[b]The thing is that for the most part a new kid isn't going to break your life. May break your marriage, but then you will say afterwards, I am so glad for this kid despite the hardship. Because who wouldn't love a kid they have? But this does not mean that it's good for you, your marriage, your family to have 4 kids... 5 kids... 6 plus. Only you can decide where your threshold is.[/b]

I have 4 kids and I can tell you it's a hell of a lot harder than 3. Perhaps this is spacing. Or personalities. No special needs. If we had this we would be crushed. [/quote]

12:53 here. OP, I completely agree with the bolded of what PP said. I don't know who would regret/not love a kid they chose to have. I wish I wasn't in the financial situation I was in. We would have kept our third. You need a fine balance between logistics and what you feel in your heart. But in my situation, when you already have a 1.5 year old and your parents are already paying half of HIS daycare, and you're already living paycheck to paycheck with ZERO savings, how can you realistically bring another child into the situation? That was my situation. OP, yours may be completely different.[/quote]
