[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who wanted JUSt one more to feel complete, so they had a third. And then when that child was getting more independent my friend felt the need for another. To her credit, she admitted that she loved being a mother, and if she couldn't imagine not have a young child to care for. They had a fourth. And basically, she would have continued if she could have. She simply wanted to stay being a mother of young kids. Now she lives waiting to be a grandmother one day.

Her whole life has been about being a mother. Ultimately, it wasn't so much about the kids, it was about being a mother as a career, if that makes sense. The good news for her was that her husband was on board and they could afford plenty of kids.

I have another friend who insisted she have another child after they had everything finally going so well. Husband wasn't on board, didn't want another, and friend "accidentally" got pregnant Husband always resented it, and it came across the the child. I will say in this case they weren't as comfortable financially.

FWIW, the husband who was fine with it was super laid back. The unhappy husband was super intense.  [/quote]
