How many kids did you want before you had kids? How many do you want now? How many do you have now? What about your SO?
I'll start!
I wanted 3 or 4. Hubby wanted enough for a baseball team. 🙄
I still want 3 or 4 but I'm leaning more torward 4 or 5. Hubby wants to be done by the time he turns 30 so that gives us less than 4 years. He still wants a baseball team. (Btw if your wondering, he doesn't even watch baseball. 😅)
We have one miracle baby and I am chomping at the bit to have another.
I have 4 kids. I was happy with 3 but was blessed with another and we are done
I wanted 0.
I was surprised with 1 and I want two.
Husband agrees on two also! I’d like twins also!
I think twins would be so fun! I keep finding myself almost hoping the next ones are twins and then I'm like well, what if they are as needy as number 1? I would never sleep, eat or blink again lol.
We both wanted 3 or 4. Then after my son we thought maybe 2. But this one is a boy, so I'm pretty set on 3 now and my husband knows I'm not going to feel like our family is complete until we have a daughter, so he's on board with what I want. We aren't sure if we want to try adoption or pregnancy for her. We will cross that bridge when it comes time.
That being said, pretty sure after we get our daughter he is literally going to jump under the knife to get snipped. 😂
😂 my husbands like let's have ALL the babies and I'm like who's the one that has to go through the csections here? 🤔
We both wanted just 2. But when we found out we were having a second girl we kind of put getting fixed on the back burner. Now we’re considering a 3rd when the second is 3-4. We really want a boy
Haha I told my husband I wanted to do at least 3 and if the next 2 are boys we should try a 4th time for a girl! My sister had 4 girls, waited a few years and then got her boy!
Always wanted 2. Hoping it would be a boy and a girl. Husband agrees. So we are working on making baby #2 now. We don’t want to be outnumbered lol now if we don’t have one of each gender I may talk husband into one more try!
Sending you baby dust momma! Good luck on a little boy. 💙 they will melt your heart.
I wanted a whole football team and my husband wanted 4. Right now we're agreed on 4 but leaving the future open to more. (Possible fostering and fostering to adopt) We've been pregnant 6 times in the 6 years we have been married. I didn't think I would want to try again after our third loss. But something my doctor said made me feel it was ok to. And I am so glad I did. Now my husband has left it up to me to choose if I want to biologically have another child or adopt. We decided after our first two pregnancies were losses that we wanted to adopt at some point no matter what happened. And I still want to. I also absolutely love being pregnant. So I am trying to get hubby on board with me possibly becoming a surrogate. Its a tough decision but I know I want to be pregnant again in the future.
Weve been talking about fostering too! I'm just not sure if I would be ok for it or not (like relating to them, keeping them entertained when I don't know them, ect.) I LOVED being pregnant also. We tried for over 3.5 years so maybe that's the reason? 🤔😅
I wanted 4 maximum 2 girls & 2 boys and my husband wants none. We have 1 and expecting another daughter
@mccartymchs Only if i could choose the gender then yeah! But no more gurls for me they already stole the daddy from mommy lol
@eimandin Haha little girls definitely love their daddy but my little boy ADORES his mommy. There are "methods" out there for swinging to a certain gender. I'm not saying they 100% work but theres still hope!
I wanted 4 kids. Now I want 2. My husband wanted 5 kids. Now he wants 2.
@mccartymchs, So many reasons! We’re just ready to leave the baby phase in the past and start going on fun vacations and adventures with our two kiddos. Four feels perfect. We’re not outnumbered! If we had another kid, we’d need a bigger car. Also, my husband works 70 hours a week in the spring, summer, and fall and travels for weeks at a time so it’s basically just me running the household all alone. It’s really hard. And most of all, I feel like I can effectively give two kids what they need. If I had any more I’d feel stretched too thin and I know I’d feel like I’d be neglecting one at all times. Or neglecting myself. If we do end up pregnant again, we won’t be too upset because we really do love kids and can afford more and have a big enough house but we’re definitely not going to try for more. I’m 27 and I want to be done having kids by the time I’m 30. :)
We both had agreed on no kids, we had my daughter and she makes us very happy, and as of now we’re discussing a possibility of 1 more but im still not sure, my daughter has my heart and I’m nervous about another baby 🤪
I'm like how could I love anyone else the same that I do you? Haha! But i hated being an only child. As an adult it still sucks because I dont have anyone I got to grow up with, my kids dont have aunts/uncles or cousins to grow up with. But that bond is incredible when theres just one. It's a hard decision!
@mccartymchs, yes that’s exactly the only reason why I’d have another child, I have such a strong bond and great memories with my sisters that I’d hate to deprive my daughter from having the same relationship it’s tough !
@p0790 it really is! You just have to really ask yourself if that's what you want or not. We were tempted on not having more because of our sons medical stuff. We decided we want at least one and IF they have the same medical stuff then we will stop there even if we still wanted more.
I want 3 kids🤗
Hubby wants 3 or 4
I also want to be done having kids by at least 30 31 and get him sniped ✂️cause I ain’t doing hormone birth control again.. I’m so ready to have my second already but we are currently in the process of buying a house so once we are settled I hope to get pregnant soon🙏🏼
I'm ready to have my next one too. Like past ready Haha! We just have to get our first little through his surgeries and then we can start trying again! 😍
i wanted 0 until i finally met my husband. then i decided 1 was perfect for me. i have 1, and i’m done. he’s come to accept the fact that i’m not having more. 😂
Awe! I'm an only child and although I got ALL the attention I really didnt like not having someone to play with or tell my secrets too and stuff. So I always just thought I'd want more than one. Right now I love having just one so I could see where your coming from!
I wanted none for as long as I can remember, had one...am good with the one.
