How many children do you wish you had? How many do you actually have?

Question

How many children do you wish you had? How many do you actually have?

Answer 1

I'm guessing that most answerers here are americans and the average size for a desired family is 3 kids. I say the more the merrier. only cheap and selfish people think of children as a liability and think of them as a hurdle for their  so called "quality of life".

I have immense respect for mothers who are stay at home and raise their children to be good citizens of our society. I wish more Canadians would have large families as we have a demographic problem here where people are not having kids and the population of our country is shrinking.

So how about some of you American folks move up here and have more kids.

(b.t.w. the government of canada pays $300/month for each kid until they are 18, not to mention the free healthcare ;-)

Answer 2

I wanted 3 and I have 3.

But tempted to try for a boy after 3 girls.

Answer 3

Awwww I wish I had 5 or 6. I have 2.  

Answer 4

I have 2, that are 17 and 15, but want at least one more with my boyfriend once we get married, but it may not happen due to health reasons, but I want one more.

Answer 5

I have always wanted two boys.  Now I have two boys, and I find myself wanting a girl.  That's ok though,  I'm happy and content with my life as it is and wouldn't change it for the world.

Some days I think I want 3, two girls and a boy. Then other days (when my 3 year old girl is on her rampage) I just want one. So I will most likely have just 2!

Answer 21

I'm on baby number three right now. I have two daughters 2 and 5 and a son on the way, due in december. I am done for at least 5 years. I want all my kids in school before I start again but I think in the end I would like to have 5 kids. My husband wants to have as many as I am willing to push out but I think my limit is going to be 5.

Answer 22

I have one and he is 17 - my husband and I only wanted one.  Because of having just one to provide for, we have been able to travel with him extensively and do things that we just couldn't do if we had several.

Regrets?  No, I'd do it all the same again.  And no, he never has wanted a sibling and he is not spoiled or rotten or anything.  President of the Nat'l Honor Society at his school, goes on mission trips to build schools in third world areas - a bunch of good stuff.

Answer 23

I would like at least one. I have none.
