What would be your ideal family size if you had no restrictions? 2
What is your realistic family size? 2-3
Do you think your ideal family size is affected by how many siblings you and your SO had?
Yes I grew up oldest of a big family and with lots of close cousins (1 full sister 17 months apart we grew up fiercely loving and hating each other ... Didn't help that we shared a bathroom in our teenage years. 3 half siblings...my parents divorced early but I've always counted them as full siblings but two are 5 yrs younger and one 11 yrs younger) DH grew up with one brother. All of our siblings are not married and no where close to having children so there will be no one to play and build memories with Bri and that breaks our hearts. So we will have at least one more... I wanted to adopt but DH wants to have one more before then. He also desperately wants a son
What do you think has affected your family size planning the most? (Age, financials, step LO's, etc)
Financial as many people said kids are expensive and we want to be able help them with colleges. So I want to space it out a bit but I am also going to turn 35 in a few months so I am starting to feel a time crunch. But I worry when we have 2 we will be so stretched emotionally we won't adopt
