12:52 am
has been genuinely tough on her. not everybody is sympathetic. her comments have generated some real dialogue. here's abc's reena niner. >> reporter: not many parents with two young kids spend their nights like this. at a mega fashion show in new york. but that's just what kanye and kim did tonight. seen here in this video from "title." even with all the help she can afford, kim now saying baby number two has been a big adjustment. posting this week, i get no sleep. in reference to balancing the needs of her newborn son with those of her toddler daughter north west, seen in this instagram photo. every waking second i'm not with the baby i'm with north. i feel like i go into overdrive to give my daughter attention and make her feel loved. of course as the internet was quick to point out, she probably has lots of help. but there are the sympathizers too. kardashian's comments sparked new dialogue about being a parent in the modern age.
12:53 am
to two or more, the pressure to provide a perfect upbringing for each one has made parenting harder than ever before. it can look a lot like this. corey white and her husband dan gibson are parents to four kids. >> this is levi. olivia. jackson. and then we have emily. if you can see us all. >> reporter: earlier this month the couple posted this video to facebook. showing the ontario mom juggling to put her toddler and three young triplets to bed. the post quickly racked up over 66 million views on facebook. finding out they were expecting triplets was a total shock for corey and dan. >> i went to the ultrasound by myself. and when i got there and they told me it was triplets i didn't know whether to laugh or cry. >> reporter: but sometimes life works that way. just ask nicole mcnamara and her husband melvin. they had one son, melvin, named after his father. and decided to go for one more. >> we got together, we decided
12:54 am
i mean, that was kind of the number we were hoping for. >> easy. >> reporter: instead -- they got these guys, twins hunter and skyler. >> we went into the doctor and he said, well, there's two. and my response was, two what? she was like, two babies. >> i was looking at the screen. i said, yep, i can see two. like a national geographic of animal. yeah, there's two there. kids isn't cheap. the average cost for middle-income families to raise a child in the u.s. is more than $245,000. by the time their kids are 18, nicole and melvin will have spent more than $736,000. and they haven't even paid for college yet. >> child care is extraordinarily food. food is a biggest expense. >> reporter: it's not just everyday costs that add up. those untenable expectations. a study shows that 53% of moms
12:55 am
create perfect life for their children. and 46% have incurred debt as a result. >> it's not uncommon for parents to put their kids first. and even put themselves in debt in order to provide certain opportunities. >> reporter: this idea of perfection is taking a toll on more than just the bank accounts. 44% of moms say they argue with their partner over money. at least some of the time. the percentage jumps to nearly 50% in households with two or more children. >> i think the more personalities you have in the household, the more conflict there will be. and every parent has a different way of parenting. >> reporter: and when it comes to having that second child, women and men appear to have different experiences. according to studies, women and men differ slightly in happiness after the birth of their second child. >> we have a lot more women who are in the work force. and a lot more women who are, you know, earning the living
12:56 am
and then on top of that, they want to be the good mother, the good wife, the good friend. >> reporter: even if it's hard, almost every parent thinks raising children is the most especially if they've had trouble conceiving. on tlc's new show "rattled" -- >> oh, hi, baby. >> reporter: first-time parents ashley and tyson gardner struggle with infertility for eight years before giving birth to two sets of identical twins, a 1 in 70 million chance. >> just having them makes us appreciate every moment. especially having quadruplets. where some people may not be super grateful for such a hard situation, for us we're like, yay! we're so excited. like they all four have poopy diapers and we're like, this is great! >> we are just running a million miles an hour. constantly. >> it is very expense ive.
12:57 am
wipies, medicines, doctor visits. mutt fly that times four. sometimes you're spinning into the ground. >> reporter: seeing they were overwhelmed by the challenge of raising four babies, ashley's sister turned to the internet for help. she helped the gardners set up a facebook page and blog called the gardner quad squad which helped the couple with donated baby clothes and supplies. thankfully for the mcnamaras the newborn phase is behind them. the twins turned 3 in may. it's no walk in the park. both nicole and melvin work full-time, mostly from home. >> work is always here. after the kids go down we go back to our offices. we have to be intentional about saying, okay, this is the kids' time, this is our time. >> reporter: these parents all say they wouldn't trade it in for the world. >> everybody's going to have their ups and downs, their struggles. but children are the greatest blessing ever. no matter how hard the struggle is with them, they're worth every second of it.
