I was sooo resistant to ever dating him because of it. Thank goodness he was persistent and patient and convinced me otherwise.

I am about 5 years older than my wife, and if we met any time earlier it most likely wouldn't have worked out.<br /> Fate has a funny way of working out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270915 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:45:33 +0000 Arden 270915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we would probably have 3-4 biological and an unlimited number of adoptive children. We'd probably take lots of sibling sets with special needs since they have the hardest time finding homes. If money were no object, we would take A LOT of kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270912 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:35:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 270912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mr. Coco Bee: He was 20 when we met, 23 when I finally acquiesced to one date, 27 when we got engaged and 28 when we got married and had our first baby. He was younger than me so I was very disinterested at first and cautious after I became interested. Age is not really a factor in our relationship and now he's in his 30's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270902 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:19:48 +0000 Mr. Coco Bee 270902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: your husband is 23? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270897 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:03:31 +0000 looch 270897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh no, you're right, that wouldn't have been good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270895 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:54:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 270895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: 10-15 years earlier and my husband would have been8-13 years old... Not so good!</p> <p>I managed to have 2 babies starting at 38, so it can be done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270890 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:37:14 +0000 looch 270890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thank goodness for the sisterhood of older first time mothers! It's tough, you know, when you think about what could have been...but then I realize that my husband and I wouldn't have been right for each other 10 or 15 years ago. </p> <p>We're NTNP, but I just turned 37 and I am just not as resilient as I used to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270753 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:29:37 +0000 travelgirl1 270753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as we want now, four. Now if morning sickness was no issue, that would be a different answer entirely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270747 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:19:09 +0000 erwoo 270747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: LOL! It is! Four kids is a lot these days. ;) I don't come from a big family (there were three of us); but my parents both come from big families (mom has 8 siblings and dad has 4). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270732 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:03:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 270732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: lol four is a big family?! </p> <p>@JessicaMcB: I was one of six and never felt I didn't get enough attention. I would have loved if my parents had even more ;)<br /> Honestly I think it has more to do with the parents than the # of kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270730 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:59:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 270730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zuzu2and11: wooo another crazy one like me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270729 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:59:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 270729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I couldn't do it because of the stress of living on less $$ with that many kids. I would like to be able to afford to put each kind in whatever sports/extra curriculars they want, put the thru college, help with a car etc.. so even though they make it work - I never could!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270724 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:45:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 270724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: This is our issue. If I was younger, I might say 3... but if I really had a ton of money, I think I'd skip the third and travel with a nanny and both the girls!</p> <p>There's still an outside chance that we'll have a 3rd, but unlikely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270681 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 07:20:03 +0000 matador84 270681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd want at least a boy and a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270680 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 07:10:17 +0000 loveisstrange 270680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as now, 2 max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270673 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 06:28:09 +0000 Trailmix 270673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270651 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:52:39 +0000 looch 270651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Money isn't the issue for us, it's time and age. If I could turn back the clock and have met my husband 10 years earlier, we'd have more children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270638 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:21:56 +0000 BoogieBea 270638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still say two, but perhaps would have 1 or 2 more through adoption. I don't want to go through pregnancy again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270620 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:08:59 +0000 HLK208 270620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4!! I think that's the perfect amount so I could divide my attention up without it being stretched too thin. I probably wouldn't have a nanny, I'd just have my mom retire since she is the only person I can really trust with my LO's! I would also probably pamper myself more during pregnancy if I had quite a bit of money.<br /> Realistically, I would love to start trying for #3 in about 6 months but we need a bigger house and car before that can happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270582 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:55:22 +0000 banana 270582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3! boy girl girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-children-would-you-have-if-was-no-issue/page/2#post-270574 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:46:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 270574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gonna say, just 2, but if I could afford several nannies (and a baby nurse!) then probably 3. Boy, girl, boy! </p>
