Would you be happy with 2 kids?

[imsoscared2022]

Would you be happy with just 2 kids? Say you had 2 girls or 2 boys would you try again for the opposite?

I wouldn't try for the opposite but I would want more than two children. Boy or girl.

2 is just right, for me. I definitely don't want any more and I've got two of the same sex.

Yes I would be happy.
No I wouldn’t try for the opposite.

Nah, happy with one.

I'd of loved the opportunity to have had two. Realistically there are pros and cons to any number of children.

No because I'm done with one, boy. I do know a family with 6/7 girls (I moved away and they kept having children) , I know their third daughter, they all know after the first 1/2 they were only having children to have a boy. Not a nice way to feel

Just one is enough for me thanks!

I had one girl and one boy but still wanted a third child. Did not care about sex of child.

I’m happy with one love

Oh and I would've been done with one if he was a girl!

I'm happy with two of the same sex. There was a window when I was broody for 3, nothing to do with their sex, but circumstances didn't align neatly and my brain moved on before my body caught up. With hindsight, two has been sensible for our circumstances.

And then you had a 3rd
and it was the same would you be trying again? Tbh I got lucky first was girl second was a boy 🤷‍♀️

Two def will be enough for us, and two girls is just perfect. No interest in having any more or attempting to have a boy. We almost stayed at one so two are definitely going to be enough I think!

Happy with one.

Children's characters are individual so I don't know what people expect boys or girls to be like unless they totally believe every child is a stereotype of their sex.

My third was the opposite gender to the first two. Still kept going.

I have 3 and would like to try for a 4th next year (have frozen embryos left)
I wouldn't have felt done with 2 - I always imagined 3 at least as it was I had twins second.
If I didn't have the embryos I'd be done (can't have babies naturally anyway as lost both tubes to ectopics)

I'm not sure why there's this narrative that everyone wants at least one of each sex anyway? I was over the moon we were having a second girl! It was just what I'd hoped.

I have more than 2 but that’s not the question being asked is it? The op is asking specifically if you would try to get the opposite sex not just how many kids you would have so.....?

No, I absolutely don’t want more than two children. And unless you go abroad for PGD then you can’t try for a single sex, just a baby.

I doubt most people want 3+ children.

So the point is, when I did just that and got the opposite sex (though I didn't care), I kept going because I wanted more. So having the opposite sex didn't clinch the deal on having more or being done.

Some of us are happy with one child. I feel very fortunate to have had our much wanted, much loved dc.

I had one of each and desperately wanted a third of either sex. Never happened for us and for a while I was absolutely devastated because I’d always wanted a big family. Now it’s been a couple of years since we stopped TTC, my eldest is at secondary school, my feelings have moved on and I’m very content with my life with two children.

But that’s not what the op is asking and this thread isn’t about you so I’m not sure why you are commenting on what I wrote, the op is asking if you would try again to get the opposite sex so I asked how many time’s she would keep trying if that’s the aim as 3rd could also be a boy so I’m asking if she would try again for a girl after that. 😕

Had one of each but knew I was done before second was born and didn’t find out sex before then!
