White woman here. Three kids all seven ish years apart. I would have had more but I like a few things. I like being able to go places. I like knowing I can feed the kids and also buy them clothes. Having kids is expensive. I love the shit out of my husband and would have had a more if it was something that we could afford to have without being poor. As it is 6/7 years apart is kind of perfect.

Don't get me wrong. I want women to have fulfilling and stimulating careers. I just want society to me more accommodating to them when they have children. Lower moms working hours for a start. Also give people with more children tax breaks and make their workplace kid friendly. Shifting the workplace from the office to their home can also help. Another important aspect is the cost of education. If we make primary and higher education much more affordable it enable many to have more children.
