[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why dual-working couples choose to have three kids. If you love kids *that much* that you go above and beyond the norm, why don’t you also want to spend most of your time with them? The wealthy three kid families I know are overscheduled and depend on “the nanny” for everything.[/quote] Uh, maybe some of us work to afford the three kids. It’s great if one spouse is a big law partner and the other spouse can have a flexible career or stay home, but most of us are two earner families saving for retirement, college, paying for camp, childcare, preschools, private schools/living in a decent school district, extracurriculars, and the rising cost of everything - even regular haircuts for a family of five is expensive. [/quote] Then… don’t stretch yourself by having three brats when you can only afford two[/quote]
