How many children do you want?

I have got 3 kids am a single dad to them all, 2 girls and a lad, I think 3 children should be the maximum anybody has. From a few points of view A) Financial to look after 3 kids take a lot of time and money. B) Practical point of view and also spreading your love around more than 3 kids I guess will be hard. Also the worlds population is increasing so I think anymore than 3 kids is adding extra population. Though I understand accidents happen 2 of mine were concieved while we were both using precautions but its amazing how life finds a way.

My husband and I talk a lot about kids. It was a subject that came up even when we were just dating, as we both wanted kids and it was good to know that we were on the same page and such. We would like to have a slightly bigger family than what we're used to (as we both come from a family of two kids). We would like to have four to six kids. For some reason, the more talked about it, the more we realized that we wanted more than just two kids, that we wanted a fairly big family.

Before I had my children I wished to have a girl and then a boy. If I had only been able to have one child I would have chosen to have a girl. I am ever so lucky because I have three children. I have a six month old daughter, a two year old son and a fourteen year old son. I am not planning to have anymore children. My toddler son is disabled and he will need a wheelchair when he is older. Good luck to you regarding you having two more children to add to your two lovely daughters.

i have always felt two kids would be enough for me, one girl and one boy. but i am single and, right now, pets are enough for me.

Hi momtrying2makeit Well, it depends on how hurt giving birth is. If it is not too hurt, then maybe 2 (boy and girl) is enough. But if it's hurt, then one is enough. I haven't thought about something like this, but I know in the future the time will come. Hope in this new year you can have 1 more children Anyway, why do you like children? I think children make us busy, take our leisure or "alone" time.. That's what my mom always say..

2....never more than 2

I always wanted 2 Children and that is what I got a Boy and a Girl they are both Adults now hard working and good People and I am very proud of them

I have six boys, and we feel that our family is complete now.

I want one or two. I think more than that would be soooo much work! Well, actually, I think even one or two would be sooo much work, but I know it will be worth it however many I have!

I am glad to know that you have acknowledged that you are blessed with two already. Like you I wanted to have four children but my husband and I discussed this from we were dating and decided that we would only have two children. The main reason for him to say that at the time is that he was from a poor family and he had it extremely difficult as one of six children. He aims never to repeat this so this was his stance. Me on the other hand always wanted a large family but as I had my last boy I vowed not to go through this birthing experience again because the midwife did not want to delieve me because she was not being paid for this. I had paid the doctor and I suffered but God in his mercy saw me through and as the doctor came she only said breath down and my baby was born. You may say why bring this up but this aims to show that even an experience can cause us to stand to our word. I still like large family and if that is the consensus of both of you, great. It would also be nice if both of you commit yourself to each other through marriage so put this on your agenda too!

I've been blessed with two kids. A girl and a boy so for me it's enough and nothing to ask for. But my husband still want more because he want to make our home merrier. He said he was happy with two but much more happier in five or more and I think more than five is too much and not a good idea.

I already have 2 boys. For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted 5 children - 3 boys and 2 girls. So.. I guess it is time to work hard, hard, hard :)

Wow It's interesting. But according to me Be blessed what He have given you. It is the best for both of you. In India it is declared legally that every parents can take not more that tow children whether they are both Boys or Girls. Only two is enough. It is mainly declared for the fast growing population in India. But still it is not under control because most the the villagers are uneducated.

I think I would probably want two. :)

Really never planned or thought how many I wanted but got 3 boys by first hubby and 2 by 2nd hubby so I got a full house! 4 boys and 1 girl

I want two or three children. I think having one child only the child would be very lonely. My youngest sister in someways is an "only" child because she is much younger than the rest of us so often if those of us who are adults dont want to play shes left alone to her own devices...where as my other two sisters and i always had each other to play with.

hi momtrying2makeit, god has presented me two male children,neither my wife is ready to deliver one more children or nor i am ready to look after them,there are lot of troubles all are facing with the children with their education,life and their families,so it is better to stop having child,it is better to adopt one child,have a nice day

Well, I may be pregnant right now, and my boyfriend and I are hoping that the baby is a boy. We would LOVE to have at least two, but no more than five, kids sometime in the future. I absolutely LOVE children, so I would really be happy with ANY amount, and my boyfriend ADORES kids, and most of the time, that feeling is mutual. Lol.

hi there friend.. i only want to have one or two.... one boy and one girl heheh! i cant manage to have many children like more than two... i love babies..so much.. but i think when you have your own..its the real thing already.. heheh!and its very hard and tiring..so i prefer to have only two children.. whatever God give us.. im very blessed to have a special gift from Him... thanks!... happy mylotting!

I want like 6 or 7, maybe more (: I love kids, and I am so excited to be a mom. I can't wait until most of them are grown, and they come back for the holidays with their own children. I know that is definitely in the far, far future, but its something to think about and look forward to. In a big family, there is for sure never a dull moment!
