So my step dad is a huge stickler on everyone should have 2 kids blah blah blah - but I love this man to death so the advice he gives me, I take into consideration. We were talking a bout how my sister is pregnant with her 2nd and she KNEW she was close to $20k in debt but TTC anyways. I mentioned "Jay and I would love to have another one.." I couldnt even finish my sentence and he said "You know over population is huge, you have 2 kids, one to replace you and one to replace Jay, leave it at that"
So it just really made me feel selfish that I would even consider #3...what do you think?

Bethy, I think he drank all of your rum! Think of all the people that will never reproduce. Having 3 children is not being a breeder! I am one of 3 and it was great. Mike was an only child and wasn't happy.
I think you should do exactly what will make you, Jay, Ian, and Morgan happy!

I know you love your step-dad, but he needs to keep his mouth shut about these kind of things. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Having children in general is selfish. I mean honestly, do we do this for "the world". I think not

I do not agree with him at all!! Your not over populating the world, your family is your family. You add to it as you feel necessary!!
And if it makes you feel better Beth, Im done after Kennedi so tell him your friend is only having one baby so you have three!  Seriously!
