[quote=Anonymous]I felt our family was complete when we had our 4th. I had to nudge DH several times to agree to number 4. We had initially only really thought we were going to have 3. It’s not a biological urge that overwhelms us to have lots of babies - I held off having any until my 30s, and I also hated being pregnant and loved my babies but am not a baby person in general. My youngest is now 4 and we are very happy to be done with babies/toddlers and enjoy them growing up. Finally, having a child is never a good financial decision - kids cost money, they don’t make you any money, so it’s never good for your pocketbook to have a child. You have them because your heart wants them more than it wants the other things you could be doing with your money. We are well off, but if we didn’t have kids, or only had one or two, we would probably be retiring in our early 50s. Instead we will work into our mid to late 60s. Totally worth it to us.[/quote]
