[quote=Anonymous]All I know is that I have friends and family members who seemed to be doing okay and then they had "one more" and everyone seemed much less happy after that. The problem is that the procreative urge doesn't really care if you are happy or not, if your marriage is good, if college is affordable, if your house is big enough. You have to be able to make family planning choices separate from that feeling of "oh wouldn't it be so nice to have another little baby in the house?" Eventually the baby will be a 10 year old who needs braces and is struggling at math. Make family planning choices based on the 10 year old, not the baby.[/quote]
