How many kids do you have or want to have?

I have three kids of my own and we have another daughter that we unofficially adopted after she got grown. Her mother has never been in the picture and her dad passed away about a year ago. She has two of the sweetest babies that no longer had grandma and grandpa so Mike and I have stepped into those roles. I am Nonny and Mike is Poppy

I'm currently pregnant with my first. My husband and I want at least two. We both grew up with siblings and want to give that experience to our children, but we will also play it by ear. Kids are expensive and I want to be able to give them opportunities and be able to get them involved in things. So at least two and we'll go from there.

We have 2 children - one boy and one girl. I wouldn't mind having a couple more. Although, that's on hold for the time being. My husband isn't working, and we don't have insurance. It shouldn't be that much longer before he gets back to work. It's just that in between time we have to deal with. lol

I have one child and have lost three through miscarriages. Before you feel sorry for me, it has not been easy, but I have learned to treasure what I have. Life does not always go as planned but we learn so much along the way. I do not know of a time when having children is easy from the morning sickness, to labor and deliver, to child rearing, to bills, sickness, homework, social issues, etc. I can tell you, though, that anything worth doing in life is by far hard work and dedication. It means stepping out of our safe zone. I know that there are challenges in this day and age but I can tell you that challenges will always be there and have always been there. That is what makes the whole task worth doing. You take it day by day, trust in God, and do your best. It is a wonderful thing to get older and have the joy of your children around you. Do not limit your children to just your family. There are many children (nephews, nieces, etc.) that also need help. Sometimes it only takes a kind word or a smile to bless someone.

I would like to have 2 kids. I don't want to increase the population and more over i want my kids to give best of everything ,I mean education,food etc So i want two kids.You can ask me then why don't you have only one kid but for that i would say that being a lone kid is boring for him/her,If they are two kids then its very happy small family

I know i am super young to talk about children but if you'll be asking me, ill always wanna a have a small family then. Meaning i only want to have a small number of childrens. I want to have to kids, a girl and boy. It is also awesome to have a twins, i love dressing them up and play with them. But up to now, i am still very not ready to have one. Because i know for sure it would be a very difficult job!

I have only one son and that is all for me. As you said, its the economy...what my husband and me earn is just enough to enjoy life, give him a good education and save a tidy sum for our future.

hi wanghui0210, my dear friend, we had a baby girl just a year back. i mean she turned one on this february twenty eighth. and we need just one. in this time it is very hard and expensive t have more kids and then giving them all the right things, good education , meet all their expenses, it is really tough to be very frank, so we are not planning for any more . we have a girl and we are very very happy with her. she is so sweet, that we dont even feel like having any more kiddos , yes, it would have been possible if we had a twin in the first shot, but that didn't happen so , it will be one.

Whenever the day comes I get married and am ready to start having kids, I want at least two. I would like three or four, maybe five, but we'll have to see how that all works out. I would prefer a bigger family than a smaller one.

Like you, I also wanted to have two kids: a boy and a girl. I don't want to have a lot of kids in the future because they're too much to handle.

I want to have two kids. I'm not concerned about their gendre.... but just a company for each other. many people just stop with one kid. But I personally fell that there should be two kids. Because, when they are growing, one will be a companion for the other. And even after the days of the parents, they will have one blood relation to care for and to share happy or sad days. Bringing up two kids might be little challenging... but it will be fun growing up them.

I have one boy. I would like to have more children, but maybe one more not two because like you said it is not so easy to raise children in today's world. If I have another child, I don't mind at all if it's another boy or a girl.

I have 5 boys,but i want a girl so bad.

as the global populstion is markedly incteasing so i have decide to have only one

I originally wanted to have one boy and one girl too. But then my 2 kids are both boys, so maybe after a few more years we might try for a girl. If its still a boy then I guess that's it. I don't want to keep on bearing kids so that I could have a girl. Three is the maximum that we are willing to have. We have to be wise because raising up kids is not easy, there are so many things to consider, especially finances. For now, my two boys are already quite a handful.

As for me I would want to have two. I am now carrying a child and came to know that it is a girl. I am really thankful to God. I would love to have just one more and pray for that to be a girl again. Yes, it is too expensive to bring up more than two children in this modern society, and I feel that I won't be able to afford to raise more than two kids.

Hi there! I've seen how lonely families are with having only one children. I have a relative who has one child and I sometimes notice the kid is lonely. He doesn't have anyone to play with. It is an advantage of having one kid only. My relative said that they are able to give their son whatever he likes. Expenses are lesser with a small family. If I'm going to have kids of my own I would like to have at least 3 or maybe 2 will do. Hopefully it would be a boy and girl. It's hard to take care of a big family. Especially the expenses on education for the kids. If I will be rich enough I wouldn't mind having many children hehe. But if God wanted me to have many children unexpectedly, it's still ok. Ciao!

I have two sons of my own and one step son that I helped my husband raise.

If I going to have kids I want 2, one girl and one boy. I have 2 siblings so we are five in the family. It is difficult to raise kids, back then our grandparents have so many kids but these days it is not practical to have more kids. I think the average is 2 or even 1 life is so hard now. I'm very thankful to my parents that they had a family planning that I had only 2 sisters. Sometimes I want to have a boy sibling but it ok even I don't have.

I prefer having four kids since we are also four in the family. Its fun and merry. So if given a choice i will raise four also. But in return i have to look after the stability of my family in terms of finances so that i will nto have problems in these cases.
