Youve GOT to consider your financial stiuation in this dilema...and for me, thats what determines when to stop having children...coz my sanity is ok, my body can handle it...but its the financial strain that holds a big stop sign in front of my face that says no more children.
I would have 6.... but my DH has said no more - and i know its due to the finacnial strain HE feels....He works 2 jobs, long hours....time with the kids is precious. He doesnt want to be working full on till he is 65, and why should he.
So in answer to your question - going from 2 -3 doesnt cost money initially. But having 3 children does get more and more expensive as they grow older. Ive got my first in school this year, and you can just see the cost of my first baby rising....so maybe think past the babies first year of life...and picture 3 teenagers, or picture holiday with your older children. Doable? Affordable?
Agree with Tanya.....4 in high school one day....eek !!!!
