I can't envision that for myself after watching what my brother goes through with twins and a daughter. A couple friends from high school have 4 kids which seems mind blowing to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1781290 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:32:50 +0000 cyndistar3 1781290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the average here is 2-4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1781173 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:58:29 +0000 rachiecakes 1781173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my friends are 'one and done'.

I know a lot of people with 3 kids, but most of the time, their 3rd was an oopsie baby. That kind of terrifies me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1780949 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:54:59 +0000 MamaBehr 1780949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it's 2ish. I know a few families that have three (like I do), but a lot of the families I know are just starting out. Most have on kid who is 18 months old or younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1780929 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:51:44 +0000 anandam 1780929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most I see have 2, occasionally 3, rarely more. Friends mostly want/have 1 or 2. We hope for more like 4 (+?). I was raised one of 3 and DH was one of 2, both sets of parents say they wish they'd had another, so that probably influences us. We also don't buy into the overpopulation stuff, so that makes a difference in that we don't think big families are irresponsible. And my family is Catholic, so we're used to seeing people manage with truckloads of kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1780927 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:51:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 1780927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 growing up was pretty standard<br /> 2-3 is more standard now with my friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-family-size-where-you-live#post-1780904 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:47:04 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1780904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2.
