[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to those of you for all the thoughtful (and not so nice) responses! I know a lot of people think it's gross/irresponsible to have more than 2 kids, so I was expecting that.

In response to some of the questions: my husband is fully supportive of whatever I want. He definitely would love another child, but would never push me into it.

I have a big job. My husband has settled into more of a SAHD, although he also has a full time job.  He has a lot of flexibility which has worked well for us. That said, I have always been able to build in time for family stuff, even with a pretty intense job.

We have enough money to support another baby and all it entails; we've already invested in some of the things we'd need - like a big car, a big house, etc.

I am not a huge baby person! My favorite ages are really the 3-5 range, though I have enjoyed almost every phase of my children's lives.

In addition to being old, and worrying about problems the baby might have as a result of my age (a poster above mentioned that, and I think it's the thing that has held me back most), I also worry about having sufficient 1-1 time with my kids. I think we've always done a pretty good job of managing that, but it's an important thing for me.

The funny thing is that my kids are the ones constantly mentioning their hope for another baby in the family! And life is definitely getting a lot easier as the kids get older.  [/quote]

People with “big jobs” as you say you have don’t get on and drum and write this crap. [/quote]

NP. Yes we do. DCUM is often my mental break in a workday. [/quote]
