[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has 3 kids, I think key is that you need to tolerate a lot of chaos. Some days I think I am going crazy from all the noise, fighting, roughhousing and screaming. I try to channel my inner Michelle Duggar and just be chill AF, but I'm really not a chill person. I'm type A and love well behaved children. But I don't want my kids in therapy crying nonstop about how mom always told them to be quiet or yelled at them for being kids. So my advice is not to have 3+ kids unless you're laid back or have a lot of prozac. I don't think money is #1. I think it's having a fun, supportive, caring husband and you yourself be all about fun, holidays, memories, traditions too. Dh and I are UMC and doing just fine, no need to make millions. I'm an only child too and my kids will never have any cousins. It makes me sad because dh and I have 20 some cousins each and my kids won't get even 1. We do keep both sets of grandparents close to us. [/quote]
