How many kids do you want or already have?
Be truthful and tell us your answer

Not now.. But down the road. I think I would be a good father.
I would prefer to have two or three; I grew up with a sister and younger brother, and it worked out very well for us (as opposed to our cousin, who has had difficulties as an only child). I would prefer my children to grow together, to learn modesty and humilty from one another, as well as an understanding of their individual unique talents. A sort of system of sibling checks and balances. :)
More would be fine.. but I think I'd honestly be overwhelmed. :o

Alright...
I want eight...not even joking. I want to have six biologically and then adopt two.

Big families ftw!
I want at least four, preferably five or six, and all my own. Big families...run in my family. :pink:

Apparently I'm having 12. XD
But I don't really mind however many I have.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't want kids that responded to this poll.
To be honest, I don't think I'd make a very good mother =[
Seanu - June 9, 2008 11:39 PM (GMT)
Don't worry, I don't think I'd make a very good mother either.
..Mainly because I'm a guy, but all the same, I wouldn't. XD
I wouldn't make a very good father either.
I get my mum to get moths out of my room.
And spiders.
And it took me four hours to figure out how to use the oven and make a pizza one time.

Two adopted and that's it. None of my own biologically; there are tons of kids in this world who would love to have a family. I don't think I'd be a very good parent, but whatever.

I'd make a terrible mother. Kids just... I dunno... they get on my nerves and I don't like them very much. Not to sound mean or anything because I'm not a mean person... really, I'm not.... I just don't like kids.

That doesn't make you a bad father. That makes you male. Lol... my brother is the same.
But anyhoo, I want three or four. There were four of us, it's just a nice average number. Not too big, not too small... just nice!

Both of my parents were one of eleven, and ever since I was little i've wanted eleven kids as well.

2 kids, preferably a boy and a girl :p.
I think I first would have to find a guy though o.O.
And yes, I think I would make a good mom. For ages I couldn't really stand little kids. But since quite some people in my surroundings are either pregnant/just got a baby, I'm really starting to feel like having one of my own. Of course now is really too early :p. Maybe in a few years when I have a good job, a husband and a house of my own ^_^.

Even though it's along time from now,
I want one child to start off with, and if I'm up to it & I'm not too busy with one I will probably adopt a 2nd one, because
#1. I heard childbirth is painful? XD
#2. I want to help children without parents. My best friend is an orphan and she told me she NEVER WANTS TO HAVE KIDS. lol, no surprise there!
Arakis - June 10, 2008 07:37 PM (GMT)
I could never stand more than one.
Meredith - June 10, 2008 07:46 PM (GMT)
All I want is two. I've seen families with more than two kids and it just looks CRAZY.

Eeeexactly. It's totally insane, very hard, but extremely rewarding all the same. I think about life without my siblings and cousins and it would just be....blah. Boring. I love how crazy my family is. <3
I've been around kids all my life--I'm second oldest in the family, most of my cousins are younger than me, and my mom and older sister are both elementary school teachers--so the concept of
not being able to raise children never even crossed my mind. Though I did used to be terrified of giving birth. Now I realize that fear had more to do with hospitals than it did with my confidence in my body.
Monty Python says it best. :lol:

How many kids I have is probably going to depend on a lot of factors. I would like to have one. As in, birth one myself. So, I'd like to raise at least one child.
Then a part of me says "ADOPT!" because... I just think it's a wonderful thing to do. But I'm semi-iffy on whether I want two kids or not. Some days I think "Yeah!" others... I think one is good. It will probably depend on how I feel after I've got one as to whether I want to add another.
Unless, of course, I happen to settle down with a woman who wants to have one of her own. Which I would not oppose in the least.
So, maybe two kids (either one mine+one hers, or one mine+one adopted) total? Maybe three if I decide to adopt another one after we both have one anyway? XD
Chexdex - June 15, 2008 02:43 PM (GMT)
i want three or four. maybe adopt one. i'm unsure and all. i just know i want three. i'm an only child and i honestly don't want to put my child through that.
Kitay` - June 15, 2008 05:45 PM (GMT)
i wont be having kids for another ten good years, but i'm an only child and i've always been very lonely... i want to shoot for five, two to three of which would be adopted. it could change, of course, but ever since i was a child i wanted a huge family so yeah xD i just want to be ready to support a huge family when i settle down and start popping them out, is all.
