Should Wives Make the Final Decision when it Comes to Having Another Baby?

Are you a wife or a husband who already have children but have been thinking lately about adding another to your family? This is definitely something that a lot of women tend to think about as they get older. Should they have just one more? Especially if she is a mother who is in great shape, and had no complications with the last few pregnancies, why not? I sat down and spoke with a few couple, both husbands and wives to see what they thought about this topic. Altogether there were a total of about six couples that I had the opportunity to speak with.

The first question that I asked them was how many children they each had. Two of the couples had two children each, couple number three had four children, and couples number five and six each had one child. So I decided to ask couple numbers five and six if they wanted to have more children. Well both of the wives from these two couples said that they would like to have more children. The husband from couple number five agreed, however the husband from coupled number six did not agree. He said that their finances were a little tight already with one child and he did not think they would ever get ahead financially so one child would be enough. Obviously the rest of the couples had to agree that your financial situation has a lot to do with whether or not you can continue adding to your family. Still this one wife could not stop thinking about having another child. I directed my next question to couple number three who has four children. I asked them how they were able to manage having so many children, and if these were planned or surprise pregnancies.
