[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe me, most people have third one because it's what everyone else is having one or to save their deteriorating marriage, not because they are craving more diapers changes or sleepless nights.[/quote]

Not what I've seen in real life. The people with bad marriages had #2 to save it, they weren't dumb enough to have 3.

We had a 3rd because we loved babies, had enough resources to make it feasible, easy pregnancies, dh was an excellent father. But mostly we wanted that "big family feel". We knew we'd never be able to have 5 or so, but 3 was doable. And yes- with 3 we definitely have that big family feel. Holidays are super fun. My kids won't ever have any cousins or aunts/uncles, but they do have each other for fun while growing up.[/quote]

Agree, having a third to make a point makes no sense.  I’m a mom of 3 myself.  I think you’re right that #2 is often “expected” as that is the “correct” number of kids, so sometimes people have a second without truly wanting one maybe?  But honestly all the people I know like all of their kids.[/quote]
