[quote=Anonymous]Having another baby because you like the baby stage isn’t a good enough reason. They turn into toddlers who turn into preschoolers who turn into small kids to tweens to teens to young adults, adults and beyond. You are deciding on creating an entire new life that you won’t be in charge of from whenever they launch until the end of their life. I have two in HS. One about to leave for college. The teen years haven’t been as bad for me, knock on wood, but my friends around me have kids who have been in rehab, who have attempted suicide, who have serious eating disorders. I have friends whose older kids are full on failure to launch. Consider college costs when you’re calculating that baby, it’s astronomical right now and no guarantees of getting into the state flagships even if you’re a smart kid. So keep perspective—look at the long game. [/quote]
