[quote=Anonymous]I can see how having 4+ is easier, I really can.  You would indeed have more help because there's more members of the family.  Also, as they get older, probably a lot of fun having a large family.

However - I think it would kill me and I only have 2!

If you have any kid who has a disability of any sort learning or physical, that has got to suck.  If you have limited income, that's gotta suck.  I mean I would imagine, your threshold for luxury goes down and you can probably camp to vacation every vacation?  LOL  I would imagine that you are REALLY REALLY easygoing and chill because I think I would lose my mind otherwise.  There's no other choice but to destress.

However, with my personality, 3 would kill me.  While my other kid is away this week on a school trip, having one is like a vacation - I am having a really great week as I have DH to help me shuttle my other kid to activities and it's just one less to manage and my kids are on the MS aged.  One dinner to deal with, one kid to worry about, etc.  Let me tell you - it's awesome!    I love both my kids but seriously, anymore than 2 is a mountain of work.  I cannot imagine getting to 4+!  The pregnancies alone would kill me literally!!
