Let's pretend for a moment that money and life circumstances were not a factor. How many children did you plan on having? 

An article I read reminded me about a childhood game I had completely forgotten about, but I played it lots in elementary school. Does anyone recall the game "MASH"? It determined whom we would marry, what kind of car we would drive, what kind of home we would live in, and how many kids we would have. MASH often yielded outrageous results, like being married to your sworn enemy, driving a dump truck, living in a shack, and having 100 kids.

Thankfully, the game didn't reflect real life. So how many kids should you have? Click here to read the good, the bad, and the ugly on the number of kids you choose to have [or end up having].

My husband wanted zero, I wanted 2, so we compromised on having 3 so neither of us "won" by getting exactly what we wanted and disregarded our spouse's wishes. That's what I call team work!
