How many children would you have ideally?

[AWitchCalledMeg]

I mean ideally as in no time/age/money/fertility/cultural conventions/partner/lack of support etc barriers. How many would you have/have had?
For me.. about 6 or 7. I have two and one on way but have always loved the idea of big family.

4

We have three

I had a miscarriage between 1 and 2 and by the time 3 came we felt that the age gap between 1 and a potential 4 would be to big (for us, it would be 8+years)

[sausagepastapot]

Ideally 4, but I have two and we are not having any more for loads of reasons.

[Elllicam]

1. I have 3 now, hopefully time for one more.

[SuperBeagle]

2.

I have 4. 😳

[DramaAlpaca]

I'd have liked four, but three turned out to be the right number for me.

[BertAndKhloe]

One and I have her. I only ever wanted one daughter since I was a little girl playing mummy and daddy. No more. Never ever ever!

[NameChanger22]

Ideally I'd have one. I have one.

[Ridingthegravytrain]

One (I have two)

[SilentBob]

Exactly what NoArmaniNoPunani said, sadly.

[lilydaisyrose]

I have 3 and would have 4 or 5 if I was younger & richer.

[RickOShay]

four. lovely number. Left it too late though, but did manage three.

[sysysysref]

3 and i have 3. Nothing would entice me to have more

[Aquamarine1029]

2 and I have 2.

[Vinorosso74]

2 one of each. I know, I know!

[GingerAndTheBiscuits]

I always said 4 but now with two regardless of material reasons I know I couldn't give the same attention to a third, so 2 feels right for me.

[Sierra259]

2, and I have 2.

[NoArmaniNoPunani]

I only have one. I would like 2 but it's not going to happen

[Coddiwomple]

6, I love big families.

I stopped at 4, purely for financial reasons!

[Ilovecoleslaw]

2 for me and dp, always been our perfect number
