[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 3 is pretty typical/normal anywhere. I am surprised by the families here that have 4+ kids as a middle class family. [/quote] I live in a very wealthy suburb of NYC and three is very common but four is not that common. I personally am acquainted with three families who have four kids. Two of them are at our private (one mom is the head of the PTA) and one lives across the street from us. Spacing is pretty tight between kids. I have three with a 28 month gap between my eldest and middle child (it would have been a 24 month gap but I miscarried) and a 21 month gap between my middle and youngest child. They are all the same gender and they really look out for each other, especially the middle one. She is always looking out for her older and younger sisters not because she has a caretaker type of personality - she's so confident and spunky that I wouldn't necessarily categorize her as a caretaker - she's just very strategic and a doer.
