[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s SO much better to want one more than one fewer.  You have some bandwidth now - great!!  Do something else with it - go for a promotion at work, volunteer, adopt a dog, something.   [/quote]

Amen. I think when you already have three and a bigger gap, you have to think of the impact it will have on the kids who are already here. [/quote]

Yall. I have so many siblings and they are the BEST thing, even though it meant less $$ to go around. Siblings are a support network for life. It is soooo much more important to have them than to have better clothes and a Disney trip. Think about old age for your kids, not just the size of the pile of Christmas presents they’ll get over the next few years.[/quote]

Then you’re an outliner. I don’t know [b]any [/b]adults who are close to their siblings. People get busy with their own lives and their own kids.[/quote]

Really?  I find that difficult to believe.  Everyone has their perspective, but you don’t need to exaggerate to make your point.

I’m also not sure that people being busy with the own lives and their own kids precludes a feeling of closeness with siblings, particularly over a lifetime.[/quote]
