[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider you don’t Ctyally want a third kid but are simply mourning your youth as you get older and the days when you were younger and still creating a family/having babies. Those are two separate things and I think a lot of 3rd kids come when people don’t do the work of properly identify which they are feeling. The second one is something you will eventually go through no matter how many kids you have, so if you can accept that might be what it really is, you can avoid this “never really wanted 3rd, convinced reluctant husband to do it, oh sh*t now I have a 9 and 5 year old and a baby and I’m old and tired and everyone’s stressed and life isn’t fun anymore and I love the 3rd I swear but this kind of sucks” phase. Also, if you stay home and your kids are in school all day, consider this might be boredom talking. [/quote]

Not the OP here... I get why people say this,  but some of us have ALWAYS wanted a “big” family. I’ve wanted at least 3 (preferably 4-5) kids ever since I was a kid myself. I’ve never wavered from feeling this way. I didn’t suddenly  want a third when number 2 started getting older. It’s also why I don’t know how to get over the desire. It’s not situation-based.

But this isn’t about you. This is about OP who said 3 has NEVER been a consideration for them. [/quote]
