[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting/somewhat obnoxious take from the OP.

It assumes that there is a linear relationship to number of kids and "difficulty" of parenting. Totally false statement, by the way.

Somethings are easier and some things are harder. Some things are *exponentially* easier and harder. What would my life be like now if I had more kids? Fewer kids? I have no idea, and neither do you, OP. That was the road we didn't take.

Mmmmm. OP here.

3 is more work. Or, you at least have to go in with the idea that 3 is PROBABLY more work. And more money. And more stress.

I just am always surprised that people are surprised when they take on responsibility and then can't believe it's WORK. And it's hard. And it may not be very fun (although it might be).

I feel the same way about women who come on here and post: "OMG! I'm 45 and pregnant!" and then they post how they weren't using birth control because the thought it would NEVER happen to them.

Everyone would be better off, kids included, if their families did their homework before starting a family.

Also: My kids are grown. So this particular question is behind me now. [/quote]
