[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids under 5 and the youngest is currently 6mo. DH and I are discussing whether or not we should have a 4th. If you went from 3 kids to 4, or decided not to, what was your reasoning? Are you happy with your decision? [/quote] We have three and decided against a 4th. Mostly, it’s the cost as we’d be looking at another $500k to $1 million decision between childcare, general expenses and college as well as time as we’d be dividing our parental duties further and we’re getting older. I want to be close to our kids and the more you have, the harder it gets. I frankly am done with the baby years. I love them but am looking forward to our kids being old enough to not have to monitor them 24/7. I’d also like to have some discretionary income after preschool is over. We both work so it’s already a lot in terms of time and money. [/quote]
