How many children do your sims have?
I am normally pretty boring and have 2 kids, but I am exploring the game further. I currently have 1 toddler, 1 infant and a baby on the way. Enjoying the family play.

I usually try and keep them to 1-3. I get stressed and need to pause constantly to get anything done once the household is more than 4 sims.
However, I usually play by the rule that both sims in a relationship have to have a "Try for Baby"/"Adopt a Child" Want at the same time before I allow it. I will pin them if they don't have any kids yet, or only have one kid and I want a sibling. After they have a kid or two I stop pinning them, and they would have to occur simultaneously naturally to count. Busier parents have less kids.
I haven't decided how I'll apply this rule for single sims that want a baby (if that is a possible Want with Science Babies being a thing now). Maybe they will need to roll the Want twice in one week/rotation for me to accept it.
Sims that Hate Children will only get new (on top of any given when spawned/by NS) kids if they/their partner are abducted or they move into a family that includes kids or another couple having kids already.
Noncommittal sims might have kids, but won't be the primary caregiver of said kids, whether that's due to them foisting them off on the other parent, moving in caregiver help/hiring caregiver staff or moving them in with other relatives to care for.
