I don't want to ask my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415863 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:12:35 +0000 Bao 415863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad has asked about 17 times if after this LO we were only having one more. He really only wants us to have 2 at the most.

We're planning on having two with the option of a third. They have voiced that they want us to wait until we're closer to home before we have anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415846 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:03:54 +0000 meredithNYC 415846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they would like at least two.

She thinks I should stop at 2.<br /> All my aunts and etc tell me to have 3 or 4 (they cray)<br /> Mom tells me they're crazy and not to listen.<br /> 2 is a good number says she! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415681 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:07:02 +0000 heffalump 415681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think as long as there are grandchildren my parents are happy, and of course my mom would like more, but there's no pressure. Yet at least. Luckily my brother just had a baby so my mom is happy for now and my sister doesn't have kids so she should be next to get pressure, not me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415671 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:02:22 +0000 Meridian 415671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they assume we're going to have 2, but I've never asked what they think about this matter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415669 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:59:57 +0000 Honeybee 415669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad just asked us yesterday if we were going to have 5 total. :/ My parents had 5, so apprently that's the perfect number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-want-you-to-have-a-certain-number-of-kids#post-415665 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:58:10 +0000 autumnlove 415665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want 2 children with the option of a 3rd.</p> <p>My MIL thinks 3 is a must because she had 3 children. My parents also want us to have 3 because they had two and my mom had her tubes tied....they had baby fever a few years later but they weren't able to reverse it.</p> <p>Do your parents want you to have a certain number of kids? </p>
