For those of you with 4 or 5 kids - how did you decide?

We currently have 4, but considering a 5th. We’re also nearing 40, so don’t have much time to wait to decide.

Also, if it matters to the discussion - I am a working mom (average 50 hours/week) and essentially the “breadwinner” of the family right now while my husband is a SAHD/inbetween jobs.

If you had 4, why did you stop there? What are the pros and cons? 6 does seem like a nice round number for a family!

If you had 5, why did you have another? Other than the fact that you love your child (I’m sure almost everyone does!), would 4 have been easier? Sometimes I wonder if I’ll think someone is “missing” down the road.

5 would be the 100% absolute last, so if you’re someone who has more than 5 (kudos to you!), it may be a little different.

Thanks!!
