How Many Children Do You Have?

When I was a teenager I always thought that I wanted a big family. Lots and lots of children. Wow, it didn't take long for reality to sink in that it isn't easy being a mother. I had my daughter, Destiny when I was 22 and my son, Justice when I was 28. I had my tubes tied after I had my son due to some female problems that I had. So, I can't have any more children unless I'm in that 1 in 1,000 women who still get pregnant after their tubes get tied. lol So, my question for all of you out there, how many children do you have? Do you plan to have more?

Hi my friend I only have one child, a 25 year old son. When I was younger, I always thought I wanted a boy and a girl. After I had my son, I was told I probably shouldn't have any more children because I had so much trouble with him. So I didn't. Now I'm kind of glad I only had one. After going thru all the trials and tribulations of childhood and teenhood and now adulthood, I think once in enough! lol Have a great day, Char

I'm currently six months pregnant with my third child. We planned to have three all along, so this will probably be our last. I love motherhood, but children are a lot of work.

We have two grown daughters. they are both married and happy. We miscarried 4 babies. I finally had to have a hysterectomy. I so wanted more kids but that is out of the question now.
