Modern parents who feel obligated rather than intrinsically motivated to produce offspring tend to look on kids as a necessary evil, and the less evil the better; I see multiple children as a necessary good. And Renee's right: with subsequent children, the hard stuff starts to peel away, and the happy stuff just piles up.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437182150289507067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707333186803278314.post-88375899174367153452007-09-10T15:12:00.000-04:002007-09-10T15:12:00.000-04:00The more kids I have, the more I want!

As a child from a 2 kid family I always wanted more siblings. Experiences, extra-curricular activities, and stuff is nice - but a close, loving family is nicer than anything money can buy!<BR/><BR/>Also, although kids are different, they do get easier to deal with. Maybe as parents we become more relaxed and don't sweat the small stuff, I'm not sure. There are still moments I want to pull my hair out, but the initial stress of being a "first-time parent" is by far the very toughest time.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, finances do have to be considered to some extent. Right now, 3 kids is all we have room for and can possibly afford to feed and clothe! However, should God ever decide to bless us even more financially, I would love to have 4 or more kids!Renee Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439857793554640854noreply@blogger.com
