[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of mommy wars stuff playing into this. Mothers of onlies often (not all!) WOH. Mothers of 3 or 4 often (not all!) don't. I personally know 2 women who had 3+ kids because it helped justify staying home, which was something they wanted to do regardless of how many kids they had. They don't have a lot of disposable income; I don't want to make those sacrifices.  Neither of us has it better or worse, just different.

Unless they complain. People who complain about how hard it is to have more kids vs one just get a "Yes, that's why I didn't" from me. [/quote]

Wait- they told you this? They chose to have more kids against their husbands consent? And you must know them well as this info is pretty intimate- why are you attracted to such sneaky women?[/quote]

Why on earth would you think the fathers didn't consent? I didn't suggest that.

People can have different reasons for agreeing on the same course, or the same reasons in different priority order. Lots of men like their kids. Lots of men feel it makes them look good (manly provider) to have a SAH wife and many kids. If a man said either of these were his reasons for having a large family, would you assume the mother didn't consent? [/quote]
