I think all my friends came from families of 2-3 kids.
We had three kids in my family, too.
Anyone else care to post?

Three. We were all 5 years apart.

My husband has a sister & he is 5 years older.

We have 2 now who are 23 months apart.

I would love to have one more. We'll see.

I just always want them to have one another & for some reason, think 3 is the right number for that!

Oh, yeah, you can post how many are in generations before you. It's fascinating to me.
In my family it goes like this:
I have one child, I came from a family of three children, my dad is an only child, my mom one of of 6. My father's mother was one of 8 and NOT ONE of her siblings had more than 3 kids. (some had none!).
My husband is also one of three kids.
Is there some demographic to this? Are you people who are one of three siblings in your late thirties to mid forties? I swear most of the people we knew had 3 children back in the 1970s..!

It was just me and my sister into our teens, then two more when my dad and my step-mother had my brother and sister. I went to highschool (in the 90's) with a kid who was one of 11.
