All the grandparents would love for us to have more, but they respect our decision to only have one. Mostly, I think, because we have valid medical reasons not to risk another pregnancy. But I think it also helped that I blogged about the reasons we're one and done, so they really know where we're coming from.

Nope. My parents have 4 grandchildren once this one is born and my mom said they can't handle more, lol.

My parents are very much the kind of people who truly enjoy what they have, and would be so happy if we had another (but just as happy if we didn't). DH's mom already has 15 grandkids, so I seriously don't think she cares at all.

This isn't up for discussion with them.
My MIL seems to be in favor of it but she doesn't get a vote!

My parents haven't expressed an opinion except that my mom wants a granddaughter after three grandsons but I have two sisters who could also have a daughter. My in laws would like us to have another but think it's fine that we're waiting a few years. They help out so much and I know they will continue to help as long as they can.

We don't have any kids yet, so my parents are sure hoping we jump on that train soon! My mom wants all the babies. Haha. My SIL is expecting, so my MIL is off our case at this point.

My parents would like a lot more grandkids. MIL is ambivalent. She doesn't seem to like theoretical children but is very attached to the ones she has. She's been pretty negative during my pregnancies but then happy with the products.
I'll be having FIL's 21st grandchild in January. He's over it.

I'm having my mom's 7th and final grandchild. She's happy with the number. She knows there is no way I'm having a 4th kid.
My inlaws have 11 grandkids already and I'm pregnant with the 12th. I think they want as many as we give them. But they don't push.

I'm sure both would love more but there's no pressure. We're def having #2 anyway!

We have 2 lovely boys. I mean DS2 is only 4 months old. My mom thinks we need to go for the girl. I'm deliriously happy with my 2 boys and she's not paying for childcare.

There is an assumption we will have more but no one is pressuring us thankfully.

My mom would love more. My dad doesn't say anything. My ILs don't say anything, but I think they want more too

My parents don't mention it. They had 5, but each time they were going for a boy and ended up with all girls. My MIL has mentioned it because DH's fortune telling uncle predicted three kids. So far he has been spot on with his predictions, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try for a third.

My mom thinks her life is over that we're one and done. I don't know how the ILs feel about it.

Long story short my side of the family doesn't want me to have anymore. His side doesn't really care. SIL has 4 (youngest one just turned 1 last month) and asked since all the kids are in school now were we going to have another one. I really just want to focus on the kids I have now and enjoy the chaos i already have now. When things seem calm later in life my husband and i will try again.

They mind their own business. We both come from larger families though, so they'd be supportive and excited if we had more.

No, we've been pretty vocal about having 2, just had #2, and everyone seems happy with that!

My MIL made it very clear she didn't think we should have another one (currently pregnant with her unwanted grandchild), but it's not her business!
My mom supports how few or how many we have.
The dads don't care.
