Hi Mylotters, we all are human beings and we have at least dream that once we will be a good mother or father, except few people. Although all the time we cannot be successful in our planning but there is no problem, if we plan about the size of our family. Those who are already parents, they should think whether they would plan for more children or not. But those are not yet, they can also plan that how many children they would like at their own. Now please share, "How many children do you have? or How many children do you like in future?"

I dont have kids. But when I was a the marriageable age, going was really tough, it was hand to mouth existence, most of the time. Because of this, I always thought that it is better not to have a child, than to have a child who would be looking at others and feeling wish I had one of those things, and me as a mother would not have managed to give him or her simple things, which might have been his or her necessities. Effectively, only as many as we can afford. I still stand by that decision. I mean, I would say breed as many as you can feed. Everybody has plans with their own monies.

My dear sister Vandana, thank you very much for your response and sharing of your ideas. You have mentioned a very hard but real fact. It is really a painful matter for developing countries, where most of the people are fighting and surviving from hand to mouth. Your expression has hurt me, because I cannot do anything for the poor people, who are not able to marry or get child because of their poverty. I have never thought in this way. I am also fighting with my two college going sons. But I am happy with my present position and earning, although it is not enough. I am trying to educate them with my limited earning. Have a very nice day.

In futute, i just would like to have a maximum two to three kids and that is enough for me. Let make the quality of children more important than the quantity. Since all things are getting expensive and there is a higher prices to study in private college, plenty of money must be spend and you need to save up some of your salary for your kids to avoid problem when your kids needs money to study. So plan your future and save up some money for them.

Except a few people? Mainly men (worldwide already since ages) leave and seem not to like children. I can hardly call that "few people". I have 5 children, been a foster mother for nearly 12 years. I love them all but if I could do it all over I would not have children anymore or perhaps one. It's not worth the pain, the trouble, my bad healthy, them being misunderstood and bullied.

Hi Kitty, thank you very much for your response and sharing of ideas. Good that you have already been blessed with 5 beautiful children. Now it a challenge for you to educate and feed them accordingly. I hope you will be able to educate them nicely but have to give a lot of labors for them. Have a very nice day.

Hi Aminul842700!
Having a family of my own is my dream also.. Setting aside the financial aspect, I would like to have a big family.. 4 to 6 kids maybe, but it is kinda hard now a days.. life today is not that easy and raising a kids is expensive.
In my financial situation maybe 2 kids is enough.

Hi Kitty, all woman can have a baby at 50 years or more but there would be heavy risk both for mother and children. At this age baby can be disabled. I found it from one of the US medical reports. Just now I cannot refer it. You can believe or not up to you but I am not ready to fight against you. It is not easy to nurse the baby at this age. It is really difficult matter. After 35, there are more possibility to get diabetic disease and if a lady conceive with her diabetic disease, then it is sure that the baby would be disabled. You can believe or not it id your matter.

Hi cttolledo, thank you very much for your response and sharing of your ideas. dear friend, it would be really hard for you because by this time your are 33. You can conceive up to 44 years. You have almost passed your golden time. Golden time is up to 35. After 35 conceive is risky. However, still time is there to take a good number of children. Have a very nice day.

@aminul842700 who says you can only conceive till the age of 44 years????? I never heard such a nonsense. There are who already are not able at the age of 25 anymore and there are who can over the age of 50 years old. Like my grannies! A friend of mine is close to 50 and pregnant again (10 children already plus 3 grand children). And this all without any medical help at all. In my country more and more women get pregnant for the first time over the age of 44 because they are forced to make carreer first and make money. And even if you are not able to get pregnant yourself you still can with help of a doctor. Aren't you living in a country where this is very common? Even 70 year old women get pregnant!

Growing up i am always the one looking out for younger siblings and cousins and even my nephews and nieces. When i turned into an adult, i always had it in my mind that i will have just two kids, a boy and a girl, it should be a pair so that all will be even. Now, i have 3 kids and they are the joy and sorrows of my life but i love them. My youngest always would ask me when can i have another baby so that she could play the elder sister, woaahhh easier said than done. For me, 3 is enough, not planning for more kids because we cannot afford it anymore. Raising kids cost lots of money.
Three is a riot already and fine with me.

When I was younger, I never thought I wanted kids. Now I have a daughter who is 9. I have a son who is 4. I have given up my employment to be home with them. I love it, and them. They are only this young for a short time. I don't want to miss anything. Given my age, I don't think I will have anymore. I am happy with the 2 I have.

Through the entire time that I was growing up, I always thought that I would have a large family when I was grown. However, this is not something that has proven to be the case. Instead, I am the mother of two of the most wonderful children in the world and those two children have me fulfilled. The reason that I didn't opt to have the large family that I'd always dreamt of was because of the fact that I knew that I would not have been able to financially raise a really large family.

Hi Doran thank you very much for your response and sharing of your ideas. I am really to know that you are heavily pleased with your kids and you have termed that they the best kids in the world. Probably all mothers think that her children are the best children.
There is a story. Once a mother was given an apple and it was told her to give it to the best child of the assembly. After distribution of apple, she came back and told the authority that she did not get any other child, who is better than her child. As such, she has given the apple to her own child.
Have a wonderful and very lovely day for you, your hubby and your two most beautiful kids.

I have two little ones. Either of them where planned but they are very much loved and wanted and I would want it any other way. No we don't have a lot of money and I don't think there would ever be truly a good time for us to have kids because there will never be a perfect time in anyone life.
In the future I would like to have two more. I'm sure we will have two more since I get pregnant easy as long as my birth control works the way it should then we should expect another baby for a few years. I want both of my kids out of diapers/pull ups and into underwear before we try for another baby.

Hi aminul!
Kids definately are the best things to family!To tell you the truth,I'm too young to be a father but deep down in my mind, I'm mature enough to be a father.Money could be a big issue when you want 4 or more kids.At least my plan is to have 4,I want a big family.

We are hoping to have 2 children, although we are quite happy with the family we have now, so if we only have the one, we will be content as well.

Hi Cute Penguin, thank you very much for your response and sharing of your ideas. It's good, if you have two children. It would be most desirable, if you are blessed with one daughter and one son. At least one is also better than nothing. Have a nice day.

Hi eagle, thank you very much for your response and sharing of your ideas. Yes, still you have chance to be married and you may get babies. But your life partner should be less than 35 to get health baby, as per the medical report of a US University. Now I could not provide the reference of that report. A lady can conceive up to 44 years for a healthy baby but it is better to take babies before 35. Have a very ni8ced ay.
