[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who in the right mind has 3 kids in the city?! I grew up in Paris and people have one, max 2. WIth 3, you move outside the city and commute. [/quote]

So true, and in France they bribe people to have more than two kids and still most people won't do it if they are in the city. It is not just expense, it's also logistics and space and noise and just not wanting to have this complicated, excessive lifestyle. Three makes travel more difficult, eating out. It is just a hassle. I am confused as to what compels a family where both parents work, living in an apartment in the city, to have a third child. I understand it is different if one of you is staying home, if you live in the country, if you are very wealthy and have homes both places and staff or send the kids off to be partially raised by grandparents in the summer or whatever. But just an average family with jobs in the city? Who would look around and think, "yes, this, but with THREE children, that will be ideal." It will obviously be a mess. Why,

It just makes you seem like you don't understand where children come from or are an impractical or impulsive person who does not think things through. I don't understand.[/quote]
