[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are planning a family but we want to keep working. There seems to be a point at which despite high incomes ( we are a doctor/lawyer couple) it becomes too hard to sustain. What’s the magic number? [/quote] Why do you have to decide in advance how many kids you are going to have? Just have one kid and see what you and your spouse's bandwidth is. Then you can go from there.[/quote] This. You just won’t know until you have them. DH and I wanted three. I planned to be a working mom and ended up staying home. My first was born premature and has some special needs. She has a challenging personality and multiple weekly therapies. My second is very intense and despite sleep training (many many times, CIO not Ferber) did not sleep through the night reliably until age two. DH and I don’t like chaos. Our plates are full. We are not adding a third.[/quote]
