This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, cause a good friend of mine just had her third (!), and I still haven't started yet. I always wanted lots of kids (like 3-4), but now I'm afraid we won't be able to have that many because of age, finances, etc. So I'm just curious what you guys want for your future families.
I want 3-4 although everyone including my DH tells me i am nuts. DH wants 2. I think that if we have 2 and I still want more, I will probably be able to negotiate a third child. :)
I think two. DH already has a son, so that'll be plenty for us!
You should make this a multiple choice poll. I would say 2 or 3. I don't want only 1 and I hopefully won't have 4, unless the first 3 kids are the same gender.
We are planning to have 3 in total. DH has a son and we plan to add 2 more to the crew!
We have a son already and if i could choose I would have another boy and 1 girl. Of course i will be happy with whatever we end up with.
I voted for two, but it's really two or three. SO is fairly set on the idea of two kids, but I'd be open to three (we're both partial to our own experiences growing up - he has one younger sister, I have two older brothers).
I only want 1. I'm an only child and really enjoyed my childhood. FI wants 2 because he has a brother who he's pretty close to. We'll see who wins. I'm leaning towards the person who has to carry the kid for 9 months, give birth and sacrifice her body.
My absolute ideal, assuming we have a big enough house and are financially okay, is 5 kids. I am absolutely willing to compromise down to 2 or 3 though. I have just always wanted a BIG family :)
I want two: his minimum is three! If he's willing to do the third pregnancy, no problem!
If I can afford it, I would love to adopt 5 or 6 :) If I am having them- probably only 0, or 2.
I think I want 3, but thinking about money makes me want 2. But pregnancy isn't easy for me b/c of the awful migraines that I get, and I don't know if I can imagine doing this again and taking care of a baby at the same time, so if it's just one or one and an adoption, it will all be fine with me.
We've said we'd like 4, but we'll see as we go. I have a feeling it'll be 3.
I voted for 2. We have 1, and we definitely want more, but at most we will actually have 1 more. Then, we might adopt, so 2-3. It's too early for me to think about adoption, though, but right now I am leaning towards one more pregnancy for me then adopting from China (or elsewhere). If I don't get pregnant again, I think I am OK with that, though, and we would be very likely to adopt (but maybe just 1)...wow, that was a high maintenance answer!
I'd like to have 2-3. Might have fertility issues, so may need to adopt one or all of our kids (which is totally fine). I just want to be a mom someday (after the wedding! lol)
We both would love to have 2 kids. At this point, due to fertility issues, I'll be happy just to be able to have one, though!!! And then we will probably adopt a second child. :)
I already have an 8 year old son. We are planning to TTC right after the wedding. We are thinking either 2-3 all together. It will depend on my health and I think that if I have another boy I might want to try for another...but then again I don't think I could handle three sons 
I like that the "none" option has an exclamation point. I don't want "none" - I want "none!" My fiance wants the benefits of a kid, without ever having to alter his schedule to take care of that kid. So I am "none!" but he is "none...?"
I am super psyched up for us to be aunts and uncles, though. I like kids in small doses, I just know that motherhood is not for me.
We have one child already, and may consider having another or adopting. 2 would probably be as many as I could handle though.
Ha. I want 4 :) But will be happy with 2 and prob stop there. Hubby may have a financial heart attack otherwise :)
I wanted a ton when I was younger ... I'd like four now ... I think SO thinks two is a lot. I'm one of five and grew up on a block where most of the families had between 5-9 kids ... alas the fertility issues may have us heading for adoption or enough kids born at one time to get my own TLC show... which ever works.
We said we'd consider after each child, but I kind of want a small large family if that makes sense--like 4ish. Mostly we want to be able to help pay for their colleges (unlike my FSIL and FBIL) so we're being a bit more responsible/careful about how many children we'll have and we want to adopt/foster. That's pretty important to me. So we're thinking two biological (if fertility isn't an issue) and two foster-to-adopt (maybe siblings?).
Pregnancy has been interesting, so right now I keep telling hubby I might just be happy with one. :) But, he says he'd like our boy to have a friend/playmate, so we'll likely go for two.
I think 2... we could be tempted to go to three though, I think.
I'd love to have 3, but we might end up w/ just one. As long as we have at least one I'll be a happy camper.
I want three but Mr. B wants two....we'll see. I probably won't feel the itch to have a third if we manage to have on of each. I might also like to have 2 and then adopt one a little further down the road....
My SO informed me that he wants 11 to make a full football team. Gender doesnt matter... I havent even been able to tell if he is joking or not!
Im going for 2. I told him I will compromise with 2 and he can coach a football team on the weekends!
@anabri09: that is AWESOME! haha, seriously though...it really did make me giggle.
I want 2. FI wants 3. ....Either way, kids will (hopefully) be 3 or 4 years away! Let's see if he changes his mind after the 2nd one! ;)
We both would love to have children; however, we've agreed that we're not going to have them. We feel as though we're too old to really enjoy having them. We don't have the energy that we think is needed for raising small children. Plus, we don't think it's fair that we'll be in our 70's when the kid graduates from college...
Additionally, I have health issues that would make any pregnancy a high risk. DH isn't willing to risk my life for a child.
FI has one son, I have one son and we together have one son. We are a lovely blended family and we want two more. Once we knew what having our second child felt like -it was pure love! Even more than the first. You can't imagine how much more love you have, you don't even think it could exist. So, yes, one more for sure, two hopefully!
Realistically, we want two. If we suddenly struck it rich, I want four!
we always said two, now thats gone up to 3:P and his mom reckons il carry twins:)
im 5'1", ya we'll see what that does to my body:P
We have agreed on 3, unless they are all the same gender, then 4. I'm secretly hoping I'll have 3 of the same and then twins of the other to make 5 total. :)
