Does that mean you're one of the people who fall for ****** clickbait facebook ads like that and actually watch the sponsored videos?

If it wasn't for people like HRoi, advertising wouldn't make FB any money.

Mrs. UnF wants another baby. We have a great pair of kids and a perfect family and she thinks a third will be accretive to long-term happiness (in particular more grandkids). I think she’s probably right but there are certainly risks not to mention the financial considerations given the lifestyle we have chosen - eg private schools, nanny, etc.

The thing is no matter what we do, I’ve already lost in the short to medium term. If we stand pat she’s bummed. If we move forward she has to go through pregnancy which is no walk in the park.

Here’s the kicker: she isn’t fully committed either. She wants my agreement for her to further explore what she really wants.

So yeah, this doesn’t augur well.

This economist believes the incremental cost on kids is small but each additional kid is accretive to happiness.

Maybe that book is his side hustle so he can afford more kids. The incremental cost would be much lower for us if we lived in a house which can accommodate a larger family (to the standards my wife would want), sent our kids to public schools and had a stay at home parent. None of those things are true for my family - well except possibly the house thing. She is open to trying to have the kids share a room.

I got 3 only because 2 came at one time. The oldest, by 7 years, still thinks she's an only child.
