Sara Haines is opening up on what life is like with children who are close in age, saying they “just stayed in the chaos.” Haines is a mom to three children, ages 4, 2, and 17 months. Recently, Haines revealed why she and her husband decided on having children close together in age.

During an episode of The View on Monday, the co-host talked to fans and answered their questions with a Q&A on her Instagram Story. Haines answered several different questions about being a mom-of-three. The 43-year-old and her husband, Max Shifrin, are parents to son Alec Richard, 4, daughter Sandra Grace, 2, and son Caleb Joseph, 17 months.

One fan asked Haines how she juggles her three young children while still being a working mom. Haines responded by telling the follower, “If by juggle you mean keep them alive, then yes,” she joked. The talk show co-host went into further detail about why she and her husband decided to have children close in age. Haines says it was because of her own age. She wanted more children, and because she was older, she says they did not have the luxury of time to catch their breath. So, they “just stayed in the chaos,” and now, they are still there, she said, according to PEOPLE. “Send help,” she joked.

Haines, a former Good Morning America personality, also opened up about why she decided to become more family-focused being focused on her career for so long. She told a fan that they have to ask themselves how badly they want it. The fan was wanting to start a family in her 30s and wanted to know more about how to “get over that fear” and just go for it. For Haines, she admits she could not “accept the life” she had accidentally chosen by always choosing work first. She wanted more, she shared, according to OK! Magazine.

Recently, Haines hinted at her husband considering a vasectomy, and also opened up about dealing with postpartum depression. The mom-of-three says she prioritized raising her heart rate for about 20-30 minutes a day to maximize her internal “happy hormones.” Haines described how the “job learning curve” when it comes to being a mom is brutal and is the hardest thing about being a parent. She says you never really know how you are doing, and it usually feels like it’s not enough.
