[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids are good enough, extras are unnecessary strain on your physical, mental, marital, financial and professional health.[/quote] I agree with this for myself; I think some families do in fact have extra capacity and ability to parent more than 2, but I personally do not and I think that's pretty typical for a MC/UMC family in the US in 2023. I also grew up in a large family where my parents definitely did not have the capacity for it and the negatives in that situation are very big. So I just wouldn't be cavalier about having 3 or more kids, like "oh no big deal, through it on the pile" because having been on the inside of that in a family that wasn't built for it, "just one more" is not a small deal. And I say that as one of the kids who was "just one more" not as a beleaguered older child -- my older siblings loved having a big family, the younger kids not so much.[/quote]
