[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider three if I could afford them and hire someone else to take care of them.[/quote]

I have a friend like this. She is a lawyer who works long hours. She typically saw her kids maybe thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening. The nanny was responsible for bathing, feeding, dressing them. So my friend just had to play with them a little in the morning and evening. Then the nanny would also sometimes work part time on the weekends, too.
 Seemed like a sweet deal till covid hit. Then she and her husband (who travels a lot for work) had to take care of them all by themselves. Well, at first the nanny joined them in the country house. But then the nanny left (gee I wonder why?) and she and hubby had to take care of them, along with some grandparent help. OMG the whining. The horrors of having to actually care for your own children! I never got why she had THREE given how little time she and her husband have to care for them.[/quote]

I grew up with some families like this with 3 kids and by and large, 2 were duds and 1 was successful, but also really messed up? High achieving but weird relationship issues. [/quote]
