Sometimes I think I would enjoy a whole orphanage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-1090729 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:41:11 +0000 Vegmama 1090729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: We want 1 or 2, but I think we could handle 3 or 4. I say this now, with not having ANY kids, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle/page/2#post-1089558 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:43:32 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 1089558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 2, but not close together in age. Right now, one for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1089536 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:39:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1089536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could handle 3, but I think I'm good with 2. I don't think the kids would be a problem, daycare cost on the otherhand would kill us. I would say 3 only if I get to stay home ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1089472 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:26:22 +0000 swurlygurl 1089472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot? I want 4 kids, but am only stopping at 4 for practical reasons.<br /> I say that now, but I only have 1, so I could be wrong ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1089264 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:20:52 +0000 blackbird 1089264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends what your definition of "handle" is, ha. Four is our absolute max. And that's if we have 3 girls, we'd adopt a 4th (a boy). I think spacing is key! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1089245 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:09:44 +0000 sumer08 1089245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 2 will be our max! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088992 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:59:49 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1088992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish my husband wanted a big family sometimes because I would love to have 3 or more but it's looking like 2 will be his max. Two is great though. I think it will be a wonderful family size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088982 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:36:10 +0000 StbHisMrs 1088982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3, I don't do well when the girls are here! We don't leave the house, I can't take 5 kids with 1 being a newborn and 1 being nearly 2 out into public by myself!! After the car ride home from picking the girls up this weekend I seriously thought gouging my eyes out would be better. Does that make me a bad person? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088976 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:28:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1088976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends--is money a factor?</p> <p>If money was not a factor--4 or 5.</p> <p>But, since in reality money is a MAJOR factor, our plan is to see how things go after these 2. If 5 years from now we feel like we are in a financial position to afford more, we will add 2 more into the mix.</p> <p>I come from a huge family. I heart chaos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088975 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:25:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1088975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot :) I'm good with kids and come from a big family. We all played together all the time so once we were 2-3 years old+ she had to do so little! Haha. I used to want 8 kids! I don't anymore, but if for some crazy reason that happened (maybe quintuplets when we go for #3 ;) I think I could handle it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088926 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 22:16:47 +0000 Mrs. Train 1088926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't know how many I could handle. I probably could handle a few more but I don't know if that's really ever going to happen. DH is pretty much maxed out at the four we have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088913 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:58:34 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1088913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably only two. I've nannied for a three child family and it was pretty insane. I'm not sure my body could handle being pregnant more than once so I've gotten comfortable with the idea of just one baby but I wouldn't be opposed to having two at once :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088801 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:57:36 +0000 sslm 1088801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3... Which is what we're thinking we'll have, although we are taking it one at a time!! Number 1 hasn't scared us off of 2, when the time comes we'll see if number 2 scares us off of having 3 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088755 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:37:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 1088755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. I'd never want us to be outnumbered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088743 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:31:00 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1088743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should say we could do more than two, but affording college for three would be daunting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088725 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:22:50 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1088725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 is when we're stopping but we could probably handle four. Five would be our max in terms of house space but three is my personal max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088723 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:21:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 1088723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 2. Any more than that is terrifying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088693 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:07:58 +0000 Cole 1088693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I could happily raise 4 kids but I think I will be happier sticking with 2 or 3. I am sure I could *handle* more than 4 but I am not sure I would enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088675 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:58:28 +0000 mrs. bird 1088675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with a bottomless bank account, 4 or 5. but they'd have be close together since i'm pushing 30 and haven't started yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088672 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:56:55 +0000 MrsF 1088672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the newborn phase I felt like I could hardly handle one. Hopefully we will have 2 or 3 but I'm definitely nervous about the possibility of adding more kids to the mix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088645 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:42:45 +0000 matador84 1088645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think quite a few! I grew up around a large family and was always left alone with the kids at a young age. I would love 4, but stopping at 2 most likely for several reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088629 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:34:12 +0000 NavyRN2012 1088629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 is my max, and I think we'll end up with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088618 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:26:06 +0000 chopsuey 1088618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how old they are.<br /> It's always tough juggling toddlers and a newborn/infant!<br /> I could handle 3-4, but we're stopping at 2. Don't wanna spread myself any thinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-you-think-you-could-handle#post-1088617 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:25:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1088617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 ha!
