    I have 3... Son just turned 26, Daughter 24, and son 16.

    Sometimes I think "what the heck was I thinking?" having my youngest so far a part, poor guy had like 4 parents growing up. But yea as another poster said (the snipped guy) I wouldn't change it for the world. He has Aspergers and everyday is interesting in my house for sure!) :)

    Oh I could count my husband too... he is 42 LOL

    Ideally I'd like 1 of my own. However, after trying to conceive for over a year (with fertility meds, procedures, etc.) with my ex-husband, I found out I may not be able to have any kids of my own. Womp womp. Boyfriend has an 8 year old son, so that works for me. Minus his crazy devil-c!nt mother of course.

    I have 3 beautiful children, 2 cats and 1 dog. If we're talking about human kids though, ZERO!

    I have one, a daughter, she's 19 months old. I would like to another in a couple of years or so, hopefully a boy. But another princess wouldn't be so bad. :)

    0.

    You know what's sweeter than the sound of a child's laughter?
    Silence because I don't have any *****ing kids!

    I'll be 31 next month, and the husband is 32. Used to want 3 or 4, now we like the idea of two....and not opposed to adoption!

    tick tock :bigsmile:

    For now...it's just us and our dog & 2 cats.

    I want 2 sadly I have none. I want a boy and a girl. I have names picked out already. When I have a boy it will be named Jackson Patrick (he will not be called Jack or Jackie) and when I have a girl she will be called Georgia Belle (Belle after my great grandmother). I just need to find someone who wants kids.

    & someone who agrees with your choice in names would be important as well.
    :indifferent:

    Yes that's important too. I meant to add that but kinda forgot lol I had a moment

    In my 20s, I didn't really want children. In my early 30s, I wanted two...had them at once. Now, I have 3 (women...don't trust Yaz...LOL). I do not feel the need to add to the brood.

    We are planning on zero, but you never know, 1 could happen and we would be OK with that.

    I have 3. I wanted 4. (2 boys 2 girls as well). My first 2 were girls and we just welcomed our first baby boy in May. We barely avoided 2 tragedies when we had our son so we are done. We may adopt in the future.

    As of now, none. I can't picture myself having kids, but then again I'm only 18. I say 3 is my limit and they have to be spread out in age. I mostly dislike children. As a little girl, I hated playing with baby dolls and always wanted to play with Barbie instead. Then, when I was 14 I started babysitting for people and really hated it. Other people's kids are brats... The only child I like is my niece. I love being an aunt so much.

    And if you already have kids, how many do you have? :D

    I want 4 kids, 2 girls, 2 boys. Wouldn't that be the perfect life? Lmfao. i hope my body bounces back after four human beings :p


    lol... would you like to borrow my two boys and two girls... and the body that didn't bounce right back :) hehe just saying...

    hm, OP has deactivated their account...

    I saw that too. You think it was because she was at 106 and her goal weight was 76lbs? That seems dreadfully low. And she certainly wouldn't be able to have 4 kids healthfully at that weight. Hope she's OK.

    Zero!!!!! I don't particularly care for children. I'd rather spend the 18+ years traveling the world.

    Good on you for those of you who want/have kids though. Just not for me. :)

    I got 3, which was what I wanted. :love: I had thought maybe 4, but after 3 c sections, I was very happy with 3. A daughter and two sons. They're alot of work, but the most rewarding kind!
