How many is your limit?

[smjmekg]

Just wondering how many kids everyone thinks is enough? I'm not trying to start a "XX many kids is way too many and you're crazy to have them" debate...just wondering what your limit is.  


I told DH 2 or 4, I wouldn't have just 3. I want 4 but I don't know when we'll get to number 3 let alone number 4...

2 - we're done!!!  

When I was younger, I used to think I wanted 3 kids, but once I actually had one, I realized how much time and effort goes into raising a child, and how much of yourself you need to be prepared to give.  I'm having a kind of down day so this might be influencing my mood - well, it probably is - but I just don't think I could handle more....I feel maxed out at 2!!

DH is from a big family - one of 5 kids - and he also only wants 2.

My husband is an only child and he only wanted 1, but when he met me I had one already so we are having one together. I'm having a girl so my husband wants to try again for a boy. So I am looking at 3-4 kids and I'm ok with that.

I voted for 2. I wouldn't mind 3 though. But my mom had 5 and I LOVED growing up in a big family - someone to always talk to or play with. Sure we got mad at each other, but there was enough siblings to find a new one to talk to! LOL! We are all super tight now - except for my crazy older brother.  He really is crazy and could use some prayer, but then again, couldn't we all?!

I have 2 and working on #3, I always wanted 4, but if the Lord wants me to only have the 2 I got then I will take it!!! Hubby wants only 3, but he said if we can afford 4 we can go for it!
