2. Money is part of our decision, but not the biggest part!
-
4 would be awesome, but I think I will be either sticking with the 2 I have now or adding 1 more. I love kids! However, baby trois will be in a few years!
-
4! i'd love 2 boys and 2 girls. i nanny-ed for a family in college that had 2 boys, 2 girls and they were all spaced out by 2 years each. it was perfect and i would love to have a similar family!
right now, we'd love to adopt once more after our 2nd adoption, but it might be quite a bit of a stretch!
-
I'd pull a Duggar and probably have like 20. I am not kidding either! Oh I would love it. We will probably have 6 right now. But now that I think of it, pretty sure the Duggars live cheaper than us now, so maybe 20 is a worth goal?
-
I was gonna say, just 2, but if I could afford several nannies (and a baby nurse!) then probably 3. Boy, girl, boy!
-
3! boy girl girl!
-
4!! I think that's the perfect amount so I could divide my attention up without it being stretched too thin. I probably wouldn't have a nanny, I'd just have my mom retire since she is the only person I can really trust with my LO's! I would also probably pamper myself more during pregnancy if I had quite a bit of money.
Realistically, I would love to start trying for #3 in about 6 months but we need a bigger house and car before that can happen. -
I still say two, but perhaps would have 1 or 2 more through adoption. I don't want to go through pregnancy again.
-
Money isn't the issue for us, it's time and age. If I could turn back the clock and have met my husband 10 years earlier, we'd have more children.
-
4!
-
Same as now, 2 max.
-
i'd want at least a boy and a girl
-
@looch: This is our issue. If I was younger, I might say 3... but if I really had a ton of money, I think I'd skip the third and travel with a nanny and both the girls!
There's still an outside chance that we'll have a 3rd, but unlikely.
-
@anonysquire: I couldn't do it because of the stress of living on less $$ with that many kids. I would like to be able to afford to put each kind in whatever sports/extra curriculars they want, put the thru college, help with a car etc.. so even though they make it work - I never could!!
-
@Zuzu2and11: wooo another crazy one like me
-
@erwoo: lol four is a big family?!
@JessicaMcB: I was one of six and never felt I didn't get enough attention. I would have loved if my parents had even more
Honestly I think it has more to do with the parents than the # of kids. -
@Coco Bee: LOL! It is! Four kids is a lot these days.
I don't come from a big family (there were three of us); but my parents both come from big families (mom has 8 siblings and dad has 4).
-
Same as we want now, four. Now if morning sickness was no issue, that would be a different answer entirely!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Thank goodness for the sisterhood of older first time mothers! It's tough, you know, when you think about what could have been...but then I realize that my husband and I wouldn't have been right for each other 10 or 15 years ago.
We're NTNP, but I just turned 37 and I am just not as resilient as I used to be!
-
@looch: 10-15 years earlier and my husband would have been8-13 years old... Not so good!
I managed to have 2 babies starting at 38, so it can be done!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Oh no, you're right, that wouldn't have been good!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: your husband is 23?
-
@Mr. Coco Bee: He was 20 when we met, 23 when I finally acquiesced to one date, 27 when we got engaged and 28 when we got married and had our first baby. He was younger than me so I was very disinterested at first and cautious after I became interested. Age is not really a factor in our relationship and now he's in his 30's.
-
I think we would probably have 3-4 biological and an unlimited number of adoptive children. We'd probably take lots of sibling sets with special needs since they have the hardest time finding homes. If money were no object, we would take A LOT of kids.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Ahhhh!
I thought you referring to this point in time right now.I totally get that! I am about 5 years older than my wife, and if we met any time earlier it most likely wouldn't have worked out.
Fate has a funny way of working out -
@Mr. Coco Bee: I think there are 23 year old husbands whose wives are on the boards, but mine is not among them
-
@Mrs. Jacks:
We are only as old as we feel
I forget sometimes and give people the wrong age -
@Mrs. Jacks: that's fascinating! I totally didn't know about the age difference, that's so cool!!
-
@Coco Bee: Yeah, it's 10 years 11 months... I was sooo resistant to ever dating him because of it. Thank goodness he was persistent and patient and convinced me otherwise. I would have missed out on the best thing to ever happen to me!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: aww that is soo sweet!!!
-
If money were no option probably 5! I love my Babies
-
4, although money isn't the only issue
-
I agree with all the folks concerned about having enough time to give each one enough attention - I'm hoping for 4
-
hmmm i dunno right now i would love 4.
I thought you referring to this point in time right now.
