I had a coworker tell me one time (she has three) that the world was made for a family of four. Going out to eat, making hotel reservations, etc.

Never really thought of it like that but your co-worker is absolutely correct.

I have 3 kids 2 DS (16 & 3) 1 DD ( 4 )

I do not get the comments about having 3 kids, I get the comment "what were you thinking!!!!!" Since DS was 12 when DD came along.

I'd like to answer, and sometimes find that question difficult to answer so I'll answer as another mom in a previous post did.
We've had 6, now we have 4 with us. 1 girl now 17yrs, and 3 boys ages 16, 11, and my baby is now 5yrs old!
We lived in a small village/town when we had our 3rd and and the norm there was 3 or more (often more). We were expecting our then 4th when we moved to the city, and people were Shocked to know that we were having 4!
I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd love to have more, but my last pregnancy was high risk, and I don't want to risk things again.

We have 2, a girl 25 and a boy that just turned 18.

The baby in my Avatar is my Grandson that my 25 year old daughter was kind enough to bring into our lives 8 months ago. I feel like he's partly mine too.

We have 2 DD5 and DS2. My DH is still hoping for that baseball team.

 

[Our 2 Princesses]

2 girls 9 and 13. I wanted 3 but lost that baby. My friend that I daycare for just had her 6th. 5 girls and now a boy.

Just one for us !!


I am from a family of three and it seems perfectly normal...but the idea of ME having three kids terrifies me! Not that I want my child to be spoiled but I do enjoy being able to take her on Disney trips once a year and I'm not sure we could afford it with more kids.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

4 children and all young. We love it and would welcome more!

 

[3princesses+aprince]

I have 3 daughters, 9,7 and 5, and 1 stepson ,12!!! We always get comments on how many kids we have. It is terribly annoying! It's not like they landed on our doorstep and we were the misfortunate ones who got them. We WANTED them!!! Sometimes I get comments and it sounds like they feel bad for me or something. I just don't get it.

 

[scottish mum]

I have 3, 2 boya aged 11 and 7 and a girl aged 4.

RE the world revolving around famillies of 4 I couldn't agree more. We find it so hard to get hotel rooms for us all and when you buy a family ticket it is for 2 ad and 2 ch.

I wouldn't class having 3 kids a big family.

 

[princessmom29]

Just one DD5 here, and don't plan on having any more. It is what is right for our family. I don't find 2 or 3 or even 4 kids to be outside the norm here. In fact that if anything we are in the minority with just the one and I catch a lot of grief for it. People tell me all the time that it is not fair to DD to have only one. We are all very happy, so I gues thats all that matters.

We have five: Riley(12), Avery(11), Gavin(7), Cooper(4), & Payton(8mths). The looks and comments are constant. Everywhere we go, people look. You would think we were the Duggars! I guess anything more than two children just isn't the norm anymore.

 

[Colleen27]

We've got 3, DS11, DD7, and DD8mo, and we got some comments too when I was expecting #3 from people who thought we'd stop at 2 because we had "one of each". Three doesn't feel like a big family to me, though, especially with the age difference between the girls. In a lot of ways the baby has the experience of being an only child, since it is just the two of us all day, but the big kids love playing with her too.

On the flip side, now we get comments about having another so the baby will have a playmate! Um, not going to happen in this lifetime!

 

[Brendan1]

We are a family of seven. 3 kids and my MIL and FIL live with us. I would even have more kids if I were younger. For me the bigger the better.

 

[5 for WDW]

We have three great kids. DS 11, DS 9 and DD 5.

We used to get comments when they were younger. I think only because they were small and they looked like a handfull, lol.

Now, no one says anything. We are hardly alone. Most of our friends have 3.

 

[2disneyboys]

two boys here... I would love more, but body said no and DH does not want to adopt so we are done @ 2.

I am 1 of 8 and DH is 1 of 5 so we both wanted bigger familes ~~ the more the merrier!

 

[MyCathryn]

Just 1 so far. Who knows what the future will bring...

 

[momto3inmn]

We have three, DD who is 11, and twin DD who are 8 (one has Spina Bifida and other special needs).
