[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's immature but do you ever have get those fleeting thoughts, like if I could just have this one thing I would be happy. That's how I feel about this. I know that 5 kids is completely out of the question but four we could do.[/quote]

It's not just "immature," it's engaging in a kind of thinking that is designed to avoid dealing with the real issue.  The real issue is why aren't you happy now?  Do you really believe any one thing will "make you happy"?

And when you say, "4 we could do," what's the definition of that.  Personally, if I were wealthy enough to have 4 kids and be able to fully pay for all clothing, activities, needs and wants and fully fund college, then I might choose to only have 3 because bad stuff happens in life and what would enable me to "do" four children, gives me a buffer with the three I already have.  For example, one of my children unexpectedly fell ill and required a lot of money and time to take care of over a long period.  When you say you "could do" four children, can you really take on anything that comes with that?  What if the 4th is special needs?  What if your husband falls ill?  What if one of your kids has some kind of problem?
