What kind of DH do you have?

Just wondering what kind of DH everyone has...

 I have a Jim Bob here, lol.

 I voted I had to beg and plead...but it wasn't likethat really...he didn't want more than 1-2 and we have 5...so I had to do a little bit of work but not straight upbegging and pleading like on my hands and knees...it was more like he would eventually cave after me being sad every now and again...he doesn't like to see me sad...I wasn't sad just to get my way but that's really what got me all of my cutie pies :)

I just sometimes wonder if there were more Jim Bobs and fewer "X is our Limit" Men if less women would have GD?

My DH is like if God wants us to have them we'll have them, but thinks birth control is a good idea. lol, but we're DTD already and i'm not on birth control yet

I didn't vote as I don't think my DH fits into any one catagory.  I don't know what he thought his life with kids would be before we had any, we never really talked about it.  DS1 and DS2 were oopsies.  I never thought he go for a 3rd, especially when I said I wanted another.  I have to say he really went for #3 and #4 just to make me happy.  He loves them to death, but in a honesty, we probably wouldn't have them if I didn't want them.  And now he "jokes" about going for #5 which REALLY REALLY confuses the crap out of me!!

I Jim Bob...sweet and smart...but I don't have one of him at home lol

My dh is a danger to me.  lol.  He is the type of man that will do anything and go to any length to make me happy.  Which is awesome... but it also add a lot of responsibility.  You can't push that beyond all limits.  IYKWIM. 

I would love 7-8 kids.  My dh would probably have stopped after 2.  We have 3 now, and are getting ready to try for another.  At some point, I am going to have to stop.  Which is hard when he doesn't say no. 

I don't want a miserable hubby.  However, I do want a big family.  Not 19... but atleast 6.  So, I have to weigh what I am pretty sure are his opinions against what I really really want. 

I am not good at being responsible or mature.  lol.  I am a selfish only child.  It is hard to change.  :o)))

 Takes them as they come... I wish he were Jim Bob. LOL.   

I think I'll get 4 outta him before I have to start begging to get to my number 6+.  

And it's getting easier, the older they get, the more he likes them.. therefore easier to convince him to have more.   I think if he had more time with them, he would want a million like me... they are just sooo much fun!! 

My DH always wanted 3.  My max was 2. 

But DH did HT for me.  So I guess we both sort of got what we wanted.  lol

 Mine said that if I wanted another one, he'd do it.  The ball is in my court.

This is my husband!  He would have at least 4, my max was 2.  Here were are pregnant with #3.  He says if we have a third boy, he wants to go high tech!

Well, I'd have to say mine falls in the 2nd category.  He's always said he'd have as many kids as I wanted, but I think he is pretty hurt by my GD so recently he said no more when the subject came up.  I am sure that I could convince him to try again, though.  He never had a set # of kids in mind... that was me.  I always only wanted 2, but since I didn't get a girl either time I've had this big dilemma .  If he thought I would be happy with another boy I know he would agree to more in a heartbeat.

I didn't vote because mine doesn't really fit any of the options. He was totally on board for the first two, but he was ready to be done at two. He agreed to wait a while to make a decision because he knew how much I wanted another one. When the boys got older and life got easier, he agreed to one more, although I still don't think that would have been his choice. But now that she is here, he is totally in love, just as he was with our other two babies.

I am very blessed b/c my dh is pretty much open to what I want!  We always planned for a minimum of 3 kids... so I know we will have at least one more.  Some days, I would like 4 and I know dh would be willing to do it for me.  He actually really likes kids (we met when we were both working at a church camp for kids).  Also, I came from a family of 3 kids and he came from a family of 5 kids (3 biological + 2 adopted).  And I am sure if I wanted 5, he would go for it... but he will be the 1st to tell you they did without a lot with 5 kids in the family.  SO for so many reasons, I don't see us having more than 4 planned children. 

I think you raise an interesting subject.  If we could have as many kids as we wanted, I wouldn't be worried like I am about never having a girl.  BUT in my "real" world, I know without a doubt that I have limits to how many I can physically, emotionally, and financially handle.  BTW, I voted for #2.
