot. I'm pregnant again. And then when the. The third. I remember the beginning of what probably completely happened with the fourth, which is that the surrender. It was the beginning of the surrender. It was like, I'm. I'm really outnumbered. I really don't. I mean, like, on any given day, is it safe for me to have them alone?

[A]

Well, that's what. That's what?

[B]

Don't I need someone. I don't care who.

[A]

To be honest, experts say that after three parents hit survival mode and let go of perfection.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I didn't. I am a recovering perfectionist. I am a recovering people pleaser.

[A]

I was gonna say you did not let go. Perfection. I have been over to your house many times, and the organization is like expert level in your household. It runs efficiently.

[B]

Well, you see the organization as attempts at perfectionism. I get that. It actually is. When you think about it, the. The amount of time that I put into the organization actually makes my life easier. So the organization is actually survival mode. Yeah, survival mode. And like a method, there's a method to my, my madness. Like, I, I'm, I'm investing now to get a little bit more payoff later when I'm organizing. But I think that that was when there started to be some surrender. And I, It's a real reckoning with. I can't do it all. I can't do it all. And I need help. I need help with all the things. Like, I, I've always had help. Like, you know, Christopher's an incredible father. Like, super hands on, always there. I love when people say the fathers are hands on. Like, what are they going to hand off?

[A]

Yeah, a few hands off.

[B]

So, you know, incredible father and, and I have incredible family. So it's, you know, it's, it's not like I was ever alone, but I think that sometimes you're alone with your thoughts or you can make it. You can put that pressure on yourself. Like, I gotta do this, you know, I gotta do this and I gotta do that. And that can make you feel alone. It's not the people around you that make you feel alone. It's your. It's you. And I think that I started to understand definitely, absolutely in no way, shape or form could you. Could I. And, and then, and then there was the little break, right? Because if the, If Eve and poppy were 20 months apart, then Jo.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Poppy and Josie are almost four years apart. There was a break and then it was kind of like, oh, gosh, you know, oh, is there another, Is there another baby that's coming? And then, and then there was. And now I can say that 4 is pretty great.

[A]

I can't Picture you without four.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, your crew is like your. You got a squad. You got a squad going over there.

[B]

Yeah. And well, now they're really all such different ages.

[A]

I know.

[B]

And I think gender probably contributes too, because, I mean, I do think that they do become a. Like a pack. And sometimes that works for you and sometimes that works against you. I find the most stressful thing, the fighting. I. And I don't. It's just, it's. I didn't grow up fighting with my siblings also because I was like, substantially older. Like, it was. There was a big drop off after me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I didn't fight with my siblings. And so I don't. I would actually. I'm realizing this about myself in life lately. I don't really feel like I'm all that good at fighting. Like, I think there's actually an efficient and like. Like a good way at fighting, like, being fair. So.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

Well, and that's what I keep saying to the kids. I feel like we've talked about this before, but it was. It's that idea that you're actually not. You're. You're meant to fight. But what the. The secret is you need to fight. Well, yes, relationally.

[A]

We've talked about this. Yeah.

[B]

And I. I didn't really learn that. So when my kids start fighting, sometimes I. Well, I used to get a lot more stressed out about it because I wanted to fix it right away. Like, I wanted the fight to be over. I wanted them to get to the. The good part.

[A]

The.

[B]

The part where they made it. And sometimes you just gotta sit in the sh. There's a little bit of surrender there too. You're like, all right, just don't kill each other. Don't hurt each other.

[A]

This is so interesting to me. Okay. I want to know how you navigate this, because I have. Obviously my kids are 8 and 5, so it's a little bit different. And they're like. I mean, they're arguing over the stupidest all the time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you let the girls. Because the girls are in the house right now. Do you let. If they're in a fight, do you find that, like, the third one wants to take a side? And you're like, how are you navigating the two against one potentially? Because that's what. I didn't like. Growing.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I didn't like, like, you know, that kind of dynamic. Usually it's.

[B]

Usually it's actually only ever one on one.

[A]

That's so good. So the other one isn't getting involved.

[B]

No. Not really. Not really.

[A]

Oh, that's good. That's good.

[B]

I don't know if it's good or bad. It's just. That's how they do. That's how they do.

[A]

Do you think that. Because I've thought a bit about this too. I. I literally talked about having more kids the other day. Not that I'm having more kids, just like, the conversation of it. And I don't know if I would be as good of a mom in a way to, like, more than my 2. I feel like I just have, like. I feel like I'd start to tap out. Yeah, a little bit. Because it's like you're just juggling so many balls. Do you ever feel that way with four? Or do you feel like I can give every. I can still do it. Or maybe that's an individual thing where, like, I can't, but you can.

[B]

I think it's so individual. I think everybody has a different breaking point. Everybody has. You know, the thing that super stresses me out may not be stressful to you at all. So it's like, really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, I think it's so fascinating that people like to talk about parenting because it's just such a unique experience. I think. I think the reason why people like to talk about it is because it's great to hear other perspectives. It's nice and it's nice to communicate. And if you're in an environment where you're not judging each other and you're not, you know, telling each other what to do, you're just sharing your experience, you know, because again, I don't know. There's. I. There's some. There's certain days that I could truly answer that I find that I'm. That. That I don't think that it's too much and that I. I would report complete happiness and satisfaction and having four and.

[A]

Yeah, yay.

[B]

And. But then there's other days where I'm like, who. I mean, you know, we've. We've talked about this too. They'll. They'll. Once they get school age, they'll. They'll get you with those admin. All that admin stuff. That, that, that, like, who just all the paper. Well, the non. Paperwork.

[A]

I think it's also like the part that's like, they. Now they're having interests that. One wants to do gymnastics, one wants to do soccer. Now you're here. Now I. I literally don't know how you do it with four. Like, even with two. And Lucas is young. He doesn't Have a lot going on. He's little. Once. They're like, I just don't understand. Like, just purely the amount that you're driving kids around in the car with.4 just blows my mind.

[B]

Yeah, you do. And then. And. And you're like, good, until you're not. It's funny. I had a bunch of driving to do the other day, and I was like, I'm cool. We're chilling in the car. And then I got out, and all of a sudden, God, I truly. I became. It was like Burger Gate all over again. I roared. I was like, I'm. I just hit my limit. I was like, nobody talk to me. I'm done with you all. It's funny how you blame them, you know, Like, I've been driving all day for you. They're like, actually, it's just called getting where I need to be. Why does it have to. Why do you have to make it so personal? This isn't about you, Mom. Okay, fine. It's not about me.

[A]

My God. Do you think it helped that you grew up and then you. Your mom had so many kids? Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, I grew up very familiar with lots of people, and I find that it's such a emotional hug. Like, I love being around all of them. And so I just, you know, it's great. Listen, it's worked out for me. I think it's not for everyone. I think it's fascinating when people come out with these studies that say, you know, one is the best or two is the best.
