My hubby and I decided to start trying for # 3. We have 2 girls and want to try for a boy. So far everyone we've told freaks. I get " Are you kidding, THREE!!!" or "Stop while you're a head!" And I've been call crazy more times this week then I could begin to count. So the Question is, "How many is to many and why?"

It is different for every couple (I am currently pregnant with child number three). You should have as many children as you and your husband want and can support. Just tell the nosy people that you are working on a baker's dozen...that'll give them something to be shocked by. I wish you the best of luck trying to conceive!

I'd say too many would be when you felt that you were done. If you got to the point where having another child would mean that your other kids would no longer be getting the attention they need and deserve, it would put extreme stress on you emotionally and financially, and it would mean that you wouldn't be able to properly care for you new arrival...that would probably be the time to definately stop. Until you've reached that point or the point where you've had enough, then just don't listen to what everyone else says. This is your family, your baby, your life and if you want another one then there is nothing wrong with that. Good luck.

Three isn't too many. If you can financially and physically keep up with 3 kids then go for it. Stuff what anyone else says. I have heard the same thing soooooooo many times in the last 2 years since I wanted my 3rd but hubby is listening to them unfortunately!! I'm still trying to persuade him.
Look at the Duggar Family. They have 17 kids and they look to be coping alright. (Go to their website and check out their house! Its beautiful and doesn't look like chaos or anything.)
Good luck and have a third! Babies are a blessing and if you want another then go for it!

Well, We have a nearly 3 year old,a 21 month old(both boys) and I'm 5 weeks off baby #3.
We don't have much money but lots of love!(we are paying off our home,own 2 cars,my husband works full time and until recently i worked 3 days a week)
i just love my children and can't wait for the new arrival!
I think if you feel emotionally ready then do it.
Too may people think you have to so much money,so you can buy designer outfits and expensive prams.
Money helps but not as much as wanting and loving your children.

Like you I my husband and I had two wonderful girls and desperately wanted a little boy so we tried a third time and people did us the same way. We did it anyway and had another wonderful little girl, but five years later we became the guardians of two little boys ages 1 and 2 who needed us so who can say what is enough for you. We thought three was enough for us and now we have 5.
God Bless You with your decision.

Too many is when you have more than you can care for emotionally.
Also, too many is when you're having another and wishing it's a boy or a girl. Have another because you want another baby, not because you want the chance of having a boy.

I have twin boy's and we decided to go back.
I'm not pregnant yet, but will continue to go back until I have a daughter!!
There is nothing wrong with how many kids anyone wants, as long as you have enough love to go around!!
Best wishes, from another crazy one xx

I dont how many is too many, its a personal thing, i would like six and DH is okay with that (I think, he hasnt said no anyway) but you might think that six is crazy. If you want three kids then go for it, I dont see anyhting wrong with it.
good luck for the future x
