[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed in my UMC area that having 4+ kids is the new status symbol, it’s mostly the wealthier families that do it and do t have to give a second though to providing college or paying for several kids at once in pricey camps or private school! [/quote]

There was a thread EXACTLY like this a few years ago - I remember because people said it was true for DC parents and NY parents and was just after the Krim (sp?) children murder around Halloween.

In any event, I am not saying this as a forum policy to tell you to do a search or some crappy like that, but I just wanted to point it out this is not a new thing... this train of thought you are having I mean. If it is true or not, I have not idea.

I can say that if I had enough money to have the life I desire in terms of travels, living in a good house/neighborhood, paying for college and paying for help (cleaning and nanny), I would maybe consider having 4 children. I like children, but I am maxed out (financially and emotionally) at 2. No way in hell I would have any more children if I could not have hired help to do the grind work - packing lunch, laundry, driving kids to activities, helping with homework (now even worse), etc. Plus, I would still want to be able to travel and live in a nice neighborhood. I wouldn't be willing to "make sacrifices" just to have another 1 or 2 children - I love them but not that much.[/quote]
