Whenever I picture myself with kids, I think of having a bunch of boys. Knowing how the universe works, this probably means I will have 3 girls, haha. My poor DH. Whenever we talk about kiddos, I tease him and say I want 5 girls, and he always goes "nooo, I'll go broke paying for weddings!!"

Period. Children are unique. Same sex doesn't equal same child or experience. betsyboop on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168704 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:31:12 +0000 betsyboop 1168704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only if they were 3 girls! (no offense to moms of boys, boys are great too but I dont think I could handle 3 boys) bpcmarj on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168700 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:29:40 +0000 bpcmarj 1168700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My dream family is me and DH with 3 daughters. But, we are still deciding on if we will have #2! I think there may be some gender disappointment if we find out that we are having a son, so that's sort of why we are holding off...we want to get over that now! banana on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168692 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:28:18 +0000 banana 1168692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrs. wagon: EXACTLY!!!! mrs. wagon on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168691 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:27:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 1168691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I feel like I can't honestly answer this question because I feel I won the gender lottery by having exactly what I wanted... a boy first, then a girl. So my answer is "sure!" but I'm sure I'd feel differently if I had two boys or two girls!! pastemoo on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168658 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:22:39 +0000 pastemoo 1168658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, and since I already have a boy, I'd have to go with 3+ boys because I can't give up my little guy. I do want a daughter though. mrsmate on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168643 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:19:39 +0000 mrsmate 1168643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If I'm going to be totally honest with myself, if I KNEW that LO3 would be a 3rd girl, no I wouldn't do it.

We definitely would love to have a daughter, but even if we knew it was going to be a boy, we would still have at another one. artsyfartsy on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168333 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:46:33 +0000 artsyfartsy 1168333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want 4 or 5 kids. I've always wanted all girls but even if I found out thy would be all boys I would still have 4 or 5! deerylou on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168269 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:27:07 +0000 deerylou 1168269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Unless we win the lottery, our absolute maximum is three. I would looooove a son, but after having DD, I could probably do this two more times....and just ship myself off to the Bermuda triangle during the teen years. ;) plantains on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1168229 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:15:36 +0000 plantains 1168229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i only want two kids, but if I wanted three I think I would find 3 girls less intimidating than 3 boys.

I guess from knowing adorable families of three that fall into the category. Three boys sure sound like a handful though.

Though I would be more intimidated with 3+ boys. I grew up in a house with 5 girls, so I've got some experience there :) Cole on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167994 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:14:51 +0000 Cole 1167994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My thoughts might change at some point but right now I am only borderline on wanting 3 kids and if I knew they were going to be all one gender I would stop at two. I would love to have one of each and if we have two of one gender I could see us going for a third knowing that it is a gamble. blackbird on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167971 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:09:03 +0000 blackbird 1167971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. I still want 3 and if all 3 are girls, then so be it. I think it's very dangerous to bank on a certain gender for your last kid if you don't really want that many kids. autumnlove on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167858 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:36:33 +0000 autumnlove 1167858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want 3 kids and I already have 2 girls...totally open to a 3rd! mrsjyw on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167792 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:17:55 +0000 mrsjyw 1167792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We want 3 kids, so probably unless i had a really bad experience with pregnancy or labor with #2!, either gender! yellowbird on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167788 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:16:19 +0000 yellowbird 1167788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would like 3 girls... if they were all boys then probably not!

I woul love to have a boy. I think Mr. Jacks would prefer another girl. In adoption, though, boys are generally more available, so I think it wouldn't be hard to have a boy.

If I could only have boys though, I think I still would.

Ideally, I'd like the same mix as my mom had with us, two girls and then a boy. We'll see what LO #2 is in 15 weeks or so, another DD would put us right on track! :-) Koolbreeze on "If you knew you would have 3+ of all one sex, would you still want 3+ kids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-you-would-have-3-of-all-one-gender-would-you-still-want-3-kids#post-1167674 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:20:06 +0000 Koolbreeze 1167674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have 2 boys and if we decide to have a 3rd I would be so so happy to having another boy!!

She wanted a girl soooooooooo badly and had FIVE BOYS before she finally had a girl! And then she thought her luck had changed and ended up having TWO MORE BOYS! So even though I REALLY want a boy and a girl, I'm done after two!! I'd be too scared to keep trying for a different gender, haha.
