How did you decide what was the right # of children to have in your family?
We have 2 and I don't know whether to have a 3rd. I am really undecided. On one hand I think that the more sibling the better as if the 2 don't get along as adults, then it is easy to not keep up a relationship (as has happened with my husband and his brother), whereas they more siblings you have the less liekly the family is split up as there will always be one you get along with.On the other hand I worry about how I can realistically manage more than 2 children, esp. when the are older I need to drive them around all the time, more outside actiivtes, I already have trouble with that and they are only 1 and 3, but I have no baby sitter, and no family so it is hard to juggle everything by myself. I grew up in a family with 4 children and my husband 2. He sees most of his old Hong Kong friends only having one child. He wants 2 but I don't know!
