DP but not sure why that's eyeroll worthy.  OP asked why people stopped or went for a fourth.  Plenty of people stop at 3 (or 2, or 1) because it's enough.  And I'll throw in what nobody has said yet - every time you get pregnant it's a roll of the dice.  If you've had healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries, and healthy kids until now, that's wonderful.  It's also no guarantee that will continue.

There's plenty to be said for counting your blessings.[/quote]

It's eyeroll worthy because it is inappropriate to tell another adult what s/he does or does not need.  The OP wanted to hear about other's decision making process regarding a 4th child, not to have some ass swing by with a dismissive comment.

I have four--#4 was an unexpected bonus.  They are the light of my life and close with all of their sibilings.  Surprisingly the day to day of going from three to four isnt that much different.  Four teenagers is a challenge but really by the time #4 started with the antics, I was much more chill having seen it all before.[/quote]
