My husband's parents don't ever mention it. My parents would definitely like us to have more. They have told us they would help us with the first year of childcare we want to have another. That hasn't swayed us.
-
My mom wants us to have all the babies!!! She loves them (and helps take care of them!)
But realistically I think she says one more, because she always wanted a third (and I always wanted another sibling).MIL "wants a girl"
Both dads don't say anything and my dad actually prefers that I'm done with pregnancy/labor!
-
I don't think they care
Both sides have loads of grandkids and more on the way so they don't need us to up the numbers.
-
Kind of taboo to mention in my extended family!
-
Well of course. They never come right out and say anything to us about it. But they would be on board for us to have all the grand babies.
-
My inlaws were keen for us to have another... but they help out a lot so I didn't mind them bringing it up!
-
My parents definitely want us to have another, especially after our loss a few weeks ago. I think we're still going to try for #2 but need to take some time before we try again. DH's parents aren't allowed to have an opinion because they show no interest in our lives!
-
My family thinks we're done since we already have DS and I'm currently pregnant with DD.
My in laws really wanted a girl too, but haven't said anything about us being done.
We're open to a 3rd right now depending on how things go with this one so we'll see!
-
My mom couldn't care less. I don't think she enjoys being a grandmother.
My dad thinks one is perfect, he said having two was really hard because we constantly fought.
MIL wants us to have all the babies! She doesn't live close enough to help though
-
I think they thought I'd have more than one, but they'd never say anything about it.
-
If they do they haven't said anything about it. They know we're done, though, and have been totally supportive.
-
My mom desperately wants us to have more and she tells me this constantly. I just laugh at her. ILs don't push it, but I think they want us to have more. Recently we were talking about getting rid of all our baby things and MIL offered to store things for us "just in case." I had baby fever for a hot minute a couple months ago but I'm back to resolutely two and through.
-
Well, I'm preganant, and they know we're done after this little buddy and I think they are good with that. They likely would have been a little sad if we only had one but would have never said anything about it.
-
My dad would have preferred me done at two. He is scared when I'm pregnant. Mom is supportive regardless. MIL wants us to continue having kids. FIL doesn't care. We are solidly 100% done at 3.
-
Mine know we would like to have more, so they don't really bring it up. But DS is only 4 months old, so that might change as he gets older. My extended family, almost as a pun, always are asking when we are going to have more. It's a little annoying. But isn't anymore annoying then when I got married and everyone wanted to know when we were going to start having babies.
-
my ILs always reference having a third. my mom has also said "well, you never know how you'll feel. it's so soon" ...nope. dunzo!
-
I don't think any of them would ever say anything but I know that everyone expects us to have two. We just lost a pregnancy that would have been LO2 last week so I know they are all hoping that we try again soon. They were very excited for #2.
-
Not anymore, but when we were fairly sure we were done at one we got a lot of criticism from a lot of family members...lots of comments about how selfish we were being
-
Yes. They all want us to have at least 2 kids.
-
No, they all think 2 is enough!
-
I definitely think they would love more grandkids. My IL's have made comments about "another", but otherwise they do support our decision either way.
I get a LOT of comments about having another one from everyone at our daycare.
-
They want us to have a girl, because obviously we can just make that happen.
-
They wouldn't mind us having more (and keep in mind we're already at 2.5) but they want us to have a few things in place first beforehand. Which I totally agree with so no battles there!
-
Yes, they want another grandchild from us!
-
My mom keeps hinting at another. No, mom, no!
-
My FIL begged us to not have an only child and we told him we didn't want another for a while. He'll be pretty excited when he finds out there's another on the way. My folks are too far away for me to really know.
-
My mom would want us to have a bunch. My dad has told us to stop at two. MIL is excited because we plan on having more. *shrug* I'm open that we aren't done at two.
-
My brothers think we're crazy for considering a third. My mom thinks we should have a third, but only if it's a boy. 🙄 Don't ask.
My inlaws don't care but joke that we should have a dozen kids.
-
Yes. Like 4 more.
-
I'm sure our parents would be thrilled if we had more, but everyone knows we're done at two!
-
My family really has only encouraged us to have an only child. Maybe because I'm an only child and so is my dad? They think we are CRAZY for wanting 3-4. And #2 is on the way, so there goes the only child thing
-
No way. They saw how sick I was with the first, and didn't even think I should go for our second, which I did, and was even sicker. No one thinks I should be pregnant again, including me. They also have commented about the expense of more, as a deterrent, but that wouldn't have stopped us if we wanted more in our hearts.
-
My mom would like us to populate our own village. My mother inlaw has seen LO less than a handful of times since birth (almost 4mo) and lives 25 min away... And he is her only grandchild.. So I don't think she cares much!
-
Yes, but they understand why we aren't. The ILs, yes but would never say it to my face.
-
I don't know about DH's parents, but my mom says she just knows we'll have another one. lol. We might, you never know!
-
My brother is pretty adamant that he's not having kids, and I know my parents would like more than one grandbaby, so I know they'd like us to have another. They don't push the issue, though. On DH's side, his brother has infant twins and they were staying with DH's dad for awhile (they live abroad but had a lot of time off in the summer so went home for a few months). So I think FIL is pretty babied out right now, haha.
-
I think so! My mom thinks we should stop at 2 (she has 3!!) lol. But we will go for 3-4. They all know that so haven't said much about it.
-
My parents think the more the merrier. My MIL has said several times that 2 is an ideal number. Both sets have told us multiple times that we should have more than 1 kid and are pretty adamant about it.
-
Yes! They say we can't stop at 2.
-
They are kind enough to say nothing on my side. Fil says nothing. Mil wants all the grand babies, more more more.
But realistically I think she says one more, because she always wanted a third (and I always wanted another sibling).
