Financially, I think two children is a good number for our family, but DH would prefer up to 4. I've told him I'll consider more if one of us gets an excellent job opportunity in the future, or we end up moving somewhere with a lower cost of living. Definitely don't need to spoil the kids, but I'd prefer better home buying options, if we had a larger brood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905855 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 21:05:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 905855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know yet. He wants many. I don't know what I want. I can't say we're at a disagreement. It's more like: he knows what he wants and I have no idea. He might win if we have good kids. If we have wild ones, then we will not be having 5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905841 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 21:02:21 +0000 X0X0X0 905841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I did...he left it up to me to have 1 or 2. So we're now ttc for #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905504 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:23:24 +0000 boiledpnut 905504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: this is exactly us, except DH is pretty unhappy about me not wanting anymore. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905410 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:46:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 905410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Fox: This is us EXACTLY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905394 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:43:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 905394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Fox: mister jacks was adamant for 12 months. I kept saying how strongly I supported him, but when he changed his mind I was ready with a plan ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905359 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:33:49 +0000 mrs. 64 905359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wanted 1, I wanted 2-3, we are planing on 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905356 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:32:52 +0000 Mrs. Fox 905356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far DH is winning: I want a second one and he wants to stop. I told him and I meant it: "I'd rather have a happy marriage than a second child" -- but secretly I hope he'll change his mind... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905330 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:25:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 905330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He won...before we even got married. He only wanted one and his snip snip is already set! Maybe I can convince him to adopt later... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905302 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:12:15 +0000 Bookish 905302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll let you know in a year or two! Right now I'm one and done and he wants 2. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905270 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:50:30 +0000 nana87 905270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we both want 2 so that's not an issue (though I guess that could change down the road since we don't have any yet!). for timing, I guess he sort of won because I was ready before him, but then I ended up holding back a year to try because I realized I needed more time for my career. so when we started trying, we were both finally on board.</p> <p>haha that seems boring, neither of us won or lost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905261 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:46:39 +0000 Penny Lane 905261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we agree in that we're not making any plans on how many we want, other than planning to reassess after each is born</p> <p>he won when we started TTC in the first place, i wanted to wait a year after we got married, he wanted to try right away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905260 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 905260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won. He was one and done and I wanted two or three. Given my current age, two seems perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905246 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:40:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 905246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess he won.. for now. I wanted to wait longer to have kids - DH persuaded me!</p> <p>But he would likes lots of kids and I don't think I'll be persuaded to have more than 3... MAYBEEEEE four but I HIGHLY doubt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905185 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:17:15 +0000 heffalump 905185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't gotten there yet, but hell probably win. He wants two, I want three. But we will probably compromise at 2 and a dog.... Since our dog is also our baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905170 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:11:45 +0000 Cherrybee 905170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... I will let you know after number 2 because at the moment I want three and he wants two! I suspect he will win because his ideas are usually more firmly rooted in reality and practicality than mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905165 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:10:04 +0000 GrapeCrush 905165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess him? He was adamant only 2, I wanted 3. So we 'compromised' when we got pregnant with #2...we already have a boy so if #2 was a girl, we'd stop, if it was another boy...we'd reasses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905164 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:09:31 +0000 HLK208 905164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I *think* I'm winning as we are TTC for a third lol. DH held a newborn and got baby fever, bad. Also, he watched a show on abc called baby daddy, and kind of melted when he saw the baby on the show...</p> <p>One thing that didn't help was taking him into an expensive baby store and testing out uppababy strollers. That was a very cold shower for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905149 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:04:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 905149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both pretty much agree on family size (for now, at least)-- I said 2 or 3, he said 1 or 2, so... 2 it is. Our bigger disagreement was timing- I was ready to start trying a good 10 months or so before he was, but it was important that we were both gung ho, so I guess he "won" in that regards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905137 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:58:39 +0000 sarac 905137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess he 'won' in that I was ready and he wasn't. Luckily I didn't have to wait especially long for him to be ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905133 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:57:15 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 905133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I won but he wasn't hard to convince. We knew we would have two - just weren't planning on having them so close together! - but I always wanted 3. He's accepted we're having 3 and like @travellingbee: keeps talking about keeping things for "the next one" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905124 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:53:34 +0000 travellingbee 905124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always win. LOL. ;) He said one, I say 2. He's already started saying.... "the next one..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905123 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:53:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 905123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Lol! Hence my disclaimer! I just lurk and pretend, sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905115 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:50:41 +0000 LovelyPlum 905115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No disagreement here, but I want you to win, @FutureMrsMcK:! I damn near had a heart attack when u saw your name on the POAS thread!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905107 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:48:27 +0000 Mrs. Twine 905107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mr. T won. He won so we could have Lorelei (I didn't want more) and now he is winning that we are done. He just has stronger opinions in the matter, and since I'm more ambivalent he gets to be the winner. He lets me "win" plenty, too, so I can't complain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905105 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:46:47 +0000 autumnlove 905105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember. We both wanted 2 but I think we both decided we wanted 3 after our first LO was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-were-in-disagreement-about-your-family-plan#post-905092 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:42:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 905092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who "won"? Did you change your mind or did he? </p>
