Amusingly, both my mom and her sister had 3 children because their parents had 2. They were annoyed because one of them was "daddy's child" and one was "mommy's child" and they figured that having 3 each would prevent that. Numerology matters.
They both did end up having 3 kids, and I can report that I think the problem they thought they were preventing didn't happen. Win!
- EGreg 8y agoCan you describe the dynamics that did occur? Were the kids happier overall when there were 3 of them than 2? I know it’s tough to reduce everything to that one factor but still curious.
- Fnoord 8y ago> I know it’s tough to reduce everything to that one factor Yes, that's the whole problem with this discusion. It isn't scientific, lots of anecdata, and correlation does not imply causation.
