[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, I wanted to have 3 kids or more so that I could have a home bursting with love and lots of personalities and fun.  I couldn’t afford to do more than 3 kids and live in this area, and I felt really overwhelmed after having my third because he had a lot of sleep issues and other health issues.  If money were no object and I could have quit my career, then I would have definitely gone for 4.  It’s hard work raising kids but they are not “status symbols” to me - they are a gift and what gives my life purpose.  We do public schools and my kids aren’t the best dressed and, because I work, they have less parental attention than they otherwise would.  But they have each other and I don’t have any regrets.

This and 10:14 above were such beautiful posts. I'm probably PMSing but you almost brought tears to my eyes. We only have two, started late and have had some health scares so we are stopping here. I am counting my blessings because both kids seem so good natured so far, but I would have loved a life with a few more kids too. [/quote]
