That's why I usually have one or two kids at most for the first generation (or two) in a save.
Once you're deeper in the family tree - and especially if you have grandparents to help still in your household - then three kids aren't that hard to manage if you micromanage the game and cycle vacation days so that you have at least two adults at home.
In my main save, the household is at 7 sims - G9 pair (maxed careers working 3 days/week), G10 pair (heir working M-F, his wife unemployed stay-at-home mom), and their three kids (all toddlers now - twin girls and a younger boy). The G9 pairs has only one day when they both work and quite a surplus of vacation days, so I can make any of them stay home and help anytime (and I could pretty much just grab all their vacation days to stay until aging up to elders and then just have them retire). Though this may be affected by me playing on modded lifespan (roughly normal x2,5).
