I know this question is for guys, but I'd like to answer anyway. I'd like to have three kids. I know I can't choose their order and gender, and I'd never ever abort one if it wasn't the gender I'd prefer, but I'd like a son and then 2 daughters. I'd like a son first so his little sisters had someone to look up to. I'm the oldest in my family and definitely look up to my older cousins. I'd like to have 2 daughters, somewhat close in age (maybe 2 years difference) because I have three little brothers and know life would be much easier if I had a sister who understood what I am going through. That's what I would like.

I think I want 4 kids. I'd want a son first too.

Cool. How about the others?

[Asker]

I want two boys and two girls or maybe I might want 5 kids. then that will be 3 boys and 2 girls. I want two boys first or two boys firs and two girls

Sweet :D I don't think I could handle that many kids.

2 or 3

Personally, I would not like to raise an only child (can be more difficult).

Also, I'd stop at 2 if I had one boy and one girl.

If they were both the same gender, I would consider having a third, with the hopes of getting one of the opposite gender just to balance things out. Regardless, I'd love them all! :)

And of course, it depends on how many the wife wants! :P Haha.

Can anyone take a peek at mine, please?

2 - 3 kids.

Gender wouldn't bother me or how they turn out to be as they would be my kids which I would love and be a product (hopefully) of a loving relationship with my wife.

Why I want kids is kinda simple. My dad died when I was kinda young and I just want to be a good father to some kids.

Better Answer. You win!

I'd like at least 2...3 is a better number...and I'd love to do more...but it all depends on finances and what she wants. I don't have to endure the pain and consequences!

All up to her but I'll try to demand 2 and beg for 3 =P

[Asker]

Consequences?

[Agsded]

The effects of being pregnant and the lasting effects after birth...from the temporary to the permanent.

[Asker]

Oh. I don't think a woman would think about it like that though. my mom had stretchmarks and she said it was the most beautiful thing about her, lol.

[Agsded]

Haha I guess it depends on the person...many of the girls I've been around complain and complain about that...they hate having to lose the weight after and complain of the stretchmarks of course =P

I'd say no more than 2. Otherwise, they get to be a hand full.

[duke05432]

For me I would want at least 2 but no more than three mainly because I love kids but having too many is an issue for me.

[SpearMint]

No more than 2.

[SpearMint]

Why? Because any more would become a handful for me emotionally, financially, physically... just about in all aspects. But that's just me, though, some guys out there think they're Superman and want a gazillion kids. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.

For me, my first born will be a son. He'll be my second-hand man, my buddy, the guy that I can be proud of. My second born will be a daughter. I have to have a "daddy's little girl" or my life won't be complete.

[Asker]

What if you had all sons?

[SpearMint]

Well, it would suck... because I would be expecting a daughter. But if the second child's a boy then I'll treat him the same way as my first born. No point in me dwelling over it lol.

[Asker]

What if you have all daughters?

[SpearMint]

I guess I would treat them both as my "daddy's little girls". It's not gonna be easy, but I'll try to devote the same attention to both.

[Asker]

You get the best answer! Yay you!

[rdxhai]

No more than 3.
