I always said I wanted to have 5 or 6 children but then when I was pregnant and had my first I said forget it no way I can do this so many times:) I know its all up to God but just wondering how many kids you think you might want to have.

Well for me i would just want to have one child because i want to make sure that i can and will give him or her everything that she needs,because if i would have three or five it might be hard to be bias with all of them someone would definitely be the favorite so i would only want one to prevent that from happening,hope you liked my response,have a nice day.

i think though that if you only have one you can give them everything but not a playmate i think its important to have a sibling for your child to grow up with and they can learn how to interact with them.

When I first gave birth to mt first son I said I only want two kids with the interval of four years. Now I got pregnant with my second one when my first was only 7 months old and there a baby boy again. I said to myself that it is enough or maybe ten years after a baby girl. I got pregnant last year and now I have three boys! I am done with saying I have enough! In fact I am planning to have a girl if I think we can manage it financially, maybe two or three years. Then that would be the time that it is enough. My husband says it too, he wants four kids.

I always wanted lots of kids..like 5 or 6...I ended up having three (my youngest has since passed on) BUT if at any time I am able to afford it I'd love to adopt several kids....My husband says I'd be the next Josephine Baker if we had the money LOL and he's right..I'd LOVE to adopt my own "rainbow tribe"..

I always wanted to have 5 or 6 children. But did decide to stop at four but then my husband passed away. After i met my new partner i changed my mind and we decided to have one more child together as we felt this would complete our family. So i ended up having the five i always wanted.

I used to wish that I would have at least 6 children or even more (he he) but unfortunately I only have one and that's not for lack of trying. But i am contented and i know that if God had wanted me to have more i would have had more. I am happy with my one and only child and I accept that there must have been a good reason why I didn't have more than one.

For the longest time I knew that I wanted 3 or 4 children. We had 2 girls then on the third we got our boy. We decided to stop there. If we had more money available to us then we probably would have kept going for at least one more. But we wanted to make sure we were able to provide everything we could for the three that we had. I love kids. We've talked about maybe adopting later down the road. A couple that is friends with my parents have adopted 5 kids in addition to their two. I think it is great that they have given those kids a good home. I'd like to be able to do that some day.
