It got me to thinking, how many children (if any) do you and your SO want/plan to have?
DH and I are currently settled on at least two with the possibility for a third. I really want three but he is unsure. Obviously, all of this could change when we actually have our first child, but that's our general plan for now.
ETF: added in the correct link!
Re: 100 grandchildren!?
One here too, for the reasons listed above. Also, I'm not getting any younger (just turned 33), so I'll be 34, close to 35 by the time we have our first assuming all goes smoothly. I don't think I have the patience to have 2 really small kids, so unless I could be ok with having a second kid by 39/40 (which I'm not), it's not happening.
I would like 2 and DH would like 1 so we'll see how it goes.
@thisismynickname Well you could be a jackass like my brother and have 3 kids that you just ditch at home with your spouse while you play in your 8 soccer & football leagues.
I read an article about siblings not long ago and it said "Siblings are the people you will probably know the longest in your life."
Simple yes but I had never thought about it like that. Since I am the oldest I will probably/hopefully not out live the other 3. So I will know them from the day they are born till the day I die. Nobody else will come close to that.
I want that for my kids. Obviously you never know what life has in store and I do not presume to think what I want now will be possible/feasible when we start TTC but at least 3 hopefully 4 is the current plan.
