[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 36 nearly 37 and need to decide asap if I want a third. I am easily talked into it, and easily talked out of it. [b]I feel now in our circles people have 3 to prove something (wealth mainly) which annoys me.[/b] I can monetarily afford it, and I had 2 easy and healthy pregnancies. I am just wondering if I would regret it if I didn't. (For what it's worth I have 2 girls, 3&1)[/quote]

What actions do people take where people walk away with this impression? Like sure wealthy people might have three children, but people say things like this and I'm like what do they roll up to pick up with a cigar hanging out of their mouth and reminisce at the bus stop in an astin martin and go on about how Wallace Tripoly IInd only came into existence so they could rub their wealth in people's faces? This is an absurd takeaway and really would love an actual example of something someone does that conveys this message rather than wealthy people simply living in a way that clearly implies they are wealthy and other people being jealous.

I am not particularly wealthy BTW but do have three kids![/quote]

I agree with this 100%. We have 3 because I wanted 3 and was not done after 2. Same for my husband. We spend all our money on private schools, but drive a super old and beat up minivan. I doubt people think we are rich. Our house cleaner has a much nicer car than we do (perhaps she is richer…)[/quote]
