I'd still want two because two is a lot to handle. But if I did want more, I'd want 4 instead of 3 so that there would be no middle child and there'd be two older kids and two younger kids. I could see a full house like that being fun, but I'm just not up for the challenge!
If you didn't have to worry about the cost of raising kids, how many would you have vs. how many are you planning on having now?

I think I'd still want 2. I don't like the idea of more kids than parents -- then they could gang up on us! Lol.

I'd still just want 2. I don't think I can handle more than that. I admire parents who are able to raise lots of children (3+).

I would want anywhere between 3 and 5 (maybe even 6) if money wasn't an object. I love big families but also love being able to take vacations, save for college, etc.

I don't like even numbers, so I'd like 5 or 7. (yes, I know, I'm odd). If everything goes okay, we're already planning on having 3, which is why I said 5 or 7.

Two! Two isn't completely out of the question for us, we are just trying to figure out how to afford daycare.

Still two. Though if cost wasn't an issue, we may end up adopting a whole soccer team...

I would love to have 4-5 children, although helping them pay for college would be really difficult with that many (is college included in the "cost of raising kids" assumption??). I have 2 siblings and a whole bunch of cousins - I just love big families!

Thank goodness @Witz said 4-5 ... I'm totally a fiver! I know, I'm crazy! I would love to have three kids fairly close together and then wait a few years and have twins! Specifically a boy and a girl (Since, you know, I can totally determine those things in advance - haha!)
I know it's crazy but I grew up with a few friends who came from big families and I always loved watching the dynamic. They always had someone to play with even when they were at home!
I think my husband will only go for 3 in the real world, though. Bummer. ha

I could totally see myself with a whole mess of kids. I could go to 4 or 5, I think! In reality, I doubt we'd go for more than 2 (though we might do 3).

My instinct would be to say I want tons of kids, but my logical husband would tell me it's too much to handle. So 3.

cost is not really a factor in us wanting kids. if we had a choice, i think 3 would be ideal, but 2 is good. 4 is too many for us.

I would have 4 kids but we will most likely only have 2.
We both come from large families.

Since my DH and I come from a family of three kids each, we'd like three kids. 1 boy and 2 girls! I dunno, I feel like it's really important for a girl to have a sister in my humble opinion.
