[princesscupcakemummyb]

im trying to convince myself that 3 dc are enough i just had my 3rd 4 weeks ago my first boy i get broody on the year mark usually theirs 2 years between my 3 dc i am 26 my dh wants more and so do deep down lol but cant help but feel im silly for wanting more then 3 dc so really just for fun looking for pros and cons of having a 4th dc in the future or reasons to stick with 3 :)

Why do you feel silly for wanting 4?

hello weeblue i just fieel im a tad selfish for wanting another no 4 in the future feels mean on my other children silly i know but i do worry to much

ment feel at my spelling lol

As you have more kids you have to divide your time more. Each one gets less of you.

They might not get on and you'll have a house full of arguing and fighting.

Its very expensive. Not now but education/university/holidays will become a massive expense.

You'll need a supersize car forever.

There is a serious population crisis facing our planet.

Sorry, you did ask!

Well with three children you can for in a normal car, with a fourth you would have to buy a horrible ugly people carrier. That's a good enough reason to me. Who wants to have more children than you can fit in a normal car?!?!

And yes, there are already enough people on the world without adding to it.

I want 5 so I'm not the best person to ask! :o But yes, all the reasons above.

you can't fit 4 in a standard car
you can't ever get 'family' tickets for 4 children
you are almost sure to have at least 2 at different schools
people get them mixed up
you get them mixed up!
you need a humoungous house for them to have their own space
you need a humoungous washing machine
your house is full of shoes and coats and later aftershave / tampons
your shopping bill will be enormous
you'll feel guilty for not have enough individual time with them
I have 4 and have never regretted it for a moment

Babies/young children are inexpensive but as the get older the costs mount up. Even only 1 inexpensive and 1 more expensive hobby per week really stacks up and then there is the running around delivering and collecting them all.

Childcare costs for 4 in the school holidays too, it's horrific!

all valid good points but sadly still not convinced lol gosh your right about the childcare costs Random

awwh @ cheerful how many do you have so far ? :)

i dont drive but dh does and we did recently already have to get a bigger car as ours was small and wouldnt have fitted 3 children in the back

I'm currently pg with #7.

I can't tell you to stop, can I?

haha @ DoesZingBump wow number 7 thats amazing how many more di you want if u dont mind me asking?

possibly one more.

but I'll be 40 a month after this one is born and in the words of Mortaugh I'm getting "too old for this shit"

so we'll see.

awww @ DoesZing well enjoy your pregnancy hun quite excited for you although your making me broody again now even know my son is only 4 weeks old lol x
