I dunno, I feel like it's really important for a girl to have a sister in my humble opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-43028 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:33:21 +0000 s2kheartmustang 43028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have 4 kids but we will most likely only have 2.<br /> We both come from large families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-43010 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:23:10 +0000 tequiero21 43010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cost is not really a factor in us wanting kids. if we had a choice, i think 3 would be ideal, but 2 is good. 4 is too many for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42959 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:50:09 +0000 heffalump 42959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My instinct would be to say I want tons of kids, but my logical husband would tell me it's too much to handle. So 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42936 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:13:49 +0000 cyndistar3 42936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, I think I would want three either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42933 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:11:04 +0000 MegWag 42933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could totally see myself with a whole mess of kids. I could go to 4 or 5, I think! In reality, I doubt we'd go for more than 2 (though we might do 3). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42929 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:08:14 +0000 momentspassslow 42929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank goodness @Witz said 4-5 ... I'm totally a fiver! I know, I'm crazy! I would love to have three kids fairly close together and then wait a few years and have twins! Specifically a boy and a girl (Since, you know, I can totally determine those things in advance - haha!)</p> <p>I know it's crazy but I grew up with a few friends who came from big families and I always loved watching the dynamic. They always had someone to play with even when they were at home!</p> <p>I think my husband will only go for 3 in the real world, though. Bummer. ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42918 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:40:56 +0000 Rosie Girl 42918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 3 or 4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42873 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:20:09 +0000 Witz 42873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to have 4-5 children, although helping them pay for college would be really difficult with that many (is college included in the "cost of raising kids" assumption??). I have 2 siblings and a whole bunch of cousins - I just love big families! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42869 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:16:27 +0000 cyneswith 42869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still two. Though if cost wasn't an issue, we may end up adopting a whole soccer team... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42867 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:15:52 +0000 MamaG 42867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two! Two isn't completely out of the question for us, we are just trying to figure out how to afford daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42865 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:13:24 +0000 sera_87 42865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like even numbers, so I'd like 5 or 7. (yes, I know, I'm odd). If everything goes okay, we're already planning on having 3, which is why I said 5 or 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42728 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:49:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 42728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want anywhere between 3 and 5 (maybe even 6) if money wasn't an object. I love big families but also love being able to take vacations, save for college, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42690 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:29:47 +0000 banana 42690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd still just want 2. I don't think I can handle more than that. I admire parents who are able to raise lots of children (3+). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42583 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:39:14 +0000 autumnlove 42583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want 4 kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42570 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:25:58 +0000 SAHM0811 42570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd want 4.

I don't like the idea of more kids than parents -- then they could gang up on us! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-cost-of-kidschildcare-were-taken-care-of-how-many-children-would-you-want-to-have#post-42512 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:52:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 42512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd still want two because two is a lot to handle. But if I did want more, I'd want 4 instead of 3 so that there would be no middle child and there'd be two older kids and two younger kids. I could see a full house like that being fun, but I'm just not up for the challenge!</p> <p>If you didn't have to worry about the cost of raising kids, how many would you have vs. how many are you planning on having now? </p>
