Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?
I'm still dubious about having children altogether. I don't really like them because most of the ones I encounter are little terrors. But I figured if I had a child of my own I'd probably soften a bit and hopefully I could bring it up to be a well-behaved child. If I do decide to have children, I'd be perfectly happy to have one - a girl, so we could have the same close relationship as I do with my Mum. Either that, or a girl and a boy.

2 but if they're both the same gender I'd be willing to go to three to try and get at least one of each, but I think I'd draw the line at 3 unless it turned out they're twins or something (I'm not exactly going to kill the second twin to come out just because I've already got 3 kids!) so I could end up with 4 . . . although there isn't a history of twins in my family so it's unlikely.

Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?Well you'd better start hoping for dwarfism because they're only small for a tiny proportion of their lives.(Original post by keepinorder)
how could someone not want kids, they are sooo small and cute awwww
Unless you're like me, who stayed small forever more. It ain't cute though.

Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?
Ideally 4, as I come from a family of 5 (3 sisters and a brother) and I love having so many siblings. Although it does help that we all get on so well! But I do have a feeling that I'll probably end up having less, as 4 might get a tad difficult as I also want a career!

Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?Or get a car with 6 seats?(Original post by Doskey)
I would love 4 but unless you fit one in the boot it would be quite hard to go for days out
so... 3, ideally 2 girls 1 boy

2. I want my children to have siblings, but any more than 2 would be too hard work, especially with a career. I might have my tubes tied after having 2 just like my mum did.
Negative rep for considering having my tubes tied after having a few children? Why?Last edited by Kazbian; 28-02-2012 at 17:34. -
Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?
I would like a child or two early in life and maybe later in life (40's) I'd probably have another one. It depends. If I had a terrifying ordeal of child birth it would put me off. My mum had to have a blood transfusion after both me and my sister with a caesarean and she to be brought back to life with my younger sister.

Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?
I'm not sure I satisfy the condition of "women/girls" but decided to vote anyway because I'm a bad person. I voted 3 because that is the number of kids I would like to have.
Definitely want at least one of both genders. Boys are good for sports. Girls bring harmony to the family. All boys would be chaos. All girls wouldn't be so bad, but come on what guy doesn't want to have a son?Last edited by Raiden10; 28-02-2012 at 17:39. -
Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?
I know I'm not female, but I don't think the thread should be restricted as such. I would like too have either zero or two children. I have two siblings and the house just feels too crowded and noisy, so no more than two. Also, an only child could potentially cause problems so that narrows it down to zero or two.
I've given this too much thought.

Re: Women/girls, how many children would you like?Aw, bless, what a noble thing to do. You deserve rep for even having the courage to contemplate such a deed.(Original post by alawhisp)
2 or 3 biological, if it's possible. And then fostering/adoption until I'm so old or broke they won't let me do it anymore.
so... 3, ideally 2 girls 1 boy
Don't get me wrong, I adore my baby sister, but I have no desire for a child of my own. And I have held this view for over 4 years now. I suppose only time will tell.
