[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes it’s about wanting more out of life than just kids. I want to be able to exercise and take care of myself, have date nights with my husband, meet up with friends etc. so yes having more kids world make that harder and trying to do all of that with the two I have can often feel overwhelming. We think about 3 but that would require us to reframe what we want out of life and as a couple. [/quote]

It’s this for me. I’m miserable when my life is centered around kids. I need daily exercise, hobbies, sex, work, friends, etc to be happy.

I could get that pretty easily with one kid, with two it’s been much harder. That being said, being married made it extremely difficult (xH was a man child), and I have so much more free time now that I’m divorced.

I also once heard a mom of grown kids say she regrets spending so much time doing “kid” stuff and wished she had just taken her kids with her to do what she wanted. So I try to do more of that, rather than having our lives revolve around kid activities.[/quote]

That is a very selfish mom.  [/quote]

NP. I don't agree. Obviously there's a happy medium, but i think kids are better adjusted and less anxious when the world doesn't revolve around them. [/quote]
