As I've stated before, my wife and I believed in ZPG, Zero Population Growth, so we had two. One to replace her and one to replace me. My oldest and her husband have also just got two. My youngest doesn't have children yet.
Well we initially wanted 4, but we also want them to not have big age gaps, and we have to be able to afford them all, so I think now we'll probably just go for 2.
I’m an only child. My mom couldn’t get pregnant again after a situation that happened. My mom always wanted to have as many kids as possible, basically just get pregnant from any guy she could. Part of me wants to follow her footsteps and then not. So I’m open to one child or possibly a large family from different daddies. Don’t judge.
Not judging. My dad convinced my mom to only have one. She regrets it. My husband tried the same. Bur I maintained 2 was important to me. Our second son really completed our family.
I think 4 would be good. 2 girls and 2 boys. It'll probably be hard to provide for but that'll be totally worth it if I can raise 4 kids with a lovely mature woman.
I am still young and probably not gonna have any soon so that number might change.
When I got married I told my wife that I wanted a football team, she told me I needed another wife... lol She had two when we married and we had another two so I ended up with two doubles teams for tennis but not quite a Basketball team though... lol
Ideally I want no children. Max one. And that's if something terrible happens to the measures we put in place to prevent them lol
I am one of 4. My siblings are triplets and they were born on my 8th birthday. So I went from being an only child to one of 4 and I don't think I ever recovered lol
Plus I don't particularly enjoy being around children in general so it seems silly to me to have a child when I don't desperately want one. 🤷🏼♀️
2 because I don't want an only child for a few reasons. And 4 because I've always kinda wanted a big family, but not too big and I feel like 4 kids would be my limit anyway.
Why not 3, you ask? I just don't like that number of kids, for some reason. Lmao
Zero, because I have sh*tty genetics and me creating another human being out of them (even if the girl I slept with was genetically perfect) would be child abuse and a crime against humanity.
I wanted to have 2. Alas, it didn't happen. I shall be the first in a long lineage going back about 4 billion years who never reproduced! A dubious distinction!
I’d love 4, maybe 6, with the boy/girl ratio being even. (I don’t know how unrealistic that is. lol) But for now I’m still just looking for a girlfriend…
I am an Only. Like you, I NEVER wanted only one. My girlfriend and Ex, both, had abortions against my wishes. Now, I'm afraid I will NEVER have an heir. My name stops with me.
I always thought I wanted 2 or 3 but since I’m expecting my first child at the age of 21 probably only this one, possibly one more but that’s pretty slim

Kewl!

Yes. I like the almost 4 year age gap mine have.

@meetkitty123 i would love to know your opinion!

@loves2learn awh. My mom wanted a lot of kids from different donors.
It is difficult to raise children on your own. 😞
@loves2learn agreed but it was what she wanted ❤️
Then I admire her for knowingly taking on such a challenge.
@loves2learn Agreed when I was growing up she had different men in every few days. So I’m used to that type of lifestyle

Sounds lovely!
I wanted 4 I have 2 and I still long for those other 2
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Might they still join your family?
🤞 time will tell

Either 2 or 4. 😂

Why not 3, you ask? I just don't like that number of kids, for some reason. Lmao
I agree! In groups of 3 seems someone is always left out
That was me for a lot of my childhood, tbh. Maybe that's why I don't want 3 kids. 😂
I completely get it. My mom too.
Zero, because I have sh*tty genetics and me creating another human being out of them (even if the girl I slept with was genetically perfect) would be child abuse and a crime against humanity.

😔 I know a man in a similar situation. I tried helping him. Many of his family lost their lives in the Holocaust and he's the last lineage.
I sympathesize. I have no siblings. I am the last and probably the end of my name.
In the future when i feel ready, I just want two. I have an aunt that also just wanted two but it ended up being 3 😂
Sounds wonderful
if I ever have kids I'd like a pair number, so that's either two or four, no less no more
I get it. In groups of 3 someone is always left out
right... but it's mostly my mild OCD... lol, and the number of seats at a vehicle and all that
I get it. True.
I’d love 4, maybe 6, with the boy/girl ratio being even. (I don’t know how unrealistic that is. lol) But for now I’m still just looking for a girlfriend…
Ummmm. Basically 50/50 chance lol.

🫂💋🫂 😔 😥 I'm sorry
@meetkitty123. Thank you.
I am really sorry to hear all of this. 💔
Shikatta ganai (It cannot be helped)
Thank you.
0, because I don't think having kids would make me happy.
I can't deal with the crap life throws my way, so I'd rather not bother with something that I don't deem as necessary.
I have one and that is more than enough for me. I wouldn’t have any another.
I am happy for you. I sorta felt one is not enough and two is almost too many. Lol. But I would not change a thing. My kids are amazing.
I was on the fence about kids. As it turned out I can't bare children. Please don't suggest adoption. I ok with how things turned out.
I am happy if you are happy
I always thought I wanted 2 or 3 but since I’m expecting my first child at the age of 21 probably only this one, possibly one more but that’s pretty slim
Congrats on the bundle of joy!
Thank you
I do not have any or plan on any. Mainly because of my seizures
I’m sorry to hear that. That must interrupt your life.
They are mainly controlled, but I had two this year, because of stress from work
I am glad you are able to mostly control them :)
The same amount that my mother has because it’s a good amount
How many is that? Lol
3. My 2 brothers and me
Very nice
Yes indeed 🙂
