Have two. Thought I wanted only two but the idea of having a large family seems nice. Especially later in life when they (hopefully) all get married and have kids of their own.

We’re hitting our late thirties though, so I’m not sure we’ll ever have the third. Kids are expensive.

My wife and I started not wanting kids. As we near 30 we are warming to the idea. We only want 1. I am thinking if we have 1 and they are well behaved, MAYBE another. I see these families with 3+ kids and I want to throw up just feeling their energy.

Planned 2 & had 1 & 1. Our journey ended up going in different directions, so wound up with 2 step children, 1 & 1. Step parenting may be the most difficult task of all.

FWIW - I may offer an opinion on just about any topic, but I I only offer advice on one; have boys! I love my girls deeply, but they gave me ten times the grief.

I never really set a number before we started. I have two, a boy and a girl. Would have probably had more if we wouldn’t have had one of each

I feel out of the ordinary that I want 4.

I agree with Tucker Carlson - if you disagree with the way that the country is going, have more children and raise them right.

Bunch of you need to have more.

I don't have any but my parents wanted 3 and ended up with 7.. My older sister (#3) would complain to my dad and say "why couldn't y'all have stopped at 3" and my dad responded with "what if we stopped at 2"..
My aunt and uncle "couldn't" have kids so they adopted twins. Within a few months my aunt turns up pregnant.
My niece and her husband have 5 and I think she is expecting the 6th one..

My fiancée and I want as many as the good lord provides. Ideally 5-6 children. Although we would stop at 7...but then again, who knows

We always planned on having one after we got married. My wife had a child and a brief marriage in her early 20s. She got pregnant pretty soon after we got married. A bit sooner than we had planned. We are too old to have any more.
