I'd like to go for 3 esp if we have 2 boys first </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124297 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:26:33 +0000 Alivoo01 124297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! 2 kids, one of each (if we're fortunate). If we double up, we'd try for a third, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124271 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:13:38 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 124271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We see eye to eye, pretty much. I am an only child and loved it growing up, so I've always thought I would just like to have 1. Though as an adult I have seen the relationships that my friends now have with their siblings, so that would be my reason for wanting my child to have a sibling. Of course, you can't guarantee that your children will be great friends.</p> <p>ANYWAY - DH definitely wants just 1, but would be okay with 2 if I really want 2. But I think 2 would be his cut-off. Both for financial reasons and having the freedom to travel/do things more easily without 10 kids in tow :P</p> <p>We have talked about giving birth to one child and adopting one if we are able to. That will be a few years down the road but we both really hope that we will have the means to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124211 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:47:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 124211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep between 2-3. He thinks we should try for a 3rd if we get 2 of the same gender, I'm still not sold on this if I already have 2 boys, 3 boys seems like a handful! haha although I'm not against it if I have 2 girls though (I'm thinking because I was raised with all girls.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124124 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:11:18 +0000 Andrea 124124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: i know, i am hearing that more and more. you can't count on one so you need another as back-up!! "collect them all" -haha, i like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124118 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:08:57 +0000 Lozza 124118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We're the same... DH would be fine with one, but I've said I need a spare in case one is messed up (which DH usually defines as "right-handed" since he is a proud leftie and I define as "a UNC fan"). But if we had unlimited resources, I would totally collect them all. (or maybe like 4 or 5) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124088 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:00:15 +0000 Arden 124088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: We're the same as you. We want at least three, and then we'll decide if we want more. We also want to adopt, so we could end up with a very big family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124083 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:58:50 +0000 mrsjyw 124083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has always said he wants 4+ kids. I've always wanted 3. </p> <p>So we agreed on 3. :D</p> <p>LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124080 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:58:08 +0000 Minnie_Girl 124080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much, yes. We know we don't want an only child, but we're not married to an exact number of kids. I'm thinking 3 or 4, he's thinking 2 or 3. We'll see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-124000 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:24:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 124000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I want more than two. I'd be happy with just one. My husband wants four or five. So I'd say we don't agree anymore. He used to want just two as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123927 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:06:17 +0000 Andrea 123927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, pretty much. We'll either have 1 or 2. But I secretly want more -- if only we were richer and had family around to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123923 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:05:03 +0000 Rubies 123923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We WANT four...Realistically, two.

But for now, we just want our first to arrive safe and healthy =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123846 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:30:52 +0000 tequiero21 123846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both want at least 2...

So that's why I want 2 boys and 2 girls. hehe.</p> <p>My husband grew up with 2 older brothers....I'm afraid of 3 boys like them!!

The only thing stopping us from either is finances!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123017 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:58:54 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 123017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're mostly agreed. I've always wanted 4, DH would be fine with 2 or 3. We've agreed to get to 3 and then decide on the fourth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123016 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:58:54 +0000 chopsuey 123016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hunni: Hahaha.

Growing up, I always said I wanted 4, but both of us are teachers, so we're not gonna be rich by any means lol. I think we've decided on 3 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123008 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:52:07 +0000 rawrasaur 123008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both agree at least 2 and at most 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-123004 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:42:03 +0000 dc yoga bee 123004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Please please please continue wishing that on us! I've made it perfectly clear if we have a boy he's still getting a pink nursery soooo! My boy yorkie eats out of a pink bowl with no problems hehehe!

I would want to have more than 1 too! Having siblings is great!</p> <p>@artbee: I'd like 3 (biological) too! We'll see what happens though :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-122993 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:30:35 +0000 heffalump 122993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. DH would be happy with 2, but I want 3. But I'm willing to keep it at 2 because we can't afford more, and I want to be able to stay a SAHM. But he's open to 3 if we start making more money in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-see-eye-to-eye-on-how-many-kids-you-want#post-122992 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:30:35 +0000 dc yoga bee 122992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to have an only child (unless God willing), because my older brother is one of my absolute best friends (he walked me down aisle with Dad), and I want our kids to be able to experience that. Yes, I know there's no guarantee they'll be best buds (DH and his sister HATE ea other), but I at least want the opportunity for that to happen. DH only wants one as he is emotionally scarred by how horrible his relationship with his sister has been. But, then again that whole family has issues. In pre-marital counseling we agreed we will try for two, as our pastor was like a lot of it comes with disciplining your children (THANK YOU). Three months post pre-marital counseling and one month after marriage DH told me he wouldn't mind 3 as long as they were all boys haha. </p>
