Aloha Friday: # of Kids
>> 1/29/2010
Question: Do you and your spouse agree on how many children you want to have?
I would like to have at least 3 biological children and possibly adopt some more. Hubby is thinking more along the lines of 2 biological and then adoption. Just recently we (HE) decided to purchase a second vehicle so I wouldn't be stuck at home all day. The agreement was that if he bought the car he had to give me 3 biological children (if that was the decision I made)...we will see if he follows through with that!

We have 3 ages 12, 9 1/2 and almost 8. We agreed after our 3rd that we were done. If we had the money though I would adopt a child in a heartbeat! Happy Aloha Friday! Mine is up over at http://spiceworld.us
Yes! We agreed after the twins were born (making child number 2 & 3) that our family was complete. They are now 17, 15, and 15 and we have never regretted it.
We never really talked about it. But we a blessed to have one Adopted child.
Here's my Aloha Friday link for you
yes and no--we currently have 2 and we both want more, however our youngest is 3 1/2. I am ready right now for #3 and he isn't yet :)
Yes and we are done! lol
We have three daughters and we definitely want more. If the next is a girl we might be done. It's just not something we can say for sure until we're in that place. But if we had a boy next my husband wants TWO boys so unless it's a set of twins we may be looking at possible 5 children. That would make me incredibly happy! Being a mother is all I've ever wanted and I love it.
We didn't discuss how many and a cut off point, but dh knows that I'd like at least 3 biological children and adopt 2 or 3 also.
I wanted to had the adopted children in between my children so they all grew up together as siblings and not feel left out, but somehow we aren't getting there fast enough.
I think it's one of those things that you can't truely decide until you are there. I always wanted 3 kids, but after my second was born, my family just felt complete. My husband and I both agree that we are done in the baby making department. I'm so thankful that we are on the same page. We know many couples who have many agruements about this issue.
I am 50/50 on the whole number of kids thing. We just have a 15 month old and at times it seems like, really? Do this again? Are you crazy? The 28 hours of labor, subsequent emergency C Section, subsequent hernia surgery, struggles with breastfeeding, which have now manifested into a breastfeeding toddler who isn't quite ready to quit, and of the course the issue that we waited until I was 29 to have her means that we are pressed for time, however, I REALLY do not want 2 in diapers. If I had known every single thing I tried to springboard a career would fail dismally, I might have gone ahead and started having kids years ago, however, we are much more mature now, and just finally in a stable financial place to start building a house, because the apartment living is killing me... so I guess maybe I'm the only person in the world who thinks they just aren't sure? Maybe when my kid isn't woken up 3 times a night and during every nap from the neighbors, I'll think that it's a good idea? Right now, I'm stressed to the max and feel like a dismal failure. I love my girl and I wouldn't trade staying at home with her for anything, but as far as how many more? I think it would be up to how long my brains hold out and don't rot!
Yes, we both agree that we are happy with two children. If we had a bigger house and things were different we may have considered more, but we can comfortably live/vacation with the family size we have.
First, we just want two and God send me twins but, now I want one more and he agree. Let's see what's happen.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Have a nice weekend.
Yes we agreed. We have 2 and are planning on not having more.
Yes but a lot of good that did us. We planned on 2 but now we have 3. LOL!

Matt and I only have one so far, but we both still agree on at least 3. When we get to that point, I think we will reevaluate and see how we are feeling. As of right now, I think 3, maybe 4. Matt thinks just 3.
