How many children do you have/plan on having?

[Tadda]

I'm currently expecting No 4 - and just noticing that seems about the norm now?

Had a conversation the other day about 'used to be everyone wanted two, a boy and a girl'...how many is now classed as 'too many'??

I have 3 (aged 10, 9, 2) which is the norm in my circle, would love a fourth but nature isn't complying this time. It's not make or break though so if it didn't happen I'm not going to go crazy about it but would really love another baby... Neither struggling or wealthy...

In my social circle and that of my colleagues and other acquaintances 2 seems to be usual number.
In the service that I work for and families I support 4+ is pretty much normal. Nearly all my case loads have 4 or more siblings ( or half and step siblings)

Zero and zero

I have 2 (twins) and would love 4. I don’t think my dh wants anymore.

1. I don't plan on having more. If I had my time again, if I had children at all I'd stop at one.

We hoped to have 2, then decide if we should have more.

We had 2 DC, then decided our family was complete.

I don't think it's justifiable to have more than two. The world is in a terrible mess and population pressure is a large part of it.

I'm expecting number 2 and that will be it.

4 .With a 20 year gap between first and last.

I have four and want about seven

Two, and our family is most definitely complete.

Two and never plan on having any more. Know a lot of people who are all stopping at 2.
I’m stopping as I’ve no idea how I’d stretch myself any thinner and I’m a SAHM. Hats off to all the WOHM.

I philosophy is I only have 2 hands

I have one and might have another, might not. Wouldn't want more than two. Don't know many people with more than three

I have 2. I wouls have loved a third. DH already had a son and he thought 4 was too many. I probably could have persuaded him but for many reasons decided to stop at 2. I still have times when I yearn for a another.

I've had 6 and have 2 step-daughter's as well. I'm very stressed at the moment as I've been feeling pregnant, you know all the crappy early issues but really shouldn't be possible as DH had snip 4 years ago.

Have: 1 stepdaughter
Would like 2/3 more although having never experienced pregnancy and birth (DSD's Mum did all the hard work there ) I may have one and think never again.

Also worried if we have 3 more how do we handle cars, do we just have to take 2 cars every time we go out as a family or do we get a 7 seater. Hmm...

I have three, most people I know have two and some have one. Four would be quite unusual in my next of the woods.

I have one child and have stopped there. Most people I know have one or two children.

I know a lot of one's, twos and threes. A handful with four or more.

I think most people with no kids move somewhere else!

I would like at least three but ideally I'm picturing six or so. (It wont happen though because it's impractical and I don't think I would be able to afford or provide the care each child deserves if I had that many, which is sad but I know my limitations).

Currently expecting number one!

I would like 2! Possibly 3...... :)

I planned for two. Ended up with three - second pregnancy was twins. I'd never have had three if numbers 2 and 3 hadn't arrived together.

NameChangeToAvoidBeingFound I know what you mean, I've always pictured myself being a mum to a large group of kids. But not sure practically we could run a minibus to get them all about and fund clubs for them all to do let alone feed and clothe them all well

Happy with one.
I know 2 families with 4, it looks absolutely exhausting and is total chaos.
Most people I know have 2 or 3.
