How many children would you want to have/ have got? Most people go for 2 kids these days - would you want more, or less and what does your decision depend on?

My husband and I have 8 children. He came into our relationship with four, I brought three into the relationship and then we have one child together.

Wow! 8 kids! Do you all live together? And how do you feel about having such a large family? Was it what you had always wanted?

No, 3 of his children are now adults, and his daughter lives with his ex-wife. At most we only had 5 of the kids living with us at one time. When I was growing up I had one brother and one sister--plus my cousins were always around, so I was used to the feel of a large family. I wasn't what I was aiming for, but I love it. I already now i am going to be one of those poor women who doesn't know what to do with herself once the last baby leaves the nest. :o)

Hey thanks for the response, its really nice to hear that you enjoy having such a large family. I guess if its were used to when you were little, then its great to have a large family of your own now.

I already have one at the moment and he is only 19 months old. I have discussed this with my wife and we both agreed that we would let him grow bigger first, let say about 4 to 5 years old before we start thinking of the second one. And we have also agreed that the second one would be the last one for us. It is not that we do not like kids but we are considering the cost of bringing up a kid these days are really high and therefore, we rather go for quality than quantity. It is better that we only have two than more than that since with two, it is still within our means to give the best to them so that they would have a decent and comfortable life and not having to suffer like some families with many children where they find that it is really difficult to make ends meet... Cheers!

That is really well thought out, thanks for the response. If you did have more money, would you want more children?

I want as many as possible. Right now I am single without any kids. But its such a nice feeling being bugged up by the naughty kids all through the day. They can make your life hell. But We still want them. I just love kids.

I think 2 kids is appropriate in these days.A boy and a girl.If there is only one kid he/she will feel lonely and no partner to play with in home.But if there are more than two kids maybe there will be pressure of economic.Of course if I am rich I would like to have 3 kids.

I would like to have two children. It is good for the kids too. One kid feels lonely. Single kid may remain in the habit of living alone without sharing his/her things with others.
