My husband would be thrilled with 6 kids but not me! my mom was having kids for 20 years of her life! she is turning 50 next year and still has three at home!</p> <p>I think 3.. after actually giving birth, my husband is lucky if he gets that many!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-124299 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:27:22 +0000 Alivoo01 124299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sides had 2, and it aligns up with how many we want as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-124273 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:14:39 +0000 Chillybear 124273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both hubs and i have one sibling each. His mom is an only child and his dad has 1 sister. My mom has 3 sisters and my dad has 2 brothers and sister. So while i have 13 1st cousins that i see all the time, he has 2 that we see twice a year. </p> <p>My mom's theory is never have more kids than you have hands or don't let the kids out number the parents. I dont think my dad could have handled a third but my mom probably would have wanted one more. If she hadnt had so much difficulty conceiving my brother.</p> <p>I would like to have 3 kids and have them 3-4 years apart, hubs def wants two and said we'll see how it goes re: #3. </p> <p>I wish my brother and i were closer in age (9 years) like hubs and his brother (3 years) and I hope to stay close to my cousins so as we age and have families they can grow up like 1st cousins instead of 2nds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-124263 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:09:57 +0000 Minnie_Girl 124263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had 5 and his had 2.

We plan to have two. But if our earnings significantly increase we would entertain the idea of a third. But only if our first two are the same gender. If we get a boy and a girl in our first two shots we are definitely closing shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-123408 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 18:22:29 +0000 Rubies 123408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and in-laws both have two kids. I've always wanted 4! Hubs also wants a big family but I think realistically, we'll have 2. After our second, we'll see how things go and might entertain the idea of a third but I'm pretty sure we'll stick with two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-123399 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 18:16:18 +0000 katdevargas 123399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom had 2 (but wanted 5 or 6 I just found out {!}), my husbone is from a family with 3 kids.

DH thinks that 2 is enough and it is for our size of house, size of car, the college funds we've started...but if we run across money 2-3 years from now we might try for third and that would be our max. I just don't know if I can do another pregnancy haha (we'll see how labor/delivery go with #2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-versus-how-many-kids-do-you-plan-on-having#post-123088 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:18:28 +0000 Sweet T 123088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have 3 kids and DH's parents have 2.

Hubs's parents had 3 but that counts one who passed away before Hubs and his sister were born.

I think they would've had more but it took them a loooong time to have him.</p> <p>We want 3 kids. I knew I wanted more than one because I loved having a sister growing up. DH didn't mind being an only child because he loved playing by himself and being independent, but he also loved being a "mama's boy" lol. But he wanted more than one. I don't know- 3 just sounds like a good number to us. </p>
