    I wanted 3 or 4, but only have 2 (1 boy, 1 girl). I have been trying for that 3rd for a few years now, but just want to get on with my life. I have decided to let go of all of my baby stuff because everyone says that is how you get pregnant. The problem is that once I get rid of it, I will have moved on with my life and be very unprepared for that 3rd child if it comes along. The other problem is that I live in a community where everyone has 4+ and you are looked down at it you have less than that. No reason to have another child, but I do get tired of the remarks and questions about when I am going to have more.

    I always wanted 4, then I got married had 2 boys and was through: (I would say 2 and through)

    1) I have 2 hands one for each

    2) Everybody has a window in the car

    3) Most homes are 3 bedroom I'm the only one that had to share

    that's for starters BUT.........

    you know those pills don't always work (yup they were right) I had my surprise little girl and I wouldn't change it for the world now they are 14, 17 and 20....I'm so blessed :-D

    At one time I thought four would be perfect but the three I have turned out to be so exhausting I decided I was done and I'm happy with three. Two would not have been enough for me. In a perfect world I'd like to have another boy because the one I have is so neat, but he's also the one who made me decide not to have any more because while he's a neat loving cute little guy he's a tremendous lot of work!

    I have 1 daughter and always wanted 4 children. I would still like to have 4 but don't see it happening. I will 32 in 10 days and my husband will become my ex-husband in 2 days. (He realized after our daughter was born that fatherhood isn't as fun as he thought it would be.) Babies are A LOT of work but I would still love 3 more!

    I want two.

    Not one - because I'm an only child and I HATE it!

    Not any more - because I think when parents have more than two, the time they can give to their children individual is greatly reduced. Not to mention how big of a house/car/etc you need - which equates to lots and lots of money you'd need!

    None because you would not want to help overpopulate this planet with more people. If you do want children make sure you have enough time and money for them. Otherwise they will grow up and be a menace to the society. Pain and suffering......

    Well I have a son already, and in a Year or so I plan to have another (hopefully a girl this time) and then after that wait a little longer and have one more. Then I think that will be it for me unless another one pops up. so 3 kids
