It's kind of hilarious how outraged we are about the idea of four. That is just TOOO many. (As if it's so many more than three!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417661 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:03:33 +0000 prettylizy 417661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both come from families of 2, and we're planning on having 2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417640 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:57:00 +0000 Mrs. Train 417640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was an only child and I was 1 of 2 kids. We now have four kids which was more than we ever thought we would have when we first started talking about children and more than each of our families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417547 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:30:29 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 417547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want the same or more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417544 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:29:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of us grew up with 2 other siblings.

We are having (hopefully) four. More than my parents, fewer than his - a happy middle I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417452 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:06:25 +0000 Dapple Grey 417452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe?<br /> We both come from two child families with one boy and one girl. I think we want just one but baby fever is evil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417435 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:02:27 +0000 BoogieBea 417435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have 2 and in laws have 3.

We are planning only 1 or 2 kids. No more than 2 for sure, and maybe only 1 (although it depends on how the first one goes and IF we can even have kids at all...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417414 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:58:18 +0000 LaurenEC 417414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both from 2. #2 is on the way for us, but we're undecided if that's all. My mom is 1 of 8 and my MIL is 1 of 5 (i think). We will not make it that far, though we both love that we have lots of cousins, so maybe our grandkids will get to have that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417170 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:44:33 +0000 mrsjazz 417170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My mom has 4. My dad has 6. DH's mom has 1 and his dad has 2. We may or may not give LO a sibling--2 at the maximum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417163 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:40:41 +0000 DigAPony 417163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm an only and want at least two kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417116 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:23:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 417116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - my parents had two, and I'm about to have two. Might even end up with more than them! DH comes from a family of three though, and he wants to recreate that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417113 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:23:14 +0000 Smurfette 417113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so! My parents wanted two, but my little brother was a surprise. We only want two. DH is already saying he is getting snipped after 2 to make sure no surprises come along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417062 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:07:03 +0000 tororojo 417062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want more kids than my parents! Both of them have 3 siblings each, but I just have my sister and it makes me sad that my kids won't have tons of cousins around like I did! So I figure if we have 3-4 kids there will be lots of grandchildren that can have fun together! Admittedly, LO #1 is still marinating so this plan could change based on a lot of factors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417042 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:02:16 +0000 glimmersnaps 417042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an only child and I hated it growing up (and still do) so we are planning on having at least 2, maybe 3. The in-laws had 3 so we might have the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417039 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:01:31 +0000 Weagle 417039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an only child, and DH has one sibling.

We will probalby only have two children (financianly that's all we could afford) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417034 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:58:49 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 417034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. There were three of us. My brother did not have any kids (he passed away), my sister will not be having any (not planning to anyhow), and FI and I may have one. As long as we can pay off some of our stuff in the next two years LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417023 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:56:00 +0000 spaniellove 417023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents only had 1 and we're hoping to only have 1. My in-laws have 2, although DH thinks they should have stopped at 1...him. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-417022 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:55:38 +0000 Amelieisme 417022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm one of five and DH is one of 3.

I'm currently pregnant with my first. My husband is one of 13 and we will in no way, shape or form get close to that number. Though I would bet at least one of the kids follows in their footsteps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-having-less-kids-than-your-parents-did#post-416959 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:35:12 +0000 BelugaBean 416959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. My dad only had me but my mom had my brother as well. We want two max but may stick with one. So I'll possibly have less than my mom but the same as my dad. </p>
