I was always more 1-2 and would like to give us until her 2nd birthday to decide for sure. Some days, having another seems way too overwhelming, but sometimes I do think it would be fun for her to have a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512505 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 08:27:24 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2512505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wanted 2 but I talked him into 3 which he was happy with but he is done now and I kinda want another....sigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512501 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 08:22:59 +0000 Caly 2512501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both always said 2 or 3. Our twins are exhausting and as much as he would love to have a son, we're both happy with our two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512439 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 06:38:12 +0000 Pumuckl 2512439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always said 3 and he said 2. We agreed to have 2 and then reevaluate. Most days we both want a third so we'll probably start NTNP soon and just see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512432 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 06:31:29 +0000 MrsBrewer 2512432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both wanted 4! That seemed like the perfect amount. I would still love 4, but we may realistically only have 2 for financial reasons. But time will tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512422 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 05:57:36 +0000 knittylady 2512422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants to repopulate the earth so it's really all up to me. We're thinking 3-4 with the outside possibility of 5. We have two now and will ttc sometime this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512420 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 05:55:43 +0000 bloved 2512420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? He was always in the two camp. However, when we had a really hard time conceiving our 2nd child, he was very okay being one and done. Thankfully he still was fine with us Persuing fertility treatments, but we both agreed if our last attempt had not worked we would have stopped trying (at least for a little while). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2512406 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:10:11 +0000 Nutella 2512406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back when we were dating, we both said we wanted two kids...then after we got married discovered we both secretly wanted three! After our gorgeous LO arrived, we toyed with the idea of three...but after our MC last year I realised ttc is too hard on me emotionally as it doesn't seem to be as easy as just wishing (obvs)...i think we will stop at two (&amp; be so grateful)!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511860 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 14:44:56 +0000 psw27 2511860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are taking it one kid at a time. Right now, we have 1. We'll see where we go from here. We both waiver depending on how things are going. I think we both definitely want 2 but we take it day by day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511839 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 14:36:35 +0000 catomd00 2511839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! He's firmly in the 4 camp. I'm at a 2, maybe persuaded into 3. Taking it one kid at a time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511768 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 14:09:49 +0000 jetsa 2511768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has always wanted 1, I have always wanted 2. We had IF getting pregnant with our first and assumed that was it, so of course SURPRISE :bfp: and now we have 2 and are done. He got sniped 8 weeks after sis was born. I would be open to fostering once our kids are 5+ but idk about DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511748 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 14:01:19 +0000 PinkElephant 2511748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He used to want 4. I'm pregnant with #3, and he says we're definitely done after this one. I'm firmly in that camp as well, so I'm pleased with his change of heart. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511737 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:58:31 +0000 DillonLion 2511737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's always wanted two but I'm still working to convince him to be one and done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511731 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:57:46 +0000 Alba4 2511731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have always wanted 2. Especially now that this most recent pregnancy has been challenging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511669 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:23:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2511669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's always wanted a large family. He would love 4 kids. I don't see myself with that many, especially since we have infertility. He's hoping for at least one more, and I am too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511666 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:21:25 +0000 avivoca 2511666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Originally, he wanted 0 kids and I wanted two, maybe three. I'm pregnant with #2 and am pretty sure that this is my last pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511663 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:18:04 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2511663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always wanted a large family because he is 1 of 8. I always said 2 and we'll talk about more. Now that we have 2, DH is ready to stop and I'd like to adopt in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511655 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:12:00 +0000 gingerbebe 2511655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is one of 3 and I am one of 2, so we'd been open to 2-3, and perhaps a 4th or fostering later in life. But then we had a lot of issues conceiving our first child, a rough pregnancy, and a rough first year. So then we were like okay maybe we can swing 2 after DS is a little older. But then we got a surprise pregnancy when he was 10 months old and now we'll have 2 boys 20 months apart! </p> <p>DH and I feel like physically (for me) we're good with 2, but we're still open to a 3rd via adoption or fostering in the future, so I guess the door is technically open? We've never really disagreed on the number of kids though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511650 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:10:36 +0000 pastemoo 2511650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Nope, he started wanting 3 and still wants 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511625 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:59:21 +0000 Purpledaisy 2511625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's pretty flexible. He definitely wanted kids but didn't have a number in mind. I want 3 and he's good with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511605 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:51:40 +0000 Torchwood 2511605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! He's killing me! Though I wavered some too. Initially I wanted 2-3, he wanted 0-2, so 2 was our compromise. After all we've been through I was thinking maybe 1. We were good with that, then when LO was 6 months he throws out that maybe he wants another. Which just got in my head and now I REALLY want another, but now he's back to not wanting another. Come on man! If he'd never brought it up I really don't think I'd have reconsidered. Now I'm frustrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511566 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:28:21 +0000 LulaBee 2511566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I met him, he was firmly no more (he has an adult son from a previous marriage). Now we have 2 (living) children together and he is done, firmly so since he got snipped last month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511523 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:05:10 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2511523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Midway through this pregnancy he changed his mind from wanting 3 to saying just need 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511466 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:42:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2511466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He changes his mind every day. Some days he is eager for another, some days he swears he is done, some days he says "we will have to wait and see." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511453 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:35:14 +0000 ValentineMommy 2511453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH would be happy being done with our 2 boys, but I'd really like more.</p> <p>He agreed to 3 and said "you know you'll get whatever you want"! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511433 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:22:30 +0000 KT326 2511433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always agreed on two or three. We only have one right now so we'll see what the future holds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511432 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:21:49 +0000 Crystal 2511432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh has always wanted 6. Getting to number one has been a long drawn out struggle, so now he says 2. Once we finally have 1, we'll have to reevaluate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511422 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:14:23 +0000 petunia354 2511422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he has always been open to whatever I wanted! He's completely happy with the one we have, but would be open to more if it happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511417 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:11:49 +0000 Mama Bird 2511417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he's gone back and forth on the number depending on our work circumstances and whether the kids have been behaving lately :silly: He's a very involved dad, so I know if we have any more kids just as much of the hard work will fall on his shoulders as on mine. Except for lots of reasons it's harder for him to deal with the kids while they're little, so he's the one who will make the call whether our family will grow some more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-dh-change-his-mind-about-how-many-kids-he-wanted#post-2511409 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:07:34 +0000 mfa_lady 2511409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'd like ten if I'd go for it. He's one of 6, and I'm one of 2, so 4 is meeting in the middle of our norms. Ha! I'm pregnant with #2 now, so we'll see how we actually feel after that. </p>
