How many kids do you want to have

dazed2confused · July 2010

just curious what the 'average' was

we actually want 2.5 (depends if we get a boy and a girl with the first two)

We actually already have names picked out. We're following his family tradition and having each of their names begin with R.

We want a dog, and that's it. ;p

However, we're open to the possibility of kids as well.

I put two but I think we are going to start with one and see what happens. We definitely won't be having any for a few years.

maiyae · July 2010

I also put 2 but that could change after the first one, most of our friends already have kids so we get see how much fun and work it is when you have more then one child either way we'll be happy.

I put 2, but maybe 3. We already have 2 dogs and we're ready to start our family!

Just one!! I only wanted two and since he came with 3 and I already have 1 I really could careless if we have another but he really wants one together!!

I used to think I wanted 4 or 5 kids...then my sister had two children and I realized that while they are a joy to have it takes a lot of work. FI and I have talked (at first he didn't want children and that was almost a deal breaker for me) but now he has decided he really, really wants at least one but is open to more seeing how we do with one child. I put two because I think I will be pretty adamant on not having an 'only child.' We have thought about names as well-more me being like 'what do you think of this name?' and him replying either yay or nay.

Two or three would be ideal. FI is an only child and I think he realized how awesome it is to grow up with siblings, so I've finally talked him into more than just one. If we have a third might depend on the sex of the first two. But we've already talked names too! The girl's name will be Claire.

I want four, he wants two. Preferably two sets of twins to get each stage over in just two runs.. if things could work out how we want them. I work with babies every day and he is never around them, so I'm more inclined to want them around in the future... and lots of them!

trey&angel · July 2010

Well I already have one, but would like one more...we will just see where we are at in a few years!

Yayyyyyy!!!!! I am not the only one!! People look at me crazy when I say I want twins. I love kids and I have been around a lot of twins in my life. I definitely want at least one set of twins and more wouldn't bother me. ;)

Jen72682 · July 2010

I'm the same 2.5 kids! I really want 1 boy and 1 girl, but FI just wants 2. I know that if I have 2 boys I'm going to want to try for a girl! I need a shopping buddy!

kelleyku05 · July 2010

One, if that. We'll see what happens!!!

Blondnette · July 2010

I'd like 3 and he wants at least 2 so we'll see.

lchauvin87 · July 2010

I want twins too! Just get it out of the way in one run...and I was practically an only child because my brothers and sisters were so much older so I know how lonely it can be! My grandma was a twin, so I am always hoping that it skips a generation or something and I will get lucky...

kissamary · July 2010

Twins run in both generations of his family so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

<p>I would have to say that Claire is an excellent choice (and also my name)! ;) Just don't name her Clarice! I get that stupid Silence of the Lambs joke all the time!</p>
