I do not have any children, my brother has 6, my best friend has 5 and most of the other couples I know have 2. How about you? Would you have more if you could? If money was no object would you have a really big family?

Birth experiences tend to vary. I had a relaxing first labor in water pool and then the complication of a retained placenta. I was therefore worried about my second birth but it was fast and I didn't have much pain last for long.

Hi carmelbg, I love kids. though sometimes they are naughty and mischievous, they are still innocent and lovely. Yeah, occasionally they might show tantrum in anytime unexpectedly. Anyway there are always certain appropriate ways to cope with this. In my primary school days, I always helped my neighbors to look after their young children. It was mostly while the couple having some social activities or other personal affairs in the evening, whereas some moms were busy preparing festive cookies, or any other house chores, or they had to stay away from their house for a short while Since I love children very much I was keen to have my own kids after married. But it’s sarcastic indeed that I had to wait for 3 years long I then gave birth to my first child. Now my kid is an adult. He works and stays in a big town in another state here. We keep in touch often via cell phone. I still should thank God though giving me only this one and only beloved son I’m glad as well I have many nieces and nephews. There are kids of both my husband’s as well as my siblings. Take care and happy posting!

Personally I do not have any Biological children, but I do have 4 god children and others in my life that have called me Mom, because I have been like a Mom to them. But I was never able to carry any children full term, otherwise I would have 4 as I have had 4 miscarriages, but personally I feel God was in control and knew best. But I would have Loved to have children, and personally sometimes wish I was rich enough to help rescue some of the kids out there that no one else seems to want as well.

hi carmelbg, Children...... I love the children. Laughter and jokes kids can eliminate stress and burnout in the work. Now i already have two children. But i still feel lonely. I want my house atmosphere seemed more crowded again. with the busy atmosphere of small child's voice, would make me more comfortable at home. I still plan to add another childs... I want to have five kids.

But i would really like to have twins girls, I hava a son and the other three kids are boys too. So it would be nice to have a girl.

I have three children. My older son is 14 years old. My toddler son is 2 and a half years old. My baby daughter is almost 5 months old. My two oldest children have a 12 year age gap between them. If money wasn't an option I wish I had 2 other children say 2 girls that are 7 years old and five years old. If that was the case traveling on a plane would cost a lot of money. So it is just as well that I have three children and not as many as five children. Sadly after my daughter was born I severely bled and am lucky to have survived that experience. I have been told if I did have another baby the same event might happen. I am happy with having my three children.

I only have one child as of the moment. My sister has two children. There are only two of us in the family, my sister and I. Do our parents have big families on each of their side. My father comes from a family of 13 children and my mother comes from a family of 12 children. Well, that was it during the early times. But now at this present times, it would be difficult to raise and support such great number most especially with respect to food and education.

I have three children. No problem with having more children. But we were only blessed with three, and I am happy with that. As it is now, I was glad I didn't have more as my husband left us in this world and I am left as single parent. Being a single parent, it is not easy to have three children, how much for more than three? I would like to have a big family if money was of no concern.

We could not have biological children. But we adopted a little girl and now we are a happy little family. If I had more resources and probably a few years younger I probably would have gone for another adoption. The pathetic condition in our country of children given for adoption really makes me feel that every one who can and want to adopt must do so immediately as this would save at least one life.

We have two sons and we are happy as it is... but, if we could be assured of a girl, we might have thought of going for the third... ha ha ha... i think, it is better one or two... at best three... it's not only money, probably time is the main restricting factor for having more...

Only one daughter, Rila. She is now 13. We are very happy to have one. This was our plan all along, to have only one child. We dont have any plan also to have any more.
