i'm still 18 and i'm not yet married. but when i do get married, i want to have 2 children. i want to have only 2 children so that i will be able to manage both of them. my parents only have two of us as children and they manage both of us pretty well. how about you guys? how many kids do you want to have? and if you already have kids, are you already satisfied? or do you want to have more or the other way around?

wow that is indeed a handful. but that's okay. i'm sure your kids are great. it doesn't really matter how many you got just as long as you guys are happy.

I think I would have to agree with you and I would like to have two children. I think I would like to have a boy and a girl but I guess it would not really matter.

I have 3 kids all of them boys and I'm satisfied with it. Even if I wanted to have a baby girl, I couldn't because I got ligated when I delivered my 3rd son due to my health.

i am an only child and my hubby is one of 3 so we decided that we wanted 2 children...not just one (someone for them to play with) or not to be outnumbered by kids, thats why 2 is the perfect number!

Honestly, I didn't want any kids at all but then when I became pregnant and thruout my pregnacy, I knew I couldn't give our daughter up. She means the world to me. She is and always will be a single child thou. No more kids here.

I have 3 children, ages 19, 11 and 9. I am plenty happy with those I have and even if I could have more children wouldn't give having more a second thought. The two oldest are boys and the youngest a girl. That couldn't be more perfect, why mess with it?

My husband and I are expecting out first child at the end of August. We have always said that we want two also but I think we are going to have to wait and see what it is like being parents. You never know, we might change out minds and want more. There would be many things we would have to take into consideration like money and sanity - ha ha ha. My mom just had me and my sister and she said that she wished she would have had more kids. She has 7 brothers and sisters and she loved having a big family - I think about that and wonder if I might feel the same way in the future. We will just have to take it one kid at a time - I can't wait for this one to get here!

I have 4 children and I am very satisfied. I can't imagine life without any of them, they are my pride and joy and I love them to pieces.
