Do you have children?[/quote]

DP but I have kids and absolutely agree with the PP. I derive great joy from my children but am always keenly aware that providing me joy is not their sole, or even main, purpose in life. No matter how many kids you have, you have to remember that they are independent people with their own needs, dreams, desires, etc. [/quote]

I just find it laughable that you think anyone would have three or more children solely because of the "joy" they provide. The entire premise of this thread is how much work three is. [/quote]

Lots of people have kids thinking mostly about what they will get out of it. I'd say it is a majority who think critically about how their child will become a person with separate needs and desires before getting pregnant. Most people do figure this out eventually, but we're talking about the decision to have kids, not the experience of having them. [/quote]
