What kind of DH do you have?

Just wondering what kind of DH everyone on this forum has?  Jim Bob Duggar type or some other type?

Cute poll.  My DH kind of leaves it up to me.  He is fine with only one biological child but I know he would love a son as well. 

I had 2 boys already when I met my DH and we decided on just 1 more together!! I had to beg, grovel and tantrum  for my last 2, I think though his issues were more with me suffering infertility and having to go through IVF to acheive a pregnancy. 

 He absolutely adores all his kids tho!

I voted Jim Bob, although that's not strictly true.  When we first got together he only wanted one or maybe two children (preferably girls)...  It was only once we had DS1 that DH was really up for #2, and then #3 and then #4....  It seemed whenever we had a newborn my DH would want another!  LOL 

I was dead set on being done this time and having my tubes tied.  My DH is strongly against that as he says he wants another after this baby is born to bring us up to 8 children.  I'm OK with that, my DH has never really asked me for anything much so if he wants an 8th (and I'm happy to have one) then it's all good with me!

I pretty much had to beg him for the last few!!!    Now we tease each other about having another one and while I sometimes think it might happen I am 99% sure we are done forever!

My DH is great with our kids and would like more. I'm not sure how many more we will have as he is 45 maybe 2 or 3?

LOL...

well i posted this same poll over on the GD board and only 9% of women had Jim Bob's there...whereas on the big family board its 45%

I had a theory that the kind of DH contributes to GD (if women didn't feel pressured its the LAST chance or knew they could have as many kids as it took to get a mix etc. the GD would be less)...does that make sense?

Anyhow, I'd be interested in getting some tips on how to convince DH to have another, since he's now insisting he's too "old" (37) and we should just be happy with 3 boys, blah blah blah...even though i've been saving for hi tech for over a year now

Dh isnt for or against but took them as they come after dd3 he begged me for no more. Well now Im begging for another but so far not looking good for me.

That totally makes sense.

Hmmm...I don't have any tips but I don't think of 37 as being too old...

My dh is 30 and says he too old . 

mines great he also dosent mind if we have 6 kids etc he says he wants just 6 but sometimes he mentions what if we did have 7 or 8

so i reckon if i really wanted more he would agree

 Mine is a cross between option 1 and 2. He LOVES babies and is always the first to say we need another, but he also doesn't want to keep trying (or not trying and getting a pleasant surprise..we are fertile..)..

 He is a daddy all the way. He loves to hang out with the kids and has NO problem with ME going out by MYSELF for HOURS at a time, so I can relax. I love my DH. He is the type to go out in the middle of the night to get me whatever food I am craving during pregnancy and just baby's me..which can get frustrating as well. He makes it easy to keep wanting more.

I had to beg and plead for baby #4 but ended up with TRIPLETS so he kinda got dumped into the Big Families category that I had ALWAYS wanted .  Hey he agreed to transfer 4 embryos so he knew what "could" happen tee hee.

Anyway now he is TOTALLY a Jim Bob Duggar and only works 4 days a week at his clinic so that he can be home with me and the kids more. Although he does NOT want anymore kids(neither do I)

 I am his best friend and he is mine.  All our spare time is spent doind all things "Family" not glamorous, not fancy but exactly where we are meant to be.

^^Same here.

 My DH loves kids.  He's kind of like the pied piper dude.  Kids are just attracted to him.  He's a wonderful dad.  He can be a PITA husband sometimes, but I can never say anything bad about his fathering skills!  : )

I wanted him to get the V after #2, but he refused.  We tried for #3 and then #4.  He's still not sure we're done and neither am I.  : )

My DH want none and has been done after every baby, but we didn't do anything permanent and I am super fertile.  He is 10000% done this time and will not even consider another baby.
