[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I really appreciate this thread/your original post because when people ask how many kids I want I always “like five but that’s ridiculous” but it’s also …kind of true?  I absolutely adore kids and always was kind of sad my parents stopped with me.  I just had my second and I’ll probably not have more biological kids for various reasons but if I ever have the space/freedom with respect to job stuff I probably will get certified to foster parent.  But like you, this is something I’ll revisit again in a year or so.

(The struggle to get back to pre pregnancy weight is real.  Good luck to both of us.  🤪)[/quote]

Thank you! It is an odd reception around here when one mentions having any more than 2 kids... DH is from a traditional society and I'm from the Midwest where having multiple kids is pretty common...

If you're in a happy marriage, know how to manage your finances/resources and are really dedicated to taking care of you're family, why not?!

You definitely have to have a committed, equal partner. I couldn't imagine this parenting journey with anyone else. DH is the kind of person who will work 8 hours and then take the two older kids for an adventure in the woods for 2 hours for fun and exercise. And wake up early to do the dishes and start work early so he can split work hours with me. To me, having a good partnership is much more important than money. Like, a husband who pulls his own weight in childcare, household duties, and work, and manages to stay fit by running once or twice a week... Is worth way more than a million bucks, or owning your own home :)[/quote]
