[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we have 4 kids (between 12-17) and all of them say that they want at least 3 kids. We also have a big dog and other pets. They see the advantages, and also are used to the 'circus' the PP mentioned. Maybe they haven't experienced the disadvantages some other posters noted? They haven't been  forced into babysitting bc we had them so close together that that oldest one was not ever really mature enough to watch all of the others.  At this point they all watch themselves if we go out.  We also are in that "not rich, not poor" income bracket so the kids haven't seen an impact in our lifestyle as our family grew...we never were going to be the kind of family who went to Europe over spring break :)  I (the mom) am the one who is not from a big family and it definitely took some getting used to, but now I love it.[/quote]

Yeah when I was 12-17 I wanted  at least 3 kids too, and then I went to college grew up, formed ideas that weren't my parents.[/quote]
