[quote=Anonymous]I am one of three. DH is one of four. We have three kids and wanted four.

We wanted a larger family for our children not just for childhood but to provide support for them during their adult years. My siblings, and DH's, have been so important to us during our young adult and adult lives that I cannot imagine my children not having the same built in support. We've gone through family issues , health scares, loss, moving across the globe, etc. together. Yes, I have incredibly close friends but siblings are just different. I am very different from my siblings and we don't see eye to eye on everything but we work through our differences. WE also have each other's back 100% of the time.

So many people these days focus on the toddler or baby years when deciding how many kids they want. I think that's important but don't forget to see the long road. What do you want your kids to have in their adult lives. How do you want your lives to look 10, 20, 40 years from now? Plan for that - whatever you think that should look like. [/quote]
