[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people would really want a big family. In an ideal world, their younger self would have wanted more than 3. If they hadn't gotten a late start. It's just they end at 3 since it turns out 3 seems like as much as they can do.[/quote]

This was the opposite for me. I really wanted a big family when I was younger. I had my 2nd at 32. We talked a lot about whether to make the leap and it was really back and forth because of the added complications, life is really kind of built for a family of four! I had my 3rd at 34 and we knew 110% we were totally done.

I think also people who might be less financially stable but who have 3 are in different circles? I have three and it was not because we are rolling in dough but as a result I'm really busy! No one knows me! We also moved to a lower cost of living area. And we stopped contributing to our retirement during daycare years, from which we are just emerging and have gradually tried to scale back up. But there are some of us out there, you probably just don't know us, because we're busy keeping the ship afloat![/quote]
