Why is it shocking to want 3 children???

[Toothache]

...or more for that matter?

3 of my best friends don't have children (although want them..... partners not ready yet!). I have 2 and recently they have all asked me seperately if I would have anymore. I have said of course! They are SOOOOOOOOOO shocked by this and say things like "OMG are you mad??" or "You are a baby making machine aren't you?".... or "When are you going to stop??"

It actually upsets me. Even my friends that have children (1 or 2) seem really shocked by my wanting a 3rd....and perhaps a 4th child!

It makes me feel like I'm going OTT or that I'm doing something wrong!

I'm 27 FFS, I cannot possibly know how I will feel down the line. At the moment I want a 3rd. That might be it, that might be me settled, but then again it might not! Why do people make you feel like a freak if you want to have more than 2 children? Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm one of 4 and DH is one of 3. It isn't that unusual is it????????

Oooh and the snail trail!!!! Eeeew TMI

did i say I have 5?

yes...I neglect them terribly!!!!

for my generation (late 60's) I think 3 was the norm, wasn't it?

I am one of 3 and was born in the 60's!!
We werent unusually no!

I want a third I know my mam will be "why you have one of each...blah, blah , blah.."
I wanted to start trying now but as I was pg within 6 weeks with the other two, I have decided to wait, other wise newbabs and DS could end up with bdays very close, and also don't fancy being heavily pg in the summer over here, so we are going to start trying next march, april time....

why do people assume you want one of each and not just another child!
I re married and became pregnant and everyone said how lovely it was for my hubby..........why wasnt it lovely for me? Oh of course i already have children and so any others wouldnt be special........silly me!!!
