How Many is Too Many?

So
you go through the entire process of adopting or birthing your first
kid. Now you're done right? Well, inevitably, you and your wife will
soon be barraged with the questions of when you are going to have more
kids. I have always felt that is an incredibly rude question. It's
really no one's business except you and your wife whether you decide to
have more kids.
There are many factors to consider when planning
for more kids. You have the social factor: how does having an only
child affect the way they are raised, and the way they are treated by
you and your wife? You also have the financial factor: can you possibly
afford another kid and all that kid will require? Remember, the Vagina is not a clown car (See image on right)
These are all important things to consider. Still, most people,
depending on your religious beliefs, sometimes feel it should be up to
a higher power. Citing "If it is meant to be, it's meant to be".
Personally, I feel college is too expensive to play Penetration
Roulette.
Whatever
your beliefs, know this: 2 children does not mean the amount of work of
baby #1 times two. It just doesn't work that way. But having a second
kid is a beautiful thing. I suppose a third and a fourth is too.
If you are done having kids, what factors led you to stop? And if you are thinking of more, what are you waiting for?

I\'m about to have my first anytime now. If we had to choose now, my wife and I have decided that 3 would be the right number. Thats not to say we wont stop at 2, but I cant honostly see us going to 4 (barring twins of course), and we both agree that one not an option (although all may change come 6 months from now :eek )

And to BmoreDad, yeah, I saw that Discovery special on the family with WAY too many kids. Aren\'t they up to 16 and still open for more?! Did you see the special that followed them building their own house, more like a compound? 16 is simply too freaking many.
