If money were not an issue, say for instance you have plenty of money and never have to work another day in your life, how many kids would you have? I for one would have lots of kids. Maybe 10 or so. I love kids, I love being pregnant, I love when they are so little and cute. Just wondering if I am crazy for thinking this, or if anyone else would be the same way?

Umm I'm not sure if I could handle 10 kids LOL I find it hard enough with one. I think the ideal number for me would be three!

Well now, I have to tell you, you are rare. Not many women enjoy actually being pregnant. They enjoy getting there and they enjoy the baby when it comes, but pregnancy, most would rather pass on that part. Maybe some like the attention that they get when they are pregnant.
I would not know, as I have never been pregnant. But, I would like to have three children. Two girls and a boy. Most women prefer boys, but not me. Girls seem like so much fun. You can dress them up and do their hair and buy them dolls and all of the stuff that you enjoyed.
I know about all the bad things that can happen to girls when they get older, but it will be fun to teach them all the things that I learned. I don't like girls that wont listen though. Some girls, you can't tell them anything, they always no better than everyone. Those type get on my nerves.
I want one boy, he should be the youngest, so I can spoil him. Boys are rough and I would probably want him to put on protective gear, just to horseplay. If he has no brother, then I guess he will have to depend on his father to beat him senseless when wrestling around the house,LOL.

Well, my older two fight constantly, so they get plenty of beatings.
I am with you on the girl thing. I always wanted a girl so I could dress her up pretty and play with her hair. With boys there is not too much to do. Dress them up all cute and then they just end up dirty within an hour. Last night the baby was absolutely filthy! And if I were to have a girl now, odds are she would be a tomboy because she would have 3 older brothers and no sister to look up to.
As far as my pregnancies, I had no real problems other than gall stones with my first one. Labor sucks no matter what way you look at it. I finally had an epidural with the 3rd one, but after all that they ended up having to do a C section anyway, so I couldnt move much for a few days. I was a horrible patient, didnt want to give myself time to heal, just wanted to go home. Just wanted to be back to normal.

Even if money wasn't an issue, I'm not sure I would have anymore kids. But I would love to be able to provide a nice foster home or adopt a couple of older kids. I've always thought it was such a shame that so many older kids go from foster home to foster home but aren't adopted. So when they reach 18 and are no longer "in the system" they essentially don't have a mother or father.

If money weren't an issue, I think that I could handle 4 at the most. I want each of my kids to feel special, and give them the time and attention that they deserve, and with any more than 4 I don't think I could do that, especially if they were close in age.
Realistically, I'll probably have two though, since money is a factor. Haha.
