How many children do want/have?

[Anita Cholaine]

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

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.

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...

That makes me sad, too.

I can remember being fat as a whale, 8 months pregnant (felt like 800 months), and my husband says to me "I would have been ok if we had not had children". OMG!!! I think that was the beginning of the end. By the time our child turned two years old, we were seperated, and quickly divorced after that. I would have loved to have had more children, but I realize if I had them with him, I would probably still be married to him, and that is not a good thought at all.

I guess it is easy for someone like me to say this, since I have had a baby, but there are worse things than not having a baby. And you give so much in your endeavors on behalf of the animals. I hope you are proud of that. I know I am proud of you for it!!!

I am so sorry. Didn't you two talk about things like children before you
married?

My husband & I both thought two children would be great & we had a boy
then a girl. What more is there?

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.

frankly I want my tubes tied as soon as absolute possable, I never want to have kids of my own, I would love to adopt though.
