POLL: For YOU, how many kids are too many?
Forgetting about timing issues, after how many kids would an unwanted pregnancy make you sit down and cry?
For me, 4 is too many. I want three, but if I would get pregnant with twins next time, I would cry A LOT. If I get pregnant after my third, I'll probably hide under rmy bed crying for like a month.
Re: POLL: For YOU, how many kids are too many?
Updated September 2012.
Three
I just can not entertain the idea of having a third. I think H will have the snip snip before the end of the year. And I have already posted my plans to use like 7 different forms of BC in the mean time lol.
Right now, I say two. lol
Okay seriously, four for me also. We'll probably stop after two, but I think I'd be okay with three if it happened.
I have no idea. Right now one is enough, and if we weren't trying and I found out I was pg, I might be upset. But I'm not sure if we are going to try to have another or not, so I don't really know!
I don't think I want more than 2 .. Maybe. Lol.
I have too many now, lol.
I think three children in two years was too many.
I think one and then three years down the road another would have been super easy. But this is challenging.
I would probably cry if faced with an unplanned pregnancy no matter the time frame.
The plan now is four kids. But, if I found out I was pregnant tomorrow, I would be upset.
I cried when I found out I was pregnant with my first. It wasn't a part of my plan at the time.
I don't want anymore children so I would cry if I got pregnant again.
Three.
We're done with one but if I accidentally got pregnant, I'd be happy because I go back and forth about this even though we're pretty set on one.
Three though.... I'm just not that mom. I wish I were, but I'm not that patient.

Three.
Though right now, One would be my answer.
I can honestly say that I don't think that I would sit down and cry about any number.
5 is too many kids, I don't WANT 5, we will take measures to prevent having any more than 3 or 4, but I wouldn't cry.
For me (and this is NOT a judgment towards anyone else, do what you want, I'm cool with that) I think any life is a miracle and if it were to happen to us, I feel that there would be a reason for it.
We're good with 4 and like the idea of a large family.
BUT if I had more than one at a time, it would be a lot to handle. Like, this time around, twins would have been financially devastating.
Right now? 4 is too many. We're stopping at 2 because of my age.
If I were 20 yrs. younger? 5 would be too many.
stpete, my grandma had an abortion in the early 60s. She already had 7 children and was in her mid 40s. I can't say I judged her when she told me. Because omg.
I think more than two right now is too many. I do want more (maybe 3 or 4) but H and I are getting pretty stressed out by toddlerhood and the baby getting bigger so he's thisclose to getting snipped.
I have Mirena right now and we will revisit the issue in a few years.
Soon to celebrate the day we met, even if the day before marks when we said goodbye.
We're happy with one, entertaining the notion of trying for two, would be in manic hysterics having three. It would be impossible to have four because we would both have all of our reproductive organs removed after #3.
My husband's mother was apparently upset at numbers 4 (the hellion), 5 (my h), and 6 (the favorite). FIL said he finally told her "I'm putting a stop to this!" and got a vasectomy, lol.
Any more than the two that I have would be too many.
right now - 3 would be too many which is why i got the tubes tied.
if I had started back in my 20's, I would've like to have had 3 or 4. DH and I talked about having 3, but it was a rough go at trying between DD and DS and the 4 year difference caused us to want to stop. I would've liked another one in between them.
