When you were young or until now...how many children would you like to have and how would you hit your target(the number of kids)?Would you use family planning?
What age difference would you like to have? How many boys and how many girls would you like to have? ^^,

I have one child, and I think he's the only one I'm going to have. If I did decide to have another, it would much later, and through adoption.
WHen I was young I didn't think I wanted to have any kids, but as time has gone on I started realizing that the reason I didn't want kids is because I was afraid of being a horrible parent like my parents, and I started to realize that I just wasn't the kind of person who would do those things.
My husband only wants to have the one child too, and so we are in agreement on this issue. Right now I'm on birth control.

Part of the reason is that I know so many people who feel that their siblings were more loved than they were, or that their parents didn't spent enough time just paying attention to them. Another part is the simple fact that I have a lot of health problems, so I'm not really up to chasing after multiple little ones.

I actually don't want any at all. Never have and probably never will. I just can't stand them. And pregnancy? Ick. No thank you.
I also have several health problems that would probably make pregnancy extremely painful and labour would probably kill me. But, I have a uteran disorder which has a high likelihood of causing infertility, so I may not have to worry about it.

I don't like children in the first place and the very concept of pregnnacy makes my skin crawl. Having some creature living inside your body and eating the food straight from your stomach, stealing your nutrients and energy? No thank you.

The day I came home with my first and only child from the hospital, I was convinced that I wanted more kids. But, after about a year of on the job mommy training, I changed my mind. Now, I'm just happy with the one I have. She's like three kids rolled into one...so much energy...where the heck do they get all that energy!

well, that's a heck of a point.. lol.. ^^,
my baby sister who is 5 yrs old is also so hyperactive that she always want to play and do things... it's very hard to take care of her because of her hyperactieness but we're still thankful she's not like the other who are weak or sickly..we love her so much.. ^^,

At the rate i'm going I'll probably never have kids. I'd like to have two or three though. I'd acquire them by sneaking into the cabbage patch at midnight and taking them.. either that or ya know.. finding the right girl, loving her dearly and impregnating her with my nefarious demon seed. bwahahahah! Start my own evil army and such.

I would like to have 3, maybe 4. I have 3 siblings and we're all close in age. That feels good to me. I would want 3 boys and 1 girl.
That's what I would want, but you never know how it's going to work out.
