DH says "3 with the possibility of a 4th, depending on who the third is" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391885 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 09:25:19 +0000 Tidybee 2391885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could handle 4 as long as they were spaced nicely (meaning one if not two school 5 days a week). I'd like 4 but DH can not be convinced to go past 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391742 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 08:07:09 +0000 Modern Daisy 2391742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsGeePerez: I felt the same way you did pp! It gets way easier with time so you might change your mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391740 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 08:04:53 +0000 Modern Daisy 2391740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we had a bigger house, could afford for me to stay home and keep them in daycare full time and sitters on the weekend and still go on nice vacations etc then maybe 3-4? The thought of that still kind of freaks me out though so maybe not.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391724 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:42:25 +0000 ms.line 2391724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. 3 is my nightmare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391722 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:40:07 +0000 MoreCoffee 2391722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In an ideal world with space, money, and outside support? I would say 4 - it's what I always wanted.</p> <p>In my actual world where I WOH and already feel spread thin? 2 might be pushing it...I guess we'll find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391718 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:35:04 +0000 travellingbee 2391718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. I can't handle being pregnant again and my DS gives us a run for our money. I would never want more than 2. If we ended up with 3 somehow in sure we'd survive... But barely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391697 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 06:40:49 +0000 MrsGeePerez 2391697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1! I'm only 8 weeks postpartum so maybe I'll change my mind later, but at this point I'm in awe of anyone with more than one child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391674 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 04:46:16 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2391674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 :happy: She's a handful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391671 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 04:01:07 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2391671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, definitely only 2. Still deciding on #2 right now. A friend from University just had her 5th and she is in absolute heaven...not my scene though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391634 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 01:07:40 +0000 anonysquire 2391634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-10. In my ideal world, I'd just be surrounded by my babies the rest of my life. A big pile of kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391535 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 21:34:13 +0000 Ms. RV 2391535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the mix! Four is my ideal number, six is his.. but we're too old/don't have enough money. But I would stop after #2 if it was a second girl. We both agree we would have a hard time handling three girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391533 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 21:30:57 +0000 Greentea 2391533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea. Will see how it goes. Definitely not an area I want to go overboard in!</p> <p>Conceptually maybe 4? Hard to say, right now we have 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391510 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 21:18:29 +0000 Purpledaisy 2391510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 4. That is my max. Planning on having 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391415 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 19:05:15 +0000 Alba4 2391415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we'll be done at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391411 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 18:58:41 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2391411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to be good with 2. If it was just babysitting? I can do 4 or 5 but all day every day including bedtime? 2 will do :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391386 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 18:29:52 +0000 petunia354 2391386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love 3 but realistically I sometimes struggle with my 1 so I'm going to guess my limit is 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391373 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 18:10:32 +0000 Tanjowen 2391373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is my max. I solo parent most of the time and have this rule that I shouldn't have more children than I have arms/hands to hold/wrangle them. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391366 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:54:58 +0000 DillonLion 2391366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One is plenty for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391363 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:51:59 +0000 gingerbebe 2391363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 in terms of physically carrying a baby. We are pretty sure we're done after LO2 arrives, (like I'm not getting pregnant again), but we've always been open to adoption so perhaps later on we might consider fostering or adopting an older child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391356 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:41:03 +0000 coopsmama 2391356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 or 5. Probably will be done at 3 or 4 due to finances though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391347 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:31:54 +0000 NavyRN2012 2391347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 probably. We're done at 3 though :bummed: It's really hard to find a house big enough for us now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391342 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:27:38 +0000 Ree723 2391342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three will be my max I think! Having a threenager and an early onset terrible twos right now is giving me a run for my money (SAHM here) - I'm hoping a lot of the crazy passes before baby #3 arrives in June or I'm pretty sure I am going to be absolute batshit crazy half the time! :silly: Regardless, three is our max regardless of circumstances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391339 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:23:11 +0000 Finfan 2391339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 2 (what we have now) but we could maybe do 3 if there was a big gap. I'm only 31 so maybe but I think we are done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391291 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:40:17 +0000 hony bologna 2391291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. I'm a SAHM to a high-need toddler who is still not sleeping through the night... I have no idea how I'd be able to handle more than two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391285 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:33:23 +0000 BSB 2391285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, my 3m twins are enough. I'll have to see in a few years, how I feel about a 3rd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391281 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:28:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2391281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could probably make 3 work but would have to make a lot of lifestyle changes. I actually don't think I could handle a third pregnancy with two little kids though! </p> <p>I say this while I anxiously await #2... Any day now would we great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391278 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:26:52 +0000 twodoghouse 2391278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being a SAHM to two is really hard some days! I don't know how I would get out of the house by myself with 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391274 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:24:30 +0000 lilyann 2391274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 is our max </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-do-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-2391236 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:00:14 +0000 artsyfartsy 2391236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took us a while to even come around to having a 2nd baby. Lol</p> <p>I never say never but I'm pretty sure 2 is my limit. </p>
