I think it is time to stop when you financially, emotionally and physically think you are at your max. Varies for every person really!

Oops then!! i already have 3!!

I think it depends on the situation. If you'll be financially stable with another and have the energy to keep up I say why not? I think I'll always have the urge for another because I love babies. I know we wont have more then three because for us I think that's where we'll mentally tap out.
