    If you could, would you decide on a 3rd child?

      I have 2 kids, also a "hao" zi. Definitely no more kids for me or my life will be shortened. Enuf is enuf. Even if it were 2 boys or 2 gals, no more for me. I didn’t even want kids last time. I admire those mommies with >2 and not go insane yet.


      I know of a fren who has 3 gals and her MIL is pushing her to have a 4th so that she can haf a grandson.

        Yes ladies, I know what you mean.

        But supposing I want a girl or boy to make a ‘hao’ zi but yet cannot afford 3rd one, still cannot proceed. I was lucky to have a girl and a boy.
        My daughter could have been a bonus…first-born son is born with cleft lip and palate.

          I wanted kids and i know that for sure, but i wasn't ready to have one
          or two rather... 😛 ... too early a stage after marriage. Heck! I didn't
          even wanna get hitched too early too in actual fact. :roll:

          My PILs have been synically harping on my incapacity to give birth to
          a boy. FIL went as far as calling hubs a sissy nick. :roll: Well, he had
          3 sons altogether so he said his missiles are good ones lar. 😛

          Whatever. :roll:

          I love my girls to death! :love:

          So, even with this pregnancy... none seem too excited.
          Nor care..

            Yup buds, I luv my girl too... the bond between mother n daughter is different from mother n son. at least when i had my gal, i can dream of going shopping with her like how I shopped with my mom. 😄

              lolz. my ds1 is the dd that i never had.
              he likes heart-to-heart talk (at least now at this age..:politebleah:)
              and we both like to shop at bookstores (i don't like to shop for clothes 😎 ).
              but i know when he grows up, he belongs to his wife. :idea:
              so glad that i have a sis, so when our boys grew up and flew the coops, we can go out on occasional high tea or just sit around and watch idol-dramas despite already being grandmas. 😉

                I love my gal very much. She is caring, understanding & thoughtful...the bond with her is very different as compared to my son. With my son, I can accept that he will fly the coop and belong to his wife. It's ok.


                Know of someone who has 5 daughters :shock: . Hubby told wife enough of kids. BTW, it's the wife who wants a son.

                      Cute hor.
                      My friends whom I grew up with in the same neighborhood have SEVEN boys, aged 15-2 years old.
                      The couple were neighborhood, school sweethearts, then married.
                      They are both doctors.
                      The hubby is a podiatrist, the wife is a dentist.
                      She wants #8, regardless of the gender of the child.
                      HE DOES NOT WANT ANYMORE CHILDREN.

                      Please excuse the caps :oops:

                        Hi Duriz,

                        It’s really ironic that the person giving birth still wants to have more but erm… the one providing the sperm is calling it QUITS.

                        The husband (father of 5 girls) told wife to stop…don’t want to try anymore.
