[quote=Anonymous]I have two and a lot of help. I imagine having three, but if I think about having one more around wanting my attention all the time I'm not sure it would be good for the kids. Two are attention hungry as it is. Maybe this changes as they get older and the need to be the center of the world wanes, in which case perhaps then another. But I have seen three by the collapse of a lot of good marriages/families. I think really being there for your kids, instilling character, creating that relationship that helps them navigate themselves and life is a big investment -- not of money but of time. And even if you have all the time in the world due to not working and having a lot of help, the mental load of another person with all their individual needs and struggles is a lot. Isn't it true that most families with over two treat their kids more as a group than individuals?[/quote]
