[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are European "intellectuals" if you will. In their circles, it was definitely a fashionable thing not to have kids and if you did, to stop at one. I wonder how many people deeply regret their choices in life that they made to achieve some kind of made up "status." [/quote] Northern European professionals REALLY look down on anyone with more than 2 kids, sometimes even one. DH works for a Northern European company and most of the execs I've met have one kid. It's part of why they can afford such good maternity/paternity benefits for white-collar workers--social shaming if you have too many kids.[/quote]
