DO You & Your Partner Have 2 Different Ideas On How...?

Question

Many kids you would like to have ???

My Husband, who I love very much, only wants about a 100. Yes, I am sure he has some rocks in his heads too. lol!

We settled on 5 some time ago, but with our recent adoption we have 5 beautiful wonderful sons. And he is very much trying to talk me into another child. I am sure if he was the one pregnant, and in labour, he'd have different ideas. lol!!

Do you and your significant other have the same or different ideas on how many kids you would like?

Answer 1

yes i want 4-5 kids and she only wants 2, its weird coz im the guy and normally its the other way around but i grew up in a big family and loved it so yeah haha.

Answer 2

b4 we even were serious [only after about a week of knowing eachother] we agreed we both wanted 3,,,, ash came as the massivest surprise and we cant beleive we even settled for 3,, she brings us so much joy , we love her so much

so now we have 4 we both r rapt,,, though we occasionally talk about having another,,,, but theres no way i will do it without protection now, im so scared, id go insane if i had more, as the 2 oldest get older its getting hard,, mitch is demanding and casey wants her freedom, its hard! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Answer 3

To a point yes.  I would like to keep the possibility open to having one more a long way down the line, but my husband is pretty sure we are done with two.  I'm still undecided on a third, but I'd like to keep it a possibility.  But I'm like you....until they've labored and delivered a baby, then maybe they need to think of how it is for us women! :)  It's hard work to carry a baby for nine months and then give birth and care for your new infant all while recovering from the birth and having ungodly amounts of hormones raging in your system.  

Answer 4

We did have the same opinions all along, we both wanted 4.

However with brodie, when I was 36 weeks pregnant I started hemorrhaging quite badly, grant was home and witnessed it all. It really scared him. I have a rare low blood pressure disorder, so am not a good candidate for a hemorrhage.

Anyway, I was taken to hospital by ambulance and given an emergency Cesarean. I wasn't well after it, either was Brodie, so we were both very lucky!

After that Grant refused to consider any more. He went out and got a vasectomy, even though I didn't want him to!  Needless to say we don't agree anymore. I wanted a 4th, he didn't. Well, maybe he does but isn't wanting to risk having another.

Answer 5

We have different views on how many kids I'm going to give birth to. This is the last one, our second child, I say we want more, we will adopt but he wants me to give birth.

It's not going to happen, I don't care, I get too sick all 9 months and never want to do it again.

It's my body so I get the final say.

Answer 6

Not really.

This is my second marriage and I had 4 with my first husband who are aged 15,12,9 & 8 and then we have a 2.5 year old together and I am 28 weeks pregnant.

I am adament that I will not have anymore after this one. I actually had to have my tubes undone when we got married to even have more children with him.

My husband would probably go again if I gave him the slightest bit of encouragement, and he tries to make little bets with me, where if I lose I have another baby. But 6 is enough for me. Well and truly. And my husband accepts this - he has seen what I go through and I miscarried twice between this pregnancy and the 2.5 year old so it is alot of heartache too!

The only thing we do know for sure that if an "accident" were to happen that we would still have the baby. No matter what.
