CPW: How many kids do you want?

Re: CPW: How many kids do you want?

  • I don't want to challenge the Duggars but I would love 5 or more.

    While on the subject of TLC ginormous families.....Kate Gosselin got her show back on TLC?! Jon must really need money if he is going to let his kids be on TV again!

  • I think 3!

    And yeah...I just saw a commercial for the return of "Kate Plus 8"...

  • I would be completely content with 1. DH is adamant about 2. He'd probably have more than that too ...
  • I'd love to have 3 living children, but because we carry a genetic disease I just don't think we'll take the risk.  I think we'll just have 1 more and pray for a healthy baby.

  • I don't want anywhere near the 19 that the Duggars have, but I think I'd like to have 5 kids.  We have a huge extended family, but our immediate family it was just my brother and I.  I've always wished I had more siblings, and I'd really like to have a bigger family, so I guess it's up to me to create it! :)

  • We definitely want 3, and if we can afford it and we are still sane lol we want 4.

    I'm in a similar situation.  My UC is a 50/50 genetic crapshoot and pregnancy/delivery have been tough on me because of it.  My GI would prefer that I not have any more at all, but I really want DS to have a sibling.  I'd love to have 4, but I think 2 is about the limit my body and conscience can take.

  • I grew up with one brother, and then my mom remarried and I have 2 stepsiblings and a half sibling. So I have the experience of both a small, and larger family! I love having more siblings and I've always said I wanted 4 kids. During labor though, I said we would adopt our next one. :) And I still can't really handle the thought of more than one. It just overwhelms me. But I definitely want at least one more.

  • I would LIKE 5, but it won't be happening. So, I voted for 5+, but in reality, it will possibly be 4 but probably be 3!
  • If #2 is another girl, we will try one more time for a boy.  If #2 is a boy then our family is complete!

  • We are between 2-3 and lately I have been leaning towards 3. I'm 33 and DH is 34 so we'll see.
  • I am one of five and always wanted at least 4 kids, maybe up to 6.  But to be honest, DD is kicking my butt.  Now I feel like I'll be happy with two.  Who knows what will happen, though.  We are NFPers, so it's really in God's hands.
