How many children do you have or plan to have and why? This is an argument my hubby and I are having, I just want 2 children, whatever they may be 2 boys, or 1 of each (we already have a son), he wants 3 children.
My argument:
* I'm not a really motherly type
* I didn't enjoy pregnancy at all the first time around
* I cant breastfeed directly but still want to offer my baby the best there is, so I pump, every 3 hours for 15 minutes. (I hate being so attached to a machine like that)
* I want to be able to put all my energy and concentration on just those 2 children ensuring they are raised properly and have a sound faith belief.
* I believe that more than 2 is too expensive
* I want to be done with pregnancies, babies and all that and concentrate on me a bit more.
His argument:
* Having a lot of children is one of the best blessings of life.
* His sisters and him were 3 and he believes he had the best childhoood there is.
* What's 1 more child?! What's the difference between 2 or more!
* A lot of people we know have 3 children. (a majority of them say that baby number 3 was a mistake!)
*His sister has 4 and number 5 is on the way, and he thinks its great that the children have many brothers and sisters and when they grow up there will be a lot of nieces and nephews and cousins and whatnot.
What are your arguments?
