If you could have as many kids as you wanted, how many would you have? Or do you already have a large family with a lot of kids. Together my husband and I have 6 and we would like to have 1 more. Some people are against large families and some are all for them...what do you think?

If I could have as many kids as I want... I'd have a few less than I currently have, lol! I never meant to have 5 kids, but I do not regret having them. I don't want anymore though. I know a couple who is about to have their 10th child!

Well, I have 4 and my husband has 2. My four came in 2 1/2 years with a set of twins in the middle, so I guess I didn't mean to have that many either..haha. But like you I have no regrets. God bless the couple having their 10th. I am pushing for 7th but I don't about 10!!!

I have a set of twins as well. After my fourth child my hubby was fixed, and then nearly a year later, surprise!! I really can't say much nice about the couple having their 10th child. All I know is about 2 kids ago she was trying to push her husband to get fixed, and each time she gets pregnant now she blames it on him for not getting fixed. I wonder if she's ever heard of birth control?

I can't imagine mine being old enough to work someday but I am sure that it does make it easier. Enjoy your large, busy family.

I don't see nothing wrong about having more kids for as long as you can support all of them and make them be better people. In my case, I want to have 2 or 3 kids. I really want to focus on them and give them the happiness and needs that they deserve.

You are absolutely right. Having a lot of kids can be expensive and some people don't think of that when they are having them. You really having to have your priorities in line to have a big family if you don't have a huge income. Thanks

I guess two sounds like enough right now, lol. I don't really know, I haven't thought about this in great detail. After having my own I'd like to adopt of course. And I guess I would adopt at least three more kids. I don't know, this is hard. I don't really like thinking about that right now. I'll wait and see what the future holds for me.

For some people is something to think about. We have thought about adopting also. I have alot of respect for those who adopt, I heard it can be a long process. Good luck on what you decide in the future!!

Hello 4ofmyown, For your information i still not marry yet but i dream to have one small happy family with just 3 children. Theirs many opinion but who car,its your own choice to live in a big family or not. If you effort to make a big family than you can have one .

I'm going for the american dream lol, a boy and a girl and a dog and a cat. I don't think the cat is supposed to be in there, but I won't let my cat go! But in seriousness, I do want at least two kids. I had a brother and a sister growing up and I think I would have been so bored if they weren't around. So I don't want an only child. Of course, the person I marry has to agree with me, but I'm working on it lol. Three is probably the max though.

See, my way of thinking was like yours. I would like a boy and a girl. So, I had a boy, then tried for the girl and got twin boys. So, of course, had to try again and got my girl. And hey, change the dream a little and keep the cat, definitely!
