[quote=Anonymous]Before having kids I wanted a larger family, maybe 3-5 kids. Then I had kids and realized the impacts on your life. We decided to stop at 2 because we had a boy and girl, but would have gone for the try on #3 if it had been boy-boy or girl-girl. One of the things we didn't consider beforehand was the logistical challenges of things like concurrent extracurriculars, and that many things (like amusement park rides) tend to cater to groups of 4, etc. You can find workarounds for all these things obviously, but it just seems "easier" with 4, and also allows us more opportunities for 1:1 time with each kid than 3+ would. I can honestly say about the last thing that factored into our decision (or that we perceive about others) is any sort of "status" associated with # of kids. Most 2 kid families we know could afford a 3rd kid if they wanted one, we just see it as personal preference, honestly never cross our minds to think of it as any sort of a status indicator.[/quote]
