Eh, big waste of money in the end when it gets termites, someone gets transferred for the job and the house will be on the market for a long time, kids grow up and move away, insurance is higher, maintenance is higher, monthly utilities are higher.
Don't take this as snarky, but I'm trying to figure out why you said you husband is very tall. It seems like it is supposed to be related to having kids close in age, but I'm not sure.
Because he is so tall (6'3) we would have needed a car that was larger to accommodate us all, plus we rightly assumed any and all sons would be as tall or taller. Right now, we have an Escape, just the one car. My son is now 15 and 6'1 - with the seats having to be arranged for their comfort, it's a tight fit. I'm 5'7, daughter is 5'4. If we had a third child, they would have to be much, much younger (hence, smaller) to fit us all in one vehicle.
Not sure why you guys are giving her so much Flack.
She's obviously done a lot of homework before considering another child (something that MOST people don't do).
Raising kids in a GOOD HOME that will enable them to grow into healthy productive human beings IS the TOUGHEST job there is...
...UNLESS you happened to have millions and can afford house maids, servants, private schools and tutors, doctor bills AND GOD FORBID your child is born with a handicap. Then, what will you do ???
She sounds like she's suffering from UN-necessary guilt.

I don't see a problem with her decision.
She's already got 2 kids...what's the problem ?
..
Giving her flack because MOST PEOPLE decide when they have had enough kids...or the choice is made for them. And many of us sometimes wish we could have more but life just isn't that way. Unless you are Angelina Jolie. Whining about "sacrificing" a third kid for a dream home is the ultimate of stupid 1st world problems.

Problem? None. She is making a legitimate and healthy choice.
The tone of the article is hilarious. My kids have all they need. I have a vacation time share, and my dream home. I'm a stay at home Mom. But, I've sacrificed... horrible... horrible SACRIFICES!
