I know this question doesn't really have a "right" answer. I know it just depends on the individuals. So, this is just a hypothetical/opinion question.
If there is a couple that already has two children and they are at in impasse about whether or not to have one more child...
Should they stop at two, knowing that one parent feels like their family is incomplete? The partner loves the children that are there and knows that they could be happy with just the two, but will always wonder about and mourn for the third child that could have been.
Or should they go for one more, knowing that one of the parents isn't 100% on board with it? That partner also loves the two that are there and is a great parent, but doesn't want to disappoint the other parent and knows that they will grow to love a third child just as much as they love the existing two.
What would you decide?
