[quote=Anonymous]I am 38 pregnant with #3, have 5 embryos in a freezer, am having to decide between a repeat C or trying to vbac and I still am thinking about a 4th (which could be my 3rd c section). We don't own now but are close to starting to look.

I don't consider having a large family a ding on the environment if you raise them with environmental values. They can be a net positive if they convert whoever they partner with. We managed to shove 3 carseats into our hatchback. If you feel guilty about the environment change your lifestyle.

Kids can go to college on scholarships. Too many kids are going to college anyway and graduating to work at starbucks. If my kids don't have amazing grades and collect a bunch of student aid I'm going to steer them into entrepreneurship or trade school. In my view, if they can only get their degree with high 5 figures in debt that is the universe (and the system) telling them they're not meant to be there. They can get AP college credits and go to state school. This coming generation is going to be slimmer and schools will start to be forced to compete for students.

I came from a "poor" family with 6 kids and I resent my parents more for the lack of help (e.g. getting driver's license on time) than the lack of fancy vacations. Ask any kid with a rich distant parent. Time/attention is more important than money. As long as you can afford the basics (e.g. braces) money is not important.
