But to be totally fair- DH DID want a boy and has floated the idea of trying for a third. Which I have shut down for now. </p> <p>On the flip side, my mom had a boy, then girl, and when she was pregnant again she got loads of "but why would you want another? You already have a boy and a girl?" (I am that third pregnancy, thank you very much. :wink: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410248 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:33:30 +0000 Anagram 2410248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are telling everyone we're done, so I guess as soon as the word gets out, people will stop asking?</p> <p>A couple of people have made the comment about "But what about having a boy?" ( because we have two girls...grrr). I just say we love having two girls and are happy with our family as is. That last bit usually makes them feel a little bit sheepish, which is totally my intent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410236 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:23:53 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2410236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a week away from having #3 and I get asked about #4 regularly, at least once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410227 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:21:16 +0000 Alivoo01 2410227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're currently pregnant with #2 who is the opposite gender of #1; and from the moment ppl knew they were opposites, we get the "y'all are done now right??" or "are y'all going to have more?" Really people! how about we wait and see after #2 arrives. Sheesh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410218 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:17:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2410218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I tell them that DH got snipped ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410181 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:37:07 +0000 looch 2410181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People still ask, my son is 5, but I think it's because he's an only child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410166 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:26:19 +0000 cascademom 2410166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with our second boy, I got tons of comments about trying for a girl-a third kid. I said that two's our limit. The comments have become a lot less since he's here. I made it clear to some friends that we were done by giving away maternity clothes and whatever baby gear didn't travel with us to our new house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410162 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:21:44 +0000 skipra 2410162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found that people asked more while I was pregnant with #2 than since he's been born. I've had a few people ask if we'd try again for a girl but I just brush it off and say we were hoping for boys anyway and I probably couldn't handle a girl. I don't think anyone expects us to have more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410156 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:16:59 +0000 kodybear 2410156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after having a girl then a boy people rarely ask. i guess they assume since we have one of each we're done (and we are). occasionaly i'll get asked about a 3rd but usually from another mom who is in the same position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410154 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:14:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2410154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 months pregnant with #2 and people are already asking me when I'm going to have #3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410143 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:06:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2410143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually didn't get a lot of questions in between them- we were open about planning on having another and people generally didn't ask when too much (aside from people I am close enough to actually want to talk about it with). </p> <p>Now that we have two girls, I've gotten plenty of random people tell me we would have to try for a boy, but not many people we actually know. Again, the only people who have asked are people I don't mind it from, usually because they are in similar situations (like a friend who was on the fence about having a third of her second would have been a girl, for example). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-people-stop-asking-if-you-were-having-more-kids#post-2410137 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 13:02:41 +0000 Bao 2410137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After LO1 was born we got a TON of questions about when we were going to have another LO. Luckily for us (since the questions did get old) we had our kids just 1.5 apart. After LO2 was born the questions/curiosity just kept coming. Probably even more so than after LO1. Everyone pulled the "but you have two girls, you need a boy" card... I think after a year or so they finally slowed down, and I think now almost another year later they stopped from family/friends when we made it clear we were done done done. </p> <p>When did people stop asking you if you were having more kids? </p>
