How many kids would you like to have ? Would you like to avoid kids at all ? Would you only like to adopt them ? Would like to have more than 2 kids ? Do you think people who do have more than 3 kids can do justice in giving proper attenion to each one of them ? Do you dread the very idea of having kids and the responsibilties that coe with it ? Do you think having kids is wonderful ?

Well my husband and I have talked about having 3 children and have only been blessed with one, a beautiful son. I love children and if we are able to have more then that would be great! We have briefly talked about adoption but it is not something we are thinking of at the moment. Children are a joy and they add a lot of fun and life to our marriage. I think I would be devastated if I wasn't able to have children. I couldn't imagine my life without my son. It is a lot of work raising children, but I wouldn't give it up for anything. I enjoy watching him grow, learning new words, having a conversation with him, playing games, and other things like that. He is the joy of our lives :)

I am a mother to 4 and have my 5th and last on the way. Ideally I would have liked to have stopped at 3, but things happen and this is how it turned out. It's fun having a big family. I think we do a good job giving the time and care each child needs and deserves.

I have a 14 month old little boy. I know we want one more for sure. We'll decide on more from there. I would really like to have 4, but I do not want to be one of those families that can't afford the kids we already have, yet keep having more. I think having my son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He brings my husband and I both so much joy. We had him right away, we conceived during the honeymoon. We've never regretted it.

A million if time and life permits! i just love kids and want to be always producing them!!!!!!! i like the idea of adopting also as it help an underprevildge boy/girl. Kids are the best gift to Human Beings from GOD, they are like blessings to humans. I feel with every kid borned on this earth makes me belive on the system of man hood and also guarantees us Humans stay on earth for a long time.!!!!

I loved having my children. I loved being pregnant...even the throwing up for months. I loved the feeling of a baby growning inside of me. I have 4 children and love everythihng about them. There are days I wonder what I was thinking having 4 since the youngest 2 fight alot, but I would not change having them for anything. I would actually love to have another child, but I had to have a hysterectomy, so it is impossible. I don't think that having many kids takes away attention to any of them. It teaches them that the world doesn't evolve around only one of them. It also teaches them responsibilities.

I would love to have kids one day once I marry. For now I dont know if I am grown up enough for either but its okay. When the time is right all will fall into place. I believe God has perfect timing in all. Yes I would love to have at least 2 kids. But I have a thing with odd numbers. So if I had more than 2 kids it would have to be 4. Its odd to be so odd but its how I am! So I want at least 2 possibly 4 but no more! :)) Those with lots it might be hard but easier on some because they love the kids!

I would like to have two kids. I already have one, a girl, I would like to have a boy in a couple of years. I think if you do have more than three kids you can give each one of them the proper attention. Having kids is wonderful and something that you will not forget, especially when you meet your child for the first time.

I have three children ages 11, 7, and 4months I think I have done a great job at giving them all the attention and allowing them to be themselves. I think I have the perfect number of children. By allowing the time between them my dh and I were able to give their younger years all the one on one they needed. Now they want us to leave them alone more.

I have two boys already aged 4 1/2 and 13 months, and I would love to have two children more. My husband does not agree though, but he has promised that I can have a girl so hey at least I will have three, and maybe four. I am still you, 26, and if it was up to me, I would have two more children with about two years apart, and I would like to have my third child, when I am 29-29. I think it is better to have four than three children, because this way there is no middle child. I also do think that it is more than possible to give attention to all the children. I am very concerned with children's rights issues, and my husband and I have been discussing the idea of being foster parents, when our children start going off to college, or maybe even adopting. There are so many children out there, who just need someone to take care of them, love them and protect them.

I'm 20 years old and I've been around young children my whole life. My mother runs a small daycare in my house and thus I have to deal with children in my house on an everyday basis, but I don't mind it. When the time is right I'd like to have two children, ideally one boy and one girl.

I think I would like to have two kids.One girl and one boy.Having is a wonderful think,I believe.However,the process of having them may not be comfortable.Do you think so?First of all,when you are pregnant,your stature will be not good as before.Secondly,maybe you will not be able to go on doing your own work .As last,you have to experience the pain of giving birth to a child.As a matter of fact,I really like to have kids,however, I am very afraid of experiencing the pain of having a baby.

As many as I can ,it depend on how many wife will live with me as I'm from a place where polygamy is tolerate. So it really depend one God decision...I'm a believer and my life is in the hand of God and it's Him that'll decide for me.From now I can't decide how many kids I would like to have as maybe God will not give me the opportunity to even have one (hey it's God that decide what you will be if you are a believer in God). Giving birth is the most beautiful action a Human being can make.

My husband and I have two girls, one who is two and a half and the other is two weeks old. We always wanted 4 kids, but now we are questioning that. Maybe because right now we are getting no sleep, lol. I know my husband wants a boy but I do not know if I could take it, it is so tough now. Maybe if are financial situation is good we may try for another. I love kids but my problem is that I get stressed to easily. I do have to admit the second is easier than the first, just because we know what to expect

I don't want to have kids because I have a short temper. I can't even take care of my brother when he was just a baby.
