How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child?

How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? It had to do with the fact that I didn't want lots of kids. Two was enough.


Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child? I stopped because I didn't want more. Two was the ideal number (in my case).

One of the schools is very old, not sure the exact year and the others are older than me but they are all updated with the latest technology so no child is left out on their education.

There is only one hospital closer to me, by about 10 minutes and it is really not that good. I was there almost 2 years ago and would never go again.

I would have to check what the place does as we get them done but I don't think they round, not positive though.

I just googled Long Island and I got that. I was trying to get a map for you but ran out of time-lol!! To give you an idea, I am in Suffolk County, that is closer to the end of the island than NYC.
