[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about this viewpoint for families you meet with 4 and with 5. Pregnant with number 4 now fwiw. I’ve heard this many times over the years. Is four just more common? I haven’t looked at the numbers. [/quote] Family with more than 1-2 kids is considered a large family in educated circles. [/quote] Highly educated women are the demographic where 3 kid families are on the rise, countering downward trends elsewhere.[/quote] I’m highly educated, so is DH, and we have 4 kids. But most of our peers have 2 kids, with a few who have 3. I think 4 kids is a big family (I feel it a lot when we go on vacation), but we all got easily into a minivan and can squeeze into most SUVs. I feel like if we had 5 kids the logistics would get trickier with cars, restaurants, and even our house. And I know a few families with 4 kids but not any with 5, so for that reason I would consider 5+ to be an unusually large family. [/quote]
