I am wondering how many children do you want to have to have a happy family. Are you having your dream? The number of boys and girls you have in your family? I could say mine is enough already. I have four kids, 2 boys and 2 girls so I think its a perfect pair already.

i ever i got married 4 years later. LOL one pair is good enough for me. i am not financially stable so that number is enough. maybe i can feed them all if have 2 or 3 pairs but it's very expensive now to send them to school.

Ideally I would like three, I don't mind the genders. So far I have one daughter and she is just perfect, so even if I don't manage to have any more I'm so happy and grateful that I have her!

Well when I was a kid I always said I wanted 2 girls and 2 boys but now that I have 2 boys I feel that I don't want no more kids. Even though maybe in the future I will. But for now is a big no no. Also did you notice any difference between the girls and boys behavior, cause I love my boys but they totally behave bad and they are just 2 years and 11 months and they fight for everything. I ask you these cause they have told me girls behave better then boys and that they don't give much to do when they are babies is this true.

Yes, as I observed there are really differences on their behaviour. Girls are more matured than boys and are of course more refined. Boys just take things easy and normally fight with each other. But its normal, kids do fighting at early age but when they grow older, they will become more responsible also in everything around them.

If it will be given to you, you can carry it with God's blessings. I'm glad to hear about your plans for adoption, I'm happy for those little babies who will be given a chance for a brighter future when adopted by good and responsible people.

Like you, I wished to have two boys and two girls for me. But I have one daughter and a son. Both of them got married. So I treat my son-in-law and my daughter-in-law as additons to my desire.

i am married for 5 years now and we have a two years old son. i am 34 now so i think one is enough. my wife is older than me she is 37 and she said that our son is enough too. we started old so we cant really have more kids even if we want to.

Thats okay, whatever God has given us is this time is something that we must be grateful to. Gender and number doesnt really matter, what is important is we are given a very rare and wonderful gift, and thats our kids.

Three is enough for me. I can't have a baby anymore because of my health. I got 3 cseasarian operation and my doctor advised me that I have to be ligated...I have 3 boys and I'm happy about it though I really want to have a baby girl.

So 3 boys is completely enough for you. No more chance. But you must be happy also, you are the only rose among the 4 thorns. Though I would suggest, you may adopt a baby girl soon...that way you are giving one soul an opportunity to have a better life with you.

We have a blended family with a total of eight children...yes you read that right, 8 children... There are 5 boys and 3 girls. I'll try to break this down as simply as possible...he had 2 children, 1 boy one girl, I had 3 children, 2 girls one boy, we had three more children together all boys. I can honestly say that I would have liked one more girl just because he and I don't have a girl together. But our 3 boys are great so I'm satisfied.

I think an essential number of children will be 3 - 5.

That's perfect! I would want one boy and one girl child when I wish to get married and have children. They are a bliss.

When I started having kids I wanted to have a boy and a girl. I was blessed with two boys. But that I am not going to try for my girl. You see I had my boys prematurely and I don't want to put another baby through that. But do not get me wrong I love my two boys and I now I don't want anymore children. I think over time what I thaught would be the perfect family has changed. The one I have is perfect for me.

I have one girl and one stepson. For me happiness of family life does not depend on number of children. It's on the kind of relationship you had among family members. My husband and I are not that well off so we both agreed to stop there. Our concentration is on investing in the future our children. If ever we have enough finances and we can afford to raise a child we wanted to add another 2 kids but due to financial difficulty we stop from having a baby. Even though we are still happy.

I would always say that having 2 children, a boy and a girl would be the best case scenario for me. So far, i only have a 3 year old daughter and looking forward to have another child and hopefully is a boy. The only thing i fear going through is during those first few years of raising therm where lots of attention, with tender love and caring is required and sometimes does really tire me down.
