A few things Dh brought up in our discussion about why he doesnt want four kids. So I thought Id ask the experts what they think in regards to his issues

First thing: extracurricular activities. He is worried that we would be broke from having them all play something (and with what could prob be four boys theyd most likely all play football) and that most of our spare time outside of work hours would be spent ferrying them here there and everywhere. Thoughts?

I said that people spend weekends doing various sports with only 2 or 3 kids too, I figured we could just try and work it so they all go on the same day or at same time like we do with swimming lessons; and that if all four played the same sport we'd prob get some kind of discount or be able to reuse uniforms/boots etc like we do with swimming lessons. Not a big deal to me.

His second thing: financial costs for feeding six people, and possibly four boys. With what I cook now, I definately have enough left over for an extra meal that usually gets eaten as lunch the following day or frozen for later. Thoughts?

I think its about smart shopping which I already do; I also make alot of my own snacks. No big deal to me.

I just dont think one extra kid at this stage will impact all that greatly on our lifestyle. Three is already hectic, I am sure another child thrown in; while adding a bit extra busy-ness, will not make or break us. If its another boy even better, he will have untold amounts of perfectly usable clothing from his older brothers. We would just have to be savvy in optimising group discounts and the like...........

Anyway give me your expert opinions!! Be brutally honest.
