[quote=Anonymous]My advice is always- if you’re on the fence then you actually want another one and should go ahead sooner rather than later. You’ll know when you’re done-zo. It will be very clear emotionally. Another thing is that only outsiders seem to say - oh, that family shouldn’t have had one more, or were happier with only 2 or 3. Ask the person who had the kids and they’ll always say they were glad of it. We have four, no local support and just barely enough income (for around here, that is!!) and it’s been great. 1 and 3 are so alike as are 2 and 4. But then sometimes they buddy up along gender lines instead. Love the teen hangout years now- they are awesome together and it gives me a good feeling to know they’ll have each other after we’re gone.

When I wasn’t sure about going to four, but someone gave me that advice (you’ll know when you’re done) I just went off BC and I got pregnant almost immediately. I liked the idea that it was meant to happen in that case…. Then after 4, we immediately took more permanent measures because we knew. [/quote]
