Some newly married friends were visiting us when the topic of children came up. The bride said she wanted three children, while the young husband said two would be enough for him.
They discussed this discrepancy for a few minutes until the husband thought he'd put an end to things by saying boldly, "After our second child, I'll just have a vasectomy."
Without a moment's hesitation, the bride retorted, "Well, I hope you'll love the third one as if it's your own."
From my own experience, when the third child knew of any such discussion to limit the number to two, she would feel unwanted even though at the time of argument it was a decision on number and not deciding after the child was born, whether to keep her.
We have three children, and I must admit it was the biggest mistake on my part to have had the argument against having the third child, based solely on my concern over financial ability.
Belated happy 22nd birthday, Nee!
In fact, we are actually envious of those couples who had a child after a long gap and do not face the empty nest problem like we do now!
