How many children do you have or plan to have?

I have 3 kids for now and i hope that they are enough because i want to provide good for them and if i have another one i am afraid i will not be able to afford it since i am the breadwinner and if i stop work then we will not have any income, that is my stand for now, 3 is enough and happy for me. Sometimes they fight but hey that is normal, they are all grown up now, 7, 5 and 4. I love all of them, yes i do envy small babies but i can always borrow small babies to my cousins.

Now to reflect, you're on baby #3, hehe! I'm 25.. no kids yet, but I'd like to have 2.

Adopt some kids! You can change a child's life by adopting. It's a good thing. Think about it.

I have 5 children en over 11 foster children. I Always wanted a lot of children (as I was under the age of 10 already), but if I could do it all over again I would not take children anymore or just one. Times changed and I don't see a future for them anymore. It's strange never understood people who said things like that but now I do. It's hard to make a good income to educate, feed, dress your children in a good way, to give them a good health care but also to pay for school, babysitting, etc etc. This all besides of the fact how many children are bullied day after day or misunderstood.

I have just one, a 14 year old named Miguel. Thats enough for me. As im divorced now.

Well they say the many the better :). But being practical today its better to have 2-3 children.

Husband and I only wants to have 2 children. We already have two, so we'll stop procreating now, lol. The number of children that a couple will have is a matter of choice. Husband and I took into consideration a few things when we discussed if we'll have another child when our son turned 7 years old. We counted our budget, children come with a price, food is not free, nor is education. So we included the expenses of another person into our monthly budget before we decided. Emotional health. Can we handle dividing our time and energy to two kids? I personally think that we made the right choice to wait until our son is old enough to take care of himself a bit. Now he even helps me take care of the baby by keeping her entertained while I do some chores. I have scoliosis, so we had my spine checked first just to be sure that I can still handle the pressure of a growing belly. I have to agree with your friend, having 4 kids is a big dream. But hey, if you can take care of four kids then by all means go for it. We can never say that parents of an only child is better than parents of multiple kids.

When I was a young person without my children I wanted to have a baby girl first and then two years later a baby boy. I imagined that would be perfect. I liked the idea of a small age gap between my children. My life didn't work out like that. Early in my marriage I had a baby son born and I was 22 years old at that time. Sadly my marriage only lasted for six years and then it ended in divorce. I had another relationship years later. At age 34 years old I had my next baby son born. I went on to have my daughter born when I was 36 years old. So I did things better my second time around with having children. I managed to have the two year gap between my http://www.mylot.com/images/emotes/happy.gifsecond son and my daughter. My older son is studying at a further education college and he will be going off to university in the autumn. My younger son is disabled and he is in a wheelchair. He needs catheter care. He goes to a main stream primary school and has a full time special needs assistant. My daughter is now 3 years old and she goes to a preschool plus child minder. My oldest son will be 18 years old this spring. My younger son is 5 years old and he will be 6 this spring time. My daughter will be 4 years old in the summer time. For each baby I had a home birth.

I plan on having two children. Raising children is hard and I'm a bit immature so I think I can only handle two children while still giving them adeqeuate care and attention. I want my children to turn out to be good people and I will spend all my extra time trying to teach them good morals. Again, I don't think I will be skilled at it so I canit handle too much. I think two is the right number.

I believe two is the more balanced number of raising any children, for them to receive much better love and attention.now i have two a boy and a girl,and my husband said that he need three more kids. I have a pair now,maybe in the further i will have one more.My husband only get one child so i will give him one more,He love children.he is a wonderful man,and i know he will take care of his children. I love babies,only thing i hate is the sleepless nights. People should have the amount of kids that they can take good care of them,but i want one are two kids.

I would say two is probably more than enough, for me. I can see myself having my hands full with two kids. I am definitely not ready to have kids yet.... So I am talking in about 10 years or so! Ha ha!

In this day and age I think two babies are more then enough. I would have been very happy with a boy and a girl and end it at that. I had two girls and even though part of me wished to have a boy I knew in my gut that was not going to happen. I knew I would end up with another girl. So I was delighted with the two girls who are now in their early thirtys I think more then two is just way to much unless you are rich and can stay home to take care of them. Its alot of work and committment not to mention alot of money for college.

I do not have any kids so far,having baby is not that easy for me i think. i used to have one but he is gone when he is only 3 months fetus in my uterus.I'm scared of suffering it again yet i love kids so much. Now i'm planning to have baby again and i would thanksful if i can have one.

I have a 3 year old son and I've always wanted a girl but for now, I'm done having children. I can't seem to find any good men who would make good fathers! My son's father is such a deadbeat. All he focuses on is women and making his "music". He was paying me child support but that stopped after a few months and he has two other kids by two different women. One of his other kids he's not allowed to see at all. And my husband (we are separated) is just an idiot so I don't want any kids by him! However... I think I might be pregnant. :(

In our time, the slogan by family planning department was 'we two, our three', so i have one daughter, 2 sons, aged 45, 44 and 40 respectively, next it was 'we two our two'; my kids have 2 kids. The present trend is 'JUST ONE KID'

I have 2 sons n 1 daughter. I should have wanted to have more but I'm not young anymore.

I'm planning to have 5 or more numbers of children whenever I get married. Because I want to have a large family. :)

I have already two kids, a boy and a girl, but I have plans to have additional three or four kids if there's a chance of having kids again. I'm a single mom now and I'm thinking of getting married to have someone beside me who can be my partner and be the father to my soon to be babies. I hope he can be a loving father to them. Babies are very cute, that's why I love to have more if given the chance.

Though having many children is indeed merrier but I only plan to have two.. maximum is three.. raising a child is really a big responsibility so I believe that having a baby should be planned and only have a child that you could raise well and you can give them all the necessities they will need..

I have 2 lovely kids. My wife and I can give good quality time to them both equally, so two is just right for us :)
