Yes. For any activity, there is never any true conflict because one parent can go with one child. DH and I have busy careers and 2 has worked on many levels - the scheduling, the patience and time needed to deal with each kid’s problems, the amount of attention available to each kid, the college savings needed.

I had also wanted a third but if I honestly think about it, it was the image of a movie Thanksgiving and Christmas, with all the adult kids around the table. Those are two days of the year, and no guarantee that we would have even that.

I’m a better mom with two. No one feels neglected, and we have had some great times together. (Not that kids in large families are neglected. I deal with a lot of anxiety and I would not be a good mom spread across three. Two was right for us.)[/quote]
