How did you know you were done having kids?

My friend tried for a third to have 3 in 4 years, and they ended up with twins!

No matter what people say, with each child you add, you are taking away time and resources from your other children. Even though I feel my family size is perfect for us, I always have some guilt that I am not giving each child individual attention or spending more one on one time with them.

Yep, so the saying goes. Love is infinite, time and energy are not. (Nor is money.)

I have a friend who had this happen as well except it was 4 in 3 years. She joked she was going to get an IUD and her husband a vasectomy because they just couldn't be too careful (all pregnancies were also over age 37).
