[quote=Anonymous]Lots of families with three or more kids in Olney. Honestly, I bet most families in the outer burbs have t least three. To clarify: obviously younger parents with very little ones (four or under) probably haven't had their third or fourth yet.

I merely pointed out how common it is as anecdotal info. We obviously didn't decide to have more kids to keep up with the joneses (duh). Plus, if you read my entire post, I believe I pointed out the fact that we had a couple surprises.

I honestly cannot think of one family in our hood or school that has less than three kids (again, I'm nit counting younger families whose oldest is in K...because chances are they will have a third kid in the next couple years).

I know this is tough for people living in apartments or small houses in DC or the close-in burbs to comprehend, but I assure you that the majority of families (let's say those with moms pushing 40 or in their mid 40s) living out in the burbs have more than 2. Who needs a five bedroom colonial if you only have two kids, right?

If you still don't believe me, then simply drive by obgc on a Saturday and watch the families climb out of their suburbans. [/quote]
