how many kids do you want to have

You want a small family  , medium  or big family  tell me  the reason why.    ... I want a  medium family so I can enjoy  and they can play together grow up together  a loving family so when I get older I won't feel alone.

I think we will stick with 3 maybe 4. We want to be able to go on vacations and let our children experience things and travel. I feel if we had more than that we wouldn't be able to afford to do those thing and give our children those experiences. I think 3-4 children for us is a good size. We have also considered foster care. :)

I have always said that I want 3 children. A friend of mine, however, gave me the "warning" not to say you want more than one, until the first one comes along.  He wanted a whole slew of kids, and once he and his wife and had baby #1, they both decided she was all they needed and they are perfectly content.

At first I said 2 or 3. But now I say take one kid at a time and see what you can handle. If you plan too much in the future you might set yourself up for disappointment or unrealistic expectations.

I always said I just wanted one and since my boyfriend is older than me he has 2 teenagers a 16 and 14 year old and now he's having another son I think I'm just going to be content with the one since he seemed to be a long shot anyway but I've learned to never make plans because life just happens most of the time

I had always wanted 3 but my husband only wanted 2 - and now expecting our second I agree with him, we'll be done after 2, they'll be a bit more than 4 years apart. He feels like he's getting too old to keep starting over (he'll be 37 when this baby arrives and I'll be 31) and we both have further educational goals and career goals we are dedicated to achieving. We also don't really want to be outnumbered. I don't want to have more kids than I have hands. And I don't want to buy a minivan.

I have my son and daughter ages 4 and 5. They are from a previous marriage. I am now with the love of my life having baby number three a boy. And yes he loves my two like his own. But he has already talked about trying for another one in about three years. He loves my daughter so much but he knows she will never call him daddy and he wants a daddy's little girl so bad. And he says he has a feeling that the boy I am carrying now is going to be a mommas boy. So Idk I want to see how I feel in a few years. I may end up with a 4th (and final ).

I'd like to have at most 3 kids. If my husband and I are making more $$ in the future, then we would consider a fourth. My son is 5 months old and im currently 7 weeks pregnant with my second! Almost irish twins :D ive always wanted my children to be close in age, i have 3 older brothers and i always felt like an only child because they were so much older than me and we never on the same mental level. Its something that effected me emotionally as an adult so thats why its so important for me to have kids close in age.

I'd be happy with one more, preferably a little girl. I have a young (step) daughter that lives with us and is my world. She has a little brother on the way and is super excited. But I did miss helping raise her during the first few years, something I'd really like to experience with a little girl. But my fiance is quite happy with just two kids. Lol

Originally the plan was we wanted 3 kids and then I was going to get my tunes tied... well here I am 25 years old about to have our third baby in a few days and we decided a couple of months ago that we want a fourth baby all of a sudden. Two boys and one girl so really hoping the fourth will be another girl so we can have two of each :)
