[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is something you can really engineer in terms of siblings getting along, etc.  They don't necessarily pair up.  It has more to do with personality and other factors.

If you feel like you can afford it, fine with pushing back the time until you empty the nest and OK with the environmental impact of another kid, then go for it.  But don't do it just so the 3rd kid with have a buddy.

Oh and what I was reminded when I had my fourth, people will stop inviting your family on vacations - too many bodies.[/quote]

I stopped inviting our friends over for barbecues after they had their third. We'll go over there but I can't deal with them at our place. It's so loud, and the kids just kind of band together and take over everything. Their oldest is an intolerable know-it-all who will try to tell me how to parent my own kids, and their youngest is basically feral. And I will never, ever go out to dinner with their whole family again. I'd rather get a root canal. [/quote]
