[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 elementary-aged kids. I would love a 3rd, in fact I'm longing for one pretty much every day now that I am in my 40s and the window is closing, however my husband doesn't want one. He is an incredible husband and father, very involved with the kids since birth (would get up in the middle of the night a lot), and he is the breadwinner of the family, so I have to respect his wishes and not push him to do something just for me. Money is not an issue, we could hire help, fund 3 college educations and retire comfortably. The 2 kids we've got are amazing individuals but also the best of siblings to each other, and they keep asking for another sibling, so I know they would be great with a baby. They were easy kids from the get go, so that is exacerbating my broody feelings: I just can't imagine not having one more of those, but of course there are no guarantees, and I think sometimes it's better to enjoy what you have and not get greedy and push your luck.

Similar situation here. I’ve always, since childhood, wanted at least 3 kids. We could afford the 3rd. But it takes two to agree to have a kid. It’d be nice if I could just get over it, but real life is rarely that simple. :-/[/quote]
