[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my perspective I think its the opposite -- when I was a kid there seemed to be many family's with more than two children, and there are far less of them now.  My husband and I are both one of three, so to us that seems to be the ideal number of children.  I would love to have three but for financial reasons I seriously doubt it will happen.  I think part of me will always feel incomplete without having a third though.  [/quote]

+1.  We had 2 kids in my family growing up, and I knew (and envied!) plenty of families with 3-4 kids.  My husband had 3 in his family and they remain very close and have a great time together as adults.  3 kids keeps it much busier and more fun, IMO.  I get it that it's more expensive now, and especially in this area.  We had 3 before moving here.  I'm thrilled for my kids to have each other growing up.  Cost notwithstanding, it's still an extremely fulfilling, warm and fun family life.  Of course I know plenty of people with 2 kids and I can see how that's quite "rational", but it sure as heck isn't "irrational" for a family to decide on 1, 3, or more.  You profess to be non judgmental, OP, but your words and thoughts are extremely judge-y.[/quote]
