[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pregnant with my 3rd (and last). The reason I wanted 3 is because DH is an only child, and my one sibling, a decade younger than me, may never have kids (still lives with my parents, has trouble keeping a job, never had a significant other etc).  Both DH and I thought that being an only was a lonely way to grow up, except for holidays, when we'd get to meet up with all our cousins, and get to experience the fun of having a big family. My children will probably never have cousins or a big extended family, so we are creating one ourselves.

The people who keep saying that a 3rd child is a "status symbol" are nuts. If anything I get weird looks when I'm out with my 2 while I am so visibly pregnant. People at work were shocked when they found out I was having a 3rd. Literally NO ONE has said: 3?! you must be rich! (we are not).[/quote]

+100. I had 3 kids for the same reason as you, and several family members/friends were shocked and kept asking if 3rd baby was an accident. They couldn’t imagine why we’d have another though it totally makes sense to us.[/quote]
