It's hard for me to think about it because I'm the one who wants more kids than DH. I think if I didn't want more because of my awful pregnancies, I'd say no or we could adopt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173270 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:30:48 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 173270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if anything we'll have the opposite problem- me wanting more kids than DH. It is something I would consider. We're taking it one kid at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173213 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:11:51 +0000 Minnie_Girl 173213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173198 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:07:49 +0000 sulli301 173198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have this problem, but I might consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173192 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:06:31 +0000 Boogs 173192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birth scared me too much, so I would really put my foot down. Luckily we are on the same page of we will take kids one at a time with a little time in between to discuss and think about what to do next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173191 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:06:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 173191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173184 Wed, 30 May 2012 10:04:20 +0000 cyneswith 173184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be "let's wait and see." A friend's husband wanted 7. She wanted 4. They got to two and both went "hell no!" They ended up with three, and they're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173122 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:34:46 +0000 hilsy85 173122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh does want more kids than I do...he wants 4 or 5, whereas I feel that 2 or 3 would be ideal. I figure we'll cross that bridge when we come to it--2 or 3 kids still seems like a looong ways off! And so many things can change--I think once he experiences baby related sleep deprivation, he might change his mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173118 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:29:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 173118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it because I feel like marriage is about compromise. I'd like to think that he would consider having less for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173091 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:10:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 173091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would consider it. Although if I were adamant on stopping, we probably would not really consider having more. Luckily we don't have this problem... we're both pretty set on stopping after 2. We have seen our limits and we know them well. :) But neither of us are opposed to more children... it's just a lack of time, energy, and resources! If we get bored and rich and have a lot of help around, maybe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173084 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:04:38 +0000 mrbee 173084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: Bee is not pregnant. Just making conversation for the boards! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173081 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:03:11 +0000 Adira 173081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily Hubs and I both want two kids, but if he wanted more, I would consider it. If it was something like I wanted 2 and he wanted 4, I think a good compromise would be having 3, or something like that. It also might depend on the genders of our children. Like if we had two and they were both boys or both girls, I might be more inclined to have another in hopes of having the other gender. If we already had a boy and a girl, hopefully Hubs might be willing to settle for what we have.</p> <p>But I would definitely consider his wishes. We're financially well off and would be able to support more than two children, so if he wanted more, I would definitely think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173080 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:02:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 173080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always said 2 kids, however when DH found out this LO was a girl, he decided he wanted to add the clause "if 2 girls, we can try for a 3rd." I agreed to a discussion of it if that happens, but it is not a for sure thing. I want to see how 2 kids goes, and how old I am getting by that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173077 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:01:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 173077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I think its all about what a couple can handle! If one thinks they want 3-4 and the other only wants 1-2.....I would be concerned that the one wanting only 1-2 would be completely overwhelmed. </p> <p>I think it's important to discuss children before getting married. No matter what though, it's always something that can be figured out!</p> <p>Nowe myself.....I would have never thought that I would want 4 children, but after DH and I discussed (he wants a large family) I'm all for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173072 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:59:12 +0000 Nskillet 173072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs Bee and you have been posting several # of kids posts lately, trying to tell us something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173067 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:56:51 +0000 Rubies 173067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely consider it but in our situation, I'm likely to be the one to want more kids than my husband. I think he would consider it, too, but like you, he would want to wait for the kids to become easier to handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173066 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:56:50 +0000 chopsuey 173066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe. Luckily we don't have this problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-wanted-more-kids-than-you-would-you-consider-it#post-173062 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:53:51 +0000 mrbee 173062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who wants 4 kids, but her partner wants only 2... that's a pretty big difference.</p> <p>If I were in that position, would I consider having more kids? Gosh, I don't know. I guess it would depend on how much I loved my wife. (Just kidding, honey!) I guess I would defer the question until the kids have gotten a lot easier and I'm in a better place to consider it...</p> <p>If your SO wanted more kids than you, would you consider it? </p>
