How many children did you want when you were a child?

Well I always said I would like to have 2 Children and I did lol I had one of each but I think if I could have I would have had more. But saying that 2 are enough lol but they are great and lovely Adults now I am so proud of them.

I always wanted a houseful, but now with 2 & #3 on the way I have learned otherwise & I am definately DONE! lol

I never even thought about having any. But I ended up having 4 and its great. I love having 4. And we are done.

I didn't really think much about it as a child. The first time I discussed it with my husband was after we became engaged. We both decided that we would like to have just two children as that was as many as we could afford to have and give them a good education. However, our situation improved and we had a third child. I wish now that I had more as they have all grown up and left home.

I wanted 12, yeah that's right, a big wapping 12!!! Crazy eh? my mom had 6 and my dad another 2, so i guess big families are big for me. But now that i've grown up and seen the world a little more, i want 3, max 4 kids, i hope i eventually get them. Hope things are going well for you Ash

When I was growing up, I was such a tomboy LOL. I didn't think about having kids back then. I didn't even want to get boobs LOL. As I grew older and out of that tomboy stage, my sister had children. They weren't raised the way I would have raised my own or the way we were raised when we were growing up. Those kids didn't respect their mom and dad like they should have. I seen alot of kids disrespecting their parents and I didn't think it was right. the parents would try to correct them and they would still back talk to them. I decided I didn't want to have any children. I do have a 15 year old daughter now though, but it wasn't planned. I made a mistake and I chose to keep her and love her and try to raise her the right way. We have had alot of ups and downs, but overall she is a pretty good kid. I also have three stepchildren from my husband. they are all grown up now though, thank God. I just don't have patience for children who do not mind and won't respect their parents.

I wanted at least 6, and would still like another 2 if I'm honest. I have 2 boys, aged 7 and 3 and Shrek really will not have any more. Until I was 27 I'd decided it was never going to happen at all as I have polycistic ovaries and rare periods, so I'm lucky really but I crave a little girl, who knows maybe one day....

I never even thought about having any. But I ended up having 4 and its great. I love having 4. And we are done.

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to have 8 children. I wanted to have 4 boys first, then 4 girls. So far I am doing pretty well...I have my 4 boys. I'm not sure if we will have anymore, but if it happens I will be more then happy. Too bad it's so expensive to raise children these days!

I don't think I ever wanted kids. I liked my nieces and nephews but didn't really want any. Life changes before you know it. I had 4. 3 boys and 1 girl make up my brood. I don't regret them. They were meant to be.

I wanted to have a gentleman's family - a girl and a boy. However, I ended up with a girl and two boys. I thought that was quite enough children to have so after that I decided to get a few dogs and I ended up with seven of these. I must admit, it was easier to rear the dogs than it was to rear the children. The dogs were never a problem. However, the children have all grown up now and I'm very proud of them.
