So how did you and your spouse have only two children? Were you using NFP? I’m not being judmental at all, I am just wondering how you could only afford 2 and just happend to have only 2 children when you were wanting at least 4?Is is so refreshing to see a post from someone who lives in the “real” world. I, too, understand the OP’s point. My DH and I wanted 4 children…we could afford 2. We’re happy with that. We are close to empty nesters and are looking forward to it being “just us two” again. We waited 2 yrs after we got married to have a child, and 21 mths after that for the second one.
When having children, it is prudent that couples have some sense of their finances. The electric company and the mortgage will turn your lights off and foreclose on your house whether you’re Catholic or not. Catholic tuition isn’t free by any means. When my kids attended Catholic school, I worked there…and still paid full price tuition. No break there. It is good that the OP asks these questions. NFP can be a good thing, if you can follow it. It’s just like any other method. It has it’s pros and cons.
Note to Seatuck: I am not, (as the wife) obligated to provide sex as part of our relationship . It’s mutual or it isn’t happening.
