Its good to look at the long game when it comes to having children. Not just what works right now or the cons of a busy life with 4 now. But its important to take into consideration how your family will work and operate in 10 years. How will you handle school and college? When will you be able to retire? How will your home and neighborhood work for the family as they grow? What about your job? What about the cost of insurance and day care? A lot to consider.
I come from a family of five! All girls! My dad loved being a girl dad. It didn't stop him from involving us in everything he was interested in. We back packed, went camping, and helped him with home projects. He used to say that the hardest thing was once they had the 5th one, there wasn't enough grown ups to hold each little girl's hand as we walked across the street or parking lot. LOL
