Two is perfect for us.
I have 4. Wouldn't change a thing. I'm sure if we had gotten a surprise or two, we would have managed. I think most people are happy with their number, even if their number is 0.
This is almost exactly what I was going to type. I had a singleton first, then twins. The doctor told me my chances of having another set of twins was very high, so we didn’t go for another. 5 just seemed like too many should it happen!I have 3. A fourth would have been welcomed. 5 is too many.
One. DH & I are more than happy with our 90 pound yellow lab. He goes to school (doggie daycare), doesn't have a job, seeks attention constantly, but gives us unconditional love and happiness...so he's pretty much our child. Just haven't figured out how to declare him a dependent on our taxes yet.
I’ve been reading all the replies and this was going to be my answer. I’d feel perfectly okay with six. We have three. Those three are miracles. It took me many years and many miscarriages to get those three. We decided after the twins that we were done because we were getting old and we didn’t know if all my problems were “fixed” or if we’d be heading down the recurrent miscarriage path again. Three is such a blessing. I would never have guessed I’d have two, let alone three children, but I feel I could have easily managed six.Hmmm.....6 would be my max I would feel comfortable with. We have 3. Two bio and one adopted. We thought of adopting one more but, for various reasons, it didn't happen.
My doctor said this too.This is almost exactly what I was going to type. I had a singleton first, then twins. The doctor told me my chances of having another set of twins was very high, so we didn’t go for another. 5 just seemed like too many should it happen!
