How many kids would you want/planning to have?

and have you and your SO talk about this before marriage?

FH and I both agree we definitely want two kids, but we wouldn't mind having a 3rd one down the road.. however, 3 would be our absolute limit...

we aren't planning to have them for at least 1-2 yrs.. but with almost everyone around us being pregnant, it's hard not to be in a babyish mood

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

We've talked about this alot. I would like 3. DH wants 2.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

we both wanted two. and we have two. so we are done

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

2 or 3

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Before we got married we agreed that we weren't sure if we even wanted kids at all.

<<-----Then came our HM baby.

The week I got home from the hospital...as I was lying in bed, still in pain from my c/s DH says "We HAVE to have another one".

I'm still on the fence but DH is pretty certain he wants one more. There's a good chance we'll have one more, just not for awhile.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Anthony wants even numbers so 2 or 4 for him. I don't think we would be financially capable of ever having 4 so 2 is fine with me. Two kids is easier to put through college and give them a wedding.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

I told DH, let me get through pregnancy #1 and then we'll talk!

We want to wait until next year to TTC, but neither one of us are spring chickens!

I can't think of a better souvenir to bring home from your HM

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Yes, we discussed this at length before getting married. We both want two, however, I said let's wait and see how we feel after one

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

DH and I agree that we will have 1 more, in a perfect world we would love to have 2 more but it is way too expensive today and we want to be able to go on vacations and have the exta's that I never had when I grew up.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

We have 1 girl who is 6. I don't want anymore kids & DH does. This is an issue for us now. He respects my wishes but I know he would love to have another baby.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

We have talked about it at length and definitely want two kids. I want a third, he is on the fence. Of course, I may be too after the first 2 kids come, so we will see what happens. I'll take whatever God gives me though.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Both me and my wife agree. One child.

More than one means more financial responsibility. I would rather make sure we are financially set with one child... rather than hoping we can survive with two.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Two. No more than that, we couldn't afford it.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

I personally feel one of the best gift you can give your child is a sibling. I can't imagine my life without my brother, I don't know how I made it through those 2 1/2 yrs before he was born



I have spoken to a few poeple about being an "only child" and I have gotten both negative & postitve responses. This is a very touchy subject w/ DH & I. Marissa has never asked for a sibling, but she is still young.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

we talked about it a lot before we got married. We both want (wanted) a large family, so we started trying right away. Now we are glad we did as we are facing infertility problems we didnt expect. We decided if we are blesssed to have a child, we will keep trying and take as many as god wants to give us...thinking that its not likely in the end we would end up with more then one or two since we need to have treatments in order to get PG.

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

Two, a girl first, then a boy 2 1/2 years later. That's "the plan" at least, we'll see what God says!

Re: How many kids would you want/planning to have?

We talked about two before we got married.. but now we aren't so sure, we think one might be if for us.
