    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 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...)

    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.

    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

    None, none, and none!! Ever! Never ever had the desire to have kids, I'm not good with kids, I don't like to be around any kids except for my neice- and I can only handle her in small hourly doses.

    I have 2 a 24yr daugther (married) and a just turned 22yr son. I'm 44 and thankfully no more. I'm afraid of being a full time granny if one of mine have one. I didn't want kids but God decided I needed these two as 2 types of the pill failed (not me as I had allergy meds to takealso so no forgetting) I wouldn't give up either one now but dogs would have been cheaper.

    Someday (we've agreed, when we both are mature enough to handle the responseability and our lives are more stable) John and I would like to have a child, perhaps two. Two is the limit though! we both love kids, and if God doesn't grace us with a child of our own we are concidering adoption.

    John is the only person I'd concider having children with, and he feels the same about me. I don't understand people (women especially) who just get pregnant in hopes of staying with this or that guy or to try to get even with a guy or whatever. Childeren are supposed to be a blessing, not just pawns in stupid mind games.

    I would like to have zero children.
    I don't mind most kids, and I'm pretty good with them, I just don't want any of my own.

    I'm 24 and I've thought this way for 8 years, so I don't think I'll be changing my mind anytime soon....


    *Thanks Ashley*
