I used to joke about wanting 14 (I have 7 siblings so 2 kids to babysit each, lol) but I really want 8 or 9 myself. I am the 4th of 8. My hubby is the youngest of 8 and he had one daughter before us and wants 8-9 more. We were blessed to find we both wanted large families after coming from them, which I've heard is rare.
So how many do you want? And your spouse?

Well if you can financially afford 8 children and are healthy enough to go through that many pregnancies then go for it! I only wanted 2 but I ended up with 4; two boys, 12 and 10, and two girls 6 and 19 1/2 months. My husband only wanted 2!! Go figure! he ended up with 7. Four with me and three from his previous marriage. Now he has 7 children and 4 grandchildren. He's the second to youngest of 11 and I am the youngest of 6. Good luck, make sure you have a big enough home!

I dont think i could afford to have that many kids and i am a bit on the selfish side i feel like having children means sacrificing freedom, but the main reason i dont want a lot is because of the pain, even though i dont hve any kids yet when i visualise having a baby whether its a normal delivery or c section i just get a cold sweat and get scared, but if i do have kids i think 2 will be good, i dont know how parents can treat larger numbers of kids fairly is that possible I wouldnt want anyone to feel left out and then blame it on me later on in life, I think smaller numbebrs can be treated fairly, but I am against having ono one child, its not fair on the child and that child USUALLY ends up a spoilt brat unless its for medical reasons! and my husband shares the same view as me.
But i think its really good that in this day and age u want that many kids and that u feel that u can cope, best of luck!

None!
She wants two or three, but will have to be disappointed because I've had a vasectomy. She doesn't know that; she thinks she's infertile. It's hysterical!
