How Many Children?

I have 2 children and do not plan on having more.

I have 3 and a 17 year old granddaughter.

I don't have any. I only want 1.

3 boys from 2 dads.
No more for me my baby is 18 and in college!

We had two lovely girls. I always said I wanted one for each hand.

I can't even manage my two. How on earth do you do it?

Just a boy who's 12 and a girl who's 10 and that keeps me so busy. I love being around big families though. You must have fun organizing sports teams with all those boys.

Working on one, plan on having another if I can handle the first one.

I did a list it article on this a couple days ago! :)

I have a son and a daughter - we are done!

I have a 14 yr old boy. I would love to have a baby girl. I have to land a man first(well I would prefer it that way)

Please God dont give me no more,, oh yeah,, opps one is coming in April gee just when I thought I had it undercontrol...

I have 5.. 1 daughter, 4 sons (daughter is my oldest).

I hate it when people ask, "Do you know what's causing it?" I typically answer, "Yes, we finally figured it out! It's in the water... we're suing the city!"

Just one, 10... I am done. Kids are sooo expensive!

Thank you Karen!
Melanie, that is funny!

I wanted a bunch but I had trouble with fertility issues. We have three, the last one adopted when he was five. I'd like to adopt even more but I have an elderly parent and I would not adopt a child unless I could be there for him or her and not have to juggle things around so much. Also, I am going through menopause, so they might not let us adopt now. It tears me up to see how many children need homes, though.

I still remember when our youngest, adopted, said to us, "So when did you and Dad adopt each other?"

Out of the mouths of babes....we are SO lucky to have been blessed with him, just when I thought I couldn't have more children. Families are made in many ways, thank goodness, and even though I have a hard time understanding WHY so many children are abandoned, I am grateful that he became ours.

I had 4 biological children 3 boys, & 1 girl and was foster mom to 2 teenage twin boys till they were in college, now there are 2 biological grandchildren, 5 more special grandchildren as my sons adopted their spouses children and 2 grand babies on the way. MY two foster sons have 3 grands between them. We are all one happy family. And my yongest son got married on Friday so the family grows.

Only 2. My son is 13 and my daughter is 10. That is it no more or I will have to change my name from Mariah to Mary. LOL I can't handle any more by myself.

i have 4 children 3 boys 1 girl

2, one of each, NO and I come from a family of 9 so I know how it feels to be a part of those stares.

I have two but would consider a third in the future...

I do not have any children, - but I have 2 Nephews, 3 Neices, 2 godchildren, 1 black lab, 1 golden retriever and 3 cats. As a couple of you stated the comments that people make "do you know what causes this", these type of statements are very uncalled for, I have had people say "What is the problem?", or "you know your life is not complete w/o children" or (this one I realy like) "God said.-be fruitful and multiply", yea, I have heard it all about not having children. Well, I am 47 YOA been married for 27 years (same man) and I have a wonderful life. Yes, I love children, but for whatever reason it must have been in God's will for me not to have any. I hate when people makes "stupid comments" especially when they have no idea what is going on or what the problem is, even my family members and co-workes say things that really get under my skin. (Please forgive me for going on and on, I forgot the question was how many children do you have and me not with any I am the one who went crazy and starting "talking". Thanks all for letting me vent this one out, I think I really needed this. (Kelly, I am giving you 10 stars, cause I really feel much better now). HEHE :)

Kelly, 6 boys!, how organized you must be, and may I offer my best wishes that they will all make you proud. I had my first child at age 21, now my three are grown and my husband and I are enjoying our empty nest. While it was fun and busy, tiring and frustrating, sometimes I wondered if I knew what I was doing, but, yes, they turned out well. And it actually goes faster than you may think. Now my reward is my six grandchildren!!!

I have 5....3 boys and 2 girls.

1 pregnancy, 2 kids, we are done.

3 kids, a daughter 16, a son 7 another son 3. I'm done.

None. Too much awareness of "populaton explosion" when I was younger.

I wanted two, a boy and a girl or twins would do. I have none. I gave up.

no bio kids. Dave and I had custody of his 15 year younger brother from the time he was 13 1/2 on.

7 fo me! 6 at home and 1 that is adopted. I know what you mean about the stares and weird comments! Of course I know what causes it! DUH!!!!!

We have 9 children and we are done. LOL. Two sets of twins that are back to back. Oh yes, we are done. We get the stares..the comments...but it is our family and we wouldnt have it any other way.
