How many children do want/have?

[petslover]

The 14 kids post got me wondering. How many kids do you want or do you have?

I know I would like one or two kids of my own. I also want to adopt two kids. I have always wanted to adopt a baby from another country, and maybe a child here too.

Although, I'm not planning to have any kids anytime soon. I'm only 19,single, still in college, and still living at home. I just can't wait til that one day I start a family of my own. I think it will be a blessing.

I have 4 kids. They're 19, 18 and twins that turn 17 today.

I'm 39 and am way too old to have any more.

I have not and will not ever have kids. However, I do have two step children that live with us. They are 16 and 18, that's enough for me.

I have none, but, want at least one.

A big fat 0 - on both counts

OMG PJ !!!! you mut have had (or still have) a hard time when they where all little, my respect to you

right now i only have one human kid, he´s 2 yr., a great kid, i once thought i wanted three, since i thought one "he´ll be too lonely", two" maybe they go separate ways in many ways" three "at least they have one more choice to hang out with", but after (well , while) my boywas born i was like OMG i better rethink this over, but still at least i want one more, we´re looking for a girl but who knows, only God. and maybe not until a year or two

i dont know how people manage (like PJ) to handle twins, triplets, or more at once, i was going crazy with one but it´s worth it

I don't know, I'm still too young, but I think I would like to have one or two... Maybe I change my mind later, and I finally have 20 kids (I was joking...)

i don't know i think my dogs and 1 child will be enough

REAL kids, not "pets" haha.

HJ always jokes that he's going to have like ten. *rolls eyes* I tell him I say what comes and goes through.. there...

I want two of my own, and adopt a third. The third is optional though, as well... my parents only planned on having two kids and they ended up having three... seven years after their last one LOL

I would have liked to have had 3 of my own. I had one, and she is awesome at 14! No complaints!! When I remarried, I got two more. So I guess, in a round about way, I got my 3. At 43 years old, I am very content to stop at 3. I'll just get puppies and kittens from now on. Well, actually I think I'll have adult dogs and cats if I adopt anymore.

HEy i think of my dogs as children *people* I am special i guess

Oh no no I was saying that to myself, not in response to anything anyone said, hehe.

TRUST me, I refer to my pups as my kids, too. My mom talks about her "grandpups" all the time. I tell people I have two kids and they look at me like "YOU'RE SO YOUNG! WHAT HAVE YOU AND HJ BEEN DOING!!" hehe. I DO think of my pups as my kids, but they're not KIDS kids.

I would have liked to have had a few kids of my own. Unfortunately neither of my husbands thought I deserved to have kids. I have 2 step kids from my 2nd husband, he figures that I should be happy with that - yes, but NOT. They're ok kids, but they are not mine. He doesn't get that. Now that I approach 40 years of age in the next month it is too late, something I regret and will regret for the rest of my life. I resent both husbands, the first one I actually hate, the second - well we are still togther so I'm trying to get over it.

I do however love my fur babies with all of my heart and lavish them with more love than they could ever want/need.

My mom talks about her "grandpups" all the time

I have friends who are always on my case to have kids (I am only 23), and when my boyfriend's mother heard that, she said to them "some people have children, some people have dogs, there is no difference" That really made me laugh. That being said I would like two or three, at the most! But that will not be happening for a LONG LONG time.

Now that I approach 40 years of age in the next month it is too late, something I regret and will regret for the rest of my life. I resent both husbands

That is heartbreaking. I really hope you get your baby. My granny had her last baby in her early 50's (the first when she was 18) so its not too late.

I really would like 1 kid but twos the limit. I am definately in no hurry though...
