    How Many Kids Do you Want/Have?

    Just out of curiousity, how many kids do you have, if any.
    Do you want more, or is enough enough? lol

    I have a 2 year old boy and a 9 month old baby girl.
    I always said I wanted lots, like at least 4 kids. And I still do. But my hubby is another person to convince!!

    I have my 2.5yr daughter and we're TTC for #2

    I've always wanted 4 as well but DH only wanted 2....we then agreed to having 3 total. NOW he is changing his mind and saying 2 only.....but there's a catch. If our next child is a boy he wants to stop. If it's another girl then he'll take 'the chance' for the 3rd to see if a boy joins us.

    So yes I am secretly hoping for a girl! LMAO

    We have an almost 3 year old boy with no plans to add to the family. I had an ectopic earlier this year and had to have emergency surgery. After that my husband and I decided that we are a very happy family of three.

    That being said if a happy suprise were to come along we would be very happy about it.

    I stop at 2! One boy and one girl... now I've added 2 step kids to that mix as well... so I guess I have 4 half of the time.

    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    My children are 31, 26 and 22 years old. I loved having 3 of them, but feel they grew up way too quickly. In the blink of an eye....

    We have two, a boy and a girl, right now. And I'm due with our third in a couple of weeks. Pretty sure my husband's getting a vasectomy after this one as we both feel done with having biological children. We both aren't completely sure if we're done though (I'm definitely thinking I want more), but we would like to adopt any future children. Taking it one at a time though, so we'll see.

    I wanted a houseful but it was not in the cards for me ~ so step mother is my role.

    One of the reasons why I am a lifer to being a surrogate mother to 5 every wee ones with the benefit of being able to send them all home at 5pm, sleep through the night and go on a date night without complications of finding a babysitter
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    We have 2 (a girl and a boy) and we're done. I did NOT have good pregnancies. I was flat on my back sick for the whole first trimester for both babies (who were both surprises, btw). After our son was born, my husband paid a visit to the doctor and that's that.

    My children are 36, 35, 29 & 26. I didn't plan any of them, yeah, I used to be too gullible and silly. I am now very wise and trust no one, hehe. I was a teenaged Mom. My grandsons are 17, 15, 5, 3 & 5 and I can't wait until more of them show up. I sure would like a granddaughter!
