We had friends who had quads, 1 one girl and 3 boys...I remember visiting their house one day when the kids were 3 or 4. They were all simultaneously throwing all their toys at the wall. Their mother looked like she wanted to jump out the window.
All the same age would be rough. Spreading them out over time helps. Though, I would prefer to have twins this next time around since we want 3 total, and we can just knock out the rest in one more pregnancy.

 
I read this and was like, "Yeah, yeah, after 2...wait.  5?  Why would you do that to yourself?"
To give natural selection the finger! 😂

(For context, I have no kids and it's entirely possible that natural selection will, ultimately, be giving me the finger.) 

 
With these stories you guys are just reinforcing the "one and done" decision my wife and I made.
Give the first one a year before making a final decision. It's so amazing and unbelievable watching them grow up and interact with other kids, that's why we want more.

 
Yeah but how do you afford everything else.
Roughly, I'd say the cost of each kid is: Tn = S / (5 + 2^n), Where Tn is the total cost for kid n, and S is your yearly salary.

Tn = S / (5 + 2^n)   for     age of oldest < 5
ΣT1..n = S     for     age of oldest > 5

So in 3.25 years my kid will eat up my entire salary. Thanks for the heads up. I will see if I can up my intermittent fasting to full time fasting. 
Yep. School clothes, karate, T ball, birthday gifts, other kids' birthday party gifts, christmas, summer camp, 529 plan, food, etc. lol

I imagine one day I'll be sitting in the living room on my phone looking at my bank account and saying, "Honey, I thought I got paid today." She'll then reply, "You did. We have 3 kids. Thanks."
