What is the maximum number of children you want to have?

Question

If you could afford it and had lots of time, like won the lottery, would you want to have even more?

Answer 1

3

2 girls and a boy with the boy as the middle child and no twins

Answer 2

Just two.

Answer 3

I want zero.

Answer 4

4/5 but i deffintly want a boy first

i want twins but dont think thats gonna happen as its not in the family at all

and yes i would want more if i won lotto

Answer 5

2, I think any more than that and the children start to feel like they are not getting enough one on one attention from parents.  Plus, the mother ends up running around so much she can lose her identity and be miserable.  Two kids is MORE than enough, especially financially.

Answer 6

I honestly haven't set a limit. My fiance and I intend to leave the end result up to Jesus when we get married and are able to have children. We've put all of that in his hands.

We'd both love to have a lot of children (not a lot as in 5 or 6,  but at least 10 or 12). We really don't mind having even more than that. Children are a blessing from the Lord and though it'll definitely be a challenge, the knowledge of raising up that many children for the Lord far outshines any hardship.

You mentioned winning the lottery as an incentive to have more children... We intend to wait on the Lord in that regard as well. He is the Great Provider and He's always made sure I've had enough. I have 10 other siblings and we've never gone hungry or without clothes or a home. Not once. So, I'm not worried about where the means to provide for all of the children we have will come from. Having more  or less money won't change our views on how many children we want. My fiance is a diligent worker and has always excelled far above those he works with as well...that surely won't go unnoticed. Even if it does, Jesus knows everything we'll go through and He knows how best to resolve a problem. We just have to remain faithful to Him as He is faithful to us.

So that's it basically...we'll have as many children as God deems right. It would be an honor and a joy to have what most people consider an insane amount of children. :)

Blessings to you and yours!

Answer 7

Zero - childfree and loving it!

Answer 8

~If I won the lottery, I think I would want 2 more babies.

So a total of 5 children.

I have 3 children already, and I am done.  But if I had a lot more money, a housekeeper, and maybe a nanny sometimes, I would want more babies!

Interesting question!

Answer 9

1 or 2. Probably just one.

Answer 10

I have alway swanted an handful. I have one right now and my husband and I think in a couple of years try to have another. We have decided on two children, maybe three.

Answer 11

Even if i had all the money I don't want more than three and that is pushing it two is my magic number

Answer 12

2; that puts me @ 1 down 1 to go

Answer 13

2 is what I got and I am HAPPY and SATISFIED

Answer 14

two kids i have one now 2 year old son trying for another

Answer 15

Four.

Answer 16

Enough for a hockey team. Especially if I had a nice big house, wasn't working and had my family near by. The more the merrier.

Answer 17

We're stopping at 3. We planned on having 2-3 and that's what we will have. With a bigger home/more money ect. i don't know if we'd want more or not. I don't thing money or a bigger home would make us "want" more. I think we wouldn't have have more unless we had a bigger home and a little more income though, simply so each child had their own room, and college expenses ect. We've agree at some point later on if we want more we will adopt an older child. Right now i doubt that would happen, but who knows. once the kids are in school we may want to have another child in the house I don't know.

So any way you cut it, I'm only physically giving birth to 3...regardless of resources. I'm already a stay at home mom, I know there is no way I could spend adequate time raising 6+ kids or anything. there is only 24hrs in a day after all lol.

Answer 18

3

Answer 19

4, we may be in a position a year or two from now that would make it possible for us to have another, now if I can just convince my husband...

Answer 20

4

Answer 21

I want to have 3.  Actually #3 is almost here (July 27th), and he will be my last. Even if I won the lottery and so forth, I wouldn't be able to handle more.

Answer 22

I want 6 kids, four boys of my own , and two boys that i adopt lol, & no I wouldn't change that if I had more time or won the lottery, cause six is alot. hahaha.

Answer 23

Id love to have 7... it'll never happen though. In reality maybe 3 or 4. Although if I found someone who would be able to support me and 7 children I'd go for it!!! For the time being I'll enjoy the one I've got.

Answer 24

I'd love to have lots of children but it's not realistic my hubby and I have planned out 4 children and yes we can afford 4 children.

I'd go as far as to say I'd have 10 if I could...

Answer 25

I would like to have a boy and a girl, so probaly two, but if I ended up having two boys or two girls I MAY want to try for a third. Third time is a charm lol. My hubby and I are trying to find a balance, he has three siblings (plus four step-siblings) and I have one half sister who is MUCH older then I am.

Answer 26

I wanted three, but I have two and now I am fixed. If I won the lottery I would probably adopt a little girl, because I never got to have a girl.

Answer 27

I would only have one, just my baby boy Ryan <3 Even if i won the lottery - i'd spoil him ROTTEN lol :D

Answer 28

Zero!!!!!!

Answer 29

right now in my life i think 0 but if i ever can be financially set.. then maybe adopt 2...my gf/maybe wife :)  cant give birth for health reasons. so we were thinking of adopting maybe later in life.
