For me, it's four, combination of two boys and two girls. I think it's average, not too many and not too few. How about you, when you get married, how many children do you want to have?

I think i prefer two or three children. Fine for boy or girl, except all are boys or girls. Though i am not even married yet. I think four children seems a little more for me to raise. Also, with the care to the wife, too many pregnency will do harm to her body. So i choose to have less babies. We have to make baby healthy and clear, not to pursue the quantity. It is not clear.

Hello There. When I was in college, I thought I want five kids because we are five in the family but when I watched how a woman gives birth naturally and even by C-section, I thought I just wanted 3-4 children. I got afraid at that time haha.... but when I started working and realize how it is not easy to raise kids and in the fear of not being able to give them good future, I decided to have only two kids. I hope I will have two kids and by that time, my partner and I will have a really stable and successful job so we can give them the best education they need. Also, to be able to spend time with them and to our other relatives also. But in case, I will have more than 2 kids then it is fine with me. They are God's gift from above. I will surely love them! Thank you for the discussion! Appreciate this. Happy Mylotting and Have a great day! Cheers!

I have two children. One boy, one girl. For me, that's enough! I know others want more, or less. For you, having 2 of each... if you could actually plan that and have it work, for you, that'd be great. My one friend, wanted 3 boys. She has 2 girls. I know they say the gender is determined in the sperm. However, there are ways to supposedly help to get the gender you prefer. Of course, it's not a 100% science. I hope, when you get married, you and your wife agree on this, and try to make it work.
