    I'm fine with my 2 for 1 deal twin boys.

    I never wanted kids, they were an oops.

    Child free is the way to be... don't let other people pressure you into having kids... we're over populated anyway and you should enjoy your life and freedom!
  • Most people think im crazy, but for me I want twins.

    a boy and a girl and then i would probably want another boy :smile:

    They aren't an accessory or novelty item :grumble:

    Twins have a much higher risk to mom AND babies. Whatever negative things that can happen during pregnancy are risk x 2 with twins. The chances that they will be premature or developmentally delayed are higher.

    I would love to eventually have between 2 and 4. I am open to adoption because I am not sure if I could handle having all 4 :laugh:

    (P.S I would love to have a mix. We have a curse in our family of all boys except for my Aunt, Sister, and myself. But I love my two little cousins, who are both boys, and I know exactly how to handle them! :smile:)

    If I could afford them, I'd like 4. They can be in whatever order or sex, but it would be nice for a mix of boys and girls. If there was at least one boy that was older (like oldest) that would be good too. They tend to stick up for and watch out for the younger sisters. lol :)

    Of course I'd be happy to have any, I just think around 4 is ideal. I love kids.
  • I just had my 1st and let me tell you ive never felt so in love.

    I want 1 more a boy :)))) ill have my baseball player

    And my little princess :)

    We want 3. I grew up with just a brother and always wanted another sibling. I already have the names picked out.

    I have got 4.. and we started young, keep in mind I am 39 and my wife is 36. My oldest daughter is 20 and she is getting married next year. My oldest son is 18 and awaiting confirmation to be able to enlist in USAF, my second oldest son is 15 and my youngest daughter is about to turn 12.

    Well I originally wanted zero... Then my little girl came along haha. I love her to death though! She's probably going to be the only one... Though one day I might have baby fever and want another, we'll see :)

    I have one, and possibly will have one more.

    What I wanted before I discovered I was pregnant with my son, none.

    Sounds like us! We have 4 as well (11- Son, 8-Son, 3-Son, 2-Daughter).

    So its wrong to want twins? I would like twins...I dnt view them as an accessory. Not like the lady was saying she's taking unprescribed clomid or something just for twins. Ppl are saying what gender children they want. Why aren't you giving them a spill about children not being a accessory and be happy for what you get?

    Twins don't always equal danger and high risk. Just like singletons don't equal a easy pregnancy.

    I'd like to adopt 1 little girl. I can have children, but I think adopting is the greatest thing you could do for society- especially if you are financially capable.
  • none. but i MIGHT adopt. :)

    Hm, I've always said that I wanted a boy and girl. But, at this age, since it hasn't happened, I'm working on being OK with zero being the answer...still not there yet but getting there!

    It's stupid to say you want twins knowing the risks are higher, just so you can say you have twins. I didn't say ALWAYS. I said MORE LIKELY.

    Never once did you say more likely. You said they are. Your comment was irrelevant bc you clearly aren't a medical professional and this post was about what one would like to have not risk of pregnancy. Why must you be a party pooper?

    I wanted none until we had our first child. A definite oops baby. We fell in love with the little monster.

    We let God sort out how many after that. We now have 9. Son 23 m. wonderful dil, daughter 18, daughter 16, son 14, son 12, son 9, son 5, son 2, and son 1.

    And if anyone gives you grief about child free by choice, just tell them that others have taken up the slack. ;D

    Dude, its a fantasy thread where people are talking about what they would like. Everything can have complications and things can alwys go bad. Your kids can be drug dealers or bank robbers, everything has dangers. Lets just keep this thread nice and clean from negative thoughts ok?
