Now that I’m an adult and have a much better idea of how much my preferred standard of living costs, college costs, medical/dental stuff costs, adequate retirement costs – we’re looking more at 1, with a very small chance of a second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-65120 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:25:32 +0000 Mrs.KMM 65120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's pretty much the same. I always figured I'd have 3 kids and that is still what I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64899 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:00:37 +0000 plantains 64899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really gave it too mucgh thought when I was younger, now I'm thinking two or if I strike it rich, three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64779 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:05:18 +0000 GreenThumb 64779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in my early teens I really wanted to adpot children rather than have my own biological children. I remember my aunt saying that that would change as I got older. And it did :). I still think adoption is awesome and definitely won't rule it out, but we're TTC first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64776 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:02:06 +0000 oliviaoblivia 64776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted four so did DH, but seeing as we are trying for #1 at 30/31 we'll be happy with however many we can get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64761 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:32:32 +0000 tequiero21 64761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never planned for twins! and i thought wanted 3. we'll see. for our 3rd, it's one of those, we'll be happy with 2, but if we have a 3rd, that's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64649 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:10:38 +0000 heffalump 64649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up I wasn't sure that I wanted any kids. Now I'd like as many as hubby will let me have. Which will probably only be 2 unless I want to go back to work, which I don't. I want to stay home with my kiddos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-family-plans-now-the-same-as-when-you-were-younger#post-64648 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:06:22 +0000 mediagirl 64648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: wow girl!

I never really thought, "I have to have this many kids." I always just knew I wanted them. Now that we're planning on having just one, I'm totally okay wih it. </p>
