Positive Thinking: 9/25

I give credit to parenting (yes, I'm a lurker!) for the idea for this thread although it has been minorly modified.

If money and time (age) were no object, how many children would you have?

I seriously think I'd want 5. Is that crazy?

I feel like the only reason I've limited how many I want in reality is because of money.

2Chat Icon One per adult



Exactly! I was in an airport one day and a woman had 3 children - one looked about 4 or so, then a toddler and an infant. She was changing the baby and the other two were running around and it occurred to me, if you had two you could kind of keep an eye on one if the other needed your almost full-attention. Throw another in to the mix and it gets WAY too complicated for me!

I also believe in population control! Chat Icon One in, one out!

Right now I'd settle for one.

In a perfect world, I would've wanted 3 or 4.

Atleast 3.
Possibly more, since $$ is not an issue.

Re: Positive Thinking: 9/25

If they can all be as good as DD - I'd have 10. Seriously, I always wanted 4 or 5, but realistically, 3 would be perfect. In the end it's whatever we are blessed with.
