Sometimes when they asked you the same question a million times and wont leave you alone you wonder if its worth my mental being...I also think that in 20-25 years when they are having their kids that they will have each other to talk to and stuff like that.

3 kids is not too many but it may be too many for YOU.
It's a personal choice and I think every woman knows, deep down, when she has had enough kids, when that urge to procreate has been suppressed and when she really is done with pregnancy, birth and babies. When that voice in you tells you that you are done, stop.

That depends on who you ask. My husband would say that you were just getting started. We have 5 and are praying for #6 and to keep going.
My advice is to not wait until you can afford them. You will never be able to. Don't let anyone else tell you how many children you should or should not have. They are not the ones tucking them in at night or bandaging scraped knees or paying for their college. Just be thankful that you have 2 to keep each other busy and give you a break once in a while. :-)

Just think back, didn't you ask the same questions over and over to your mother? They are just being kids and that is probably just a stage they are going through. I think that if you are going to have three you may as well have four to even them out because with three somebody usually does feel left out. I think that that is up to you does your heart tell you to have another kid? If so go for it. Kids are the biggest blessing anybody could have in their life. They are truly a very special gift. I want to have four kids maybe more than that.

If you want a big family three or even four, or more, is fine. I only have one and actually my sister who has four has an easier time raising her kids than I do. When one gets older they help with the little ones, and eventually they are all old enough to help out. My sister said after the third its no harder the more you add on to the family. She always wanted a big family. I myself am happy with the one.

in all honesty, a large part of my decision would be based on my financial situation. if you're not overly wealthy, you should ask yourself if you would rather have a large family but live very modestly, or just have 2 children and be able to take them on vacations, outings, to restaurants, and give them a very comfortable life.

If you feel that 3 is too many for you then yes, 3 is too many. Only you know how many kids you can handle.

It all depends. How old are your kids? If you are able to manage two, then why not three. And if you're financially good, then why not? Sounds like you're ready.

It all depends on your age and financial conditions
