And a couple nannies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have/page/2#post-543077 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:44:21 +0000 mrs. bird 543077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4. But we'll probably end up with 2. We'd need a bigger house than the ones we're looking at to fit a family of 6 though, and I can only imagine how much food 4 teenagers would eat! The activities too, maybe if they wanted to learn the same instruments and play the same sports so they could share, but all that stuff adds up to a pretty penny! Money is def a big consideration for us, more so for when they get bigger </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-543039 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 04:20:04 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 543039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would still only have 3 or 4. He wants 2 but will settle on 3. I really want 4 but I guess I kinda need him for that last one. Looks like 3 it is! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-542897 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:59:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 542897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 or 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-542887 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:53:56 +0000 alayaya 542887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It isn't really a matter of money. We still would probably only want 1 or 2.... maaaaybe 3 if the first 2 are really really quiet. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-542860 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:40:49 +0000 luckypenny 542860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4!

Buying a house is fun! Where in NY are you looking to buy? I lived in NY for a year and loved it, my DH grew up on Long Island - he really misses it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-541931 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:01:28 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 541931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot! (I think). Would probably adopt a few! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-541901 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:58:34 +0000 KissMeCait 541901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Not right now. Probably a year or two (closer to a year). Our only hold up is buying a house and we'll be doing that this year, hopefully. After that, it's fair game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-541897 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:58:20 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 541897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4-6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-541871 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:55:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 541871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have 3 biological still - which is our plan... but then adopt a ton of babies!!! like 5!! And I'd buy a big house for all of them. It would be awesome. I would love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540457 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:22:37 +0000 sera_87 540457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>five plus, with a nanny. :)</p> <p>ETA: I have this thing with odd numbers, so it would be five, not six, seven, not eight. I'm just weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540439 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:20:42 +0000 SleepyMonkey 540439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 maybe 4.

I'd also have them close together, like 2 years! Finances are our main obstacle to having a 2nd kid. Wish they weren't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540392 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:13:32 +0000 PearlBee 540392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we decide to have kids, it'll be two. If we decide to have kids AND win the lottery, it'll still be two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540228 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:49:09 +0000 Arden 540228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would adopt as many special-needs kids as we could responsibly parent. Probably quite a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540212 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:47:15 +0000 BoogieBea 540212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still be done at 2.

MAYBE 2, but possibly just 1. It's not a matter of money for me, but a matter of patience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-won-the-lottery-how-many-kids-would-you-have#post-540162 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:40:37 +0000 mrsjazz 540162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have 3--one more biological and adopt another child. I have one currently and am still debating about number 2. </p>
