Done Having Kids??

kimberly_ann81

Not really sure where to post this but I'm wondering how you knew you were done having kids.  We have three but I"m not sure if we are done or if I want one more.  DH is happy with three but willing to have one more if I want.  DH will be 41 this year so if we have one more it will be next year.  I can't decide; one day I"m done and other day I want one more.  How did you know you were done?

For us, our family felt complete. I am 28 and have a three year old and 6 month old (daughters). We know we're done, but feel weird speaking for 35 year old "me," so we aren't doing anything super permanent (vasectomy, IUD) until we are in our thirties (I have a semi-permanent bc in my arm currently).

Again, our family just feels complete. Moving to a family of five would change everything (car, house, livelihood), and we aren't interested in doing that, either.

My lo is 6months i have a 3yr old & a 9 yr old, id happily have more but every1 around me including partner said thats enough which is annoying especially as i hate being told what to do lol!! Way i see it is what is ment to b wil be & if your ment to have more nature will take its course if you try for more, i wil never feel done but couldnt have more unless partner agreed so guess unless he changes his mind no more for me

Together we have 3. 9yr, 6yr, and 8 month old. We want more, I know we are not done because I see my son being a big brother one day too. I think if you feel you are not sure, take a few monthds and think about again later.

Definitely not done. My son is 7 months old & we just found out last weekend we are expecting again! If this one is a girl that might be it & if it's another boy we may wait a couple years and try for a third. We definitely won't have more than 3, I think we're both in agreement on that.

I miss sleep lol that's how I know I'm done! I have 8yr old and 7 mo old. Hell I always thought we'd just have 1, but im so happy we had our second

I always thought I wanted three, but lately I'm feeling like I can only afford two.  I know there are ways to make it work, but right now two is all I can handle.  We are open to more children in the future, but no plans to make it happen.
