3.

I love having my three kids, you didn't mention energy. I admire anyone that can do more than that...but I like to be able to have the energy for the ones I already have.

I am very happy with my two. They are only 15 months apart and very close. I would hate to see that balance be disturbed.

I enjoy my five & have no issues with sharing them or us time/energy. I sometimes wish for that 6th but only IF we had someone to do all the cleaning (or deep cleaning for me! LOL so I can still be my anal ocd self ;\) ). But I am perfectly happy with my five.

Okay, I'll take a different spin on this. If time and money were no option I think 2 would be ideal. Then we could travel wayyy more often. Packing for 4 is a lot of stuff, and now requires jr. suites instead of just a hotel room...not as many options out there. My opinion will probably change as my kids get older and don't need our help as much. Then travelling with all 4 will be more relaxing and fun.

It's a good thing time has always been our issue (borderline workaholic dh...getting better over the years), otherwise I might have been tempted to stop at 2 and missed the joy our younger children bring to us.

If money was in abundance I'm not sure I would ever stop having kids. I love me three...whom are all under a year old. I'd never want to lose that. My gramma came from a family of 14...if I could afford it that would be me. But nowadays I definatly know I CAN NOT afford it.

well, I can only get so many c-sections. the money part means i can have a live in nanny to cook for me, right? I'd probably have 5 - one or two of those may be adopted.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.

What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

I would give birth to zero more. I enjoy my body belonging to me alone now.
I would adopt maybe two more and stay at home FOREVER!

I would have a HUGE van and a bigger trailer. We would have tonnes of vacation time and travel across Canada, then the US, then we'd rent the whole kit and caboodle to travel across Europe.

I am happy with the 2 that I have, I have 2 hands to hold them when we are out and 2 knees so when we are snuggling at home both can share me. And beleive me some of my favourite memories of my dk's are the times we just sit and snuggle watching tv \:\)

To be very honest, I would have stopped at two and shown them the world!!!!!!!!! (I didn't say which two...and I wouldn't be able to choose....and since I've already had 3, I love the third one so much I wouldn't change her for the world......BUT 3 is a bit much and 2 would have been perfect)........Besides, the third one wreaked total havoc on my body...two c-sections was quite enough!!!!!!
