what is your ideal number of kids?
Replies

I have 4 SOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4. LOL0
-
I have 1 right now..I would love to have 4 but realistically we'll probably have 20
-
I think 4 or so. Somewhere between 3 and 5 but no less than 3. And I would love twins. I think it would be sweet if I had twins. lol
My mom actually said that I might've been a twin. She had symptoms of a miscarriage and the one hospital said she did miscarry but her regular doctor checked her out and I was still alive but the doctor said it's possible that I was originally part of a twin and my twin miscarried which would explain the miscarriage like symptoms.0 -
I always wanted 5 but only had 4.0
-
I have one now, which I'm happy with. I would like 2 more later on in life when I find Mr. Right & when the time is right.0
-
2-3 kids of my own!
I have 1 little girl already and take care of 5 other kids daily0 -
Whoa!
I originally wanted 0. I'm a teacher, so I have students all day. It's nice to have peace at home.:-)
But now that I got married, I'm considering 1 or 2 at the most. We like to travel and enjoy downtime to ourselves, plus more than that is a big financial obligation!

I'm fine with the number that I currently have, which is 0.
However, lately I've been thinking that at some point in the future I will have 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl. I don't know why I have been thinking that! :noway:
My plan does include kids, I think... but it's after school, and I have about 6 years left of school, then I want a career for a bit... by the time I may be ready for kids, I'll be almost 40, which is fine I guess. Who knows what the future holds?0 -
NONE!! Clearly I can not even properly take care of myself!!
I used to want 3 or 4. I am now seriously considering 0. Who knows, I'll change my mind a million times anyway!0 -
I have 2 biologic kids. I want to adopt another... but an older child that would otherwise be a stuck in the system.0
-
My husband and I would like to have one boy and one girl (preferrably boy first because I've always wanted a big brother, lol). We are willing to have up to 3 of our own to get at least one boy and at least one girl. Eventually, we would like to adopt as well0
-
For me, child-free. I'd like to adopt when I'm older though.0
-
We have four: two boys and two girls. It's ideal. The boys have a brother and sisters and the girls have a sister and brothers. They are now 23-34 and now we have two grandkids 7and 9. One of each. I did childcare in our home for 11+ years so there were always kids around. Loved it!0

0 !!!!
Zero, zip, nada.....
Dogs are cool, though.
+1
I've been happily married for 15 years and have three dogs. My husband and I like it that way! :-)0 -
I have none right now. But I want 2-3. Boyfriend (been together 5 yrs, on the verge of marriage so yes we talk about this stuff) says no more than 2. Sometimes he says just one, and *maybe* two. I think once we get going with this whole kid thing after we get married, he'll love em and want 5. LOL. I'm really scared to get pregnant, but I wanna have my own kids, so I'll endure it.0
-
My husband always wanted 6 kids. Then we had our first and he realized that real kids are different than imaginary ones. We ended up with 4, boy girl girl boy. I would have liked at least 1 more, but after 4 Csections my Dr said we had to stop.0
-
I'd like 3 or 4 kids. Right now I don't have any and God willing one day I hope I do. Maybe getting some of this weight off will help with that process. If all I get is 1 kid I will be more than happy.0
-
I have always said i wanted 100.
But a good number would be 10!!!0 -
I have 3 now 2 boys and a girl, me and my husband still mention " if we have another " at times so a possibility For 1 more maybe then we would be done0
-
ive always thought 2 was the ideal.... we have 3 lol, and i wouldnt be without any of them... but 2 is still ideal IMO. Definitely no more than 3!0
-
I have two but I would have liked to have had a couple more. When I was a kid I wanted two girls and two boys. I wanted one of the girls to have red hair and green eyes and the other girl to have curly brown hair and brown eyes. :laugh: Well I ended up with a girl with red hair and hazel (green/blue) eyes and a boy with curly brown hair and hazel (brown/green) eyes. :happy:0
-
I have 3 boys, 16, 12 & 4. I thought I wanted 7 when I was younger, but now I wish I had stuck to just 1. Hindsight is 20/20 right? I love my boys, but with one driving, one disabled & one in preschool, I could pull my hair out & still not know what to do with myself, LOL! I just keep my faith & keep on loving the life I was given. They are the answers to the prayers I never asked, LOL!0
-
none but if i was raped i'd wish it was a girl lol...0
-
None!!0

I want 3 kids. 2 girls and 1 boy. And I want the boy to be in the middle (don't ask me why 'cause I don't know, i just do). I have names picked out and everything. Which is why I can't have more than 3. I don't have names for more than that. lol. I want to name my kids after my parents and in-laws which is how my mom named my brother and I.
Mother: Catherine Grace
MIL: Carolyn Anne
My 2 girls: Catherine Anne (Annie) and Carolyn Grace (Gracie)
Father: Josiah Henrique
FIL: Robert William
My boy: Robert Henrique (Henri)
Josiah William just doesn't work for me so because of this I can only have 1 boy.0 -
0. Anyone want my 4?0
-
2. I have a boy and a girl. And got myself fixed. We're D.O.N.E.!0
-
I wanted 2, ended up with 3...had twins right off the bat....Now my baby is 17 almost 18yrs old and I'm ready to start my second childhood!!0
-
Ideally I would like two kids, however If I can only comfortably support one then I will only have one. I hate it when people want to have a crap load of kids and then they don't have the money to take care of them, or they have to work so much to take care of them that they end up neglecting them. Be responsible people. Parenting should be a priviledge not a right.........because lets face it some people should not be allowed to breed.0
