How many kids are enough for you? I think I could have at least 3. There are so many things you have to take into consideration when planning to have children. Expenses at the top of the list.

I have four children and I am maxed out! LOL I have the most kids of anyone that I know and it can be very challenging and tiring some days. I don't think that I had a certain number in mind when I started but I knew that I wanted more than one.


myLot reputation of 74/100. pamelalynne (145)  3 years ago

I have one so far and sometimes I wonder if I could handle anymore. But I want more anyway. I sure can't imagine having for though. My mom had three, both her sisters had three, and one of her brothers had one. My grandpa has 14 siblings. Cna you imagine that? I don't know how anyone could manage that many but still, 4 is quite a handful these days.

I don't agree. But to each their own. I always thought I would never had kids and now that I have my daughter I wouldn't trade her for the world.

I need 2 children(1 boy and 1 girl).I want girl to be born just like my girl friend and she wants a boy who looks just like me,so i want 2 children.


myLot reputation of 74/100. pamelalynne (145)  3 years ago

Good luck. Sometimes you just don't get what you want. I wanted a boy but had a girl but I'll never regret it. I love her anyway.

I have 4 children. We are deciding if 4 is "it" or will we try for one more. When you have this many children its very easy for one to feel left out if you're not careful. So on top of expenses we have to consider time.


myLot reputation of 74/100. pamelalynne (145)  3 years ago

Yes, I can see where time could be an issue. I only have one so far and I feel like I'd never have time for any more much less myself.

I have to be honest. I don't even want kids. I just do not want that responsibility. I think I would be better off without kids in my life. I know I am probably coming off as being selfish.


myLot reputation of 74/100. pamelalynne (145)  3 years ago

No you don't sound selfish. Some people are better equipped for kids and some just aren't. Having kids is your decision and if you don't want them then it is up to you and nobody should judge you because you don't want the responsibility.
