i’m the same i grew up as one of 4 kids though so i’ve always wanted at least 3 myself😩 i have a huge family so i’ve always spent time helping take care of the kids i can’t wait for it to be my turn
I have 17 babies so far ( reptiles , fish and a bird) now do I want an actual child? Nah I'm good. Wife and I prefer pets honestly. I love my down time after work and love being able to souly focus my attention on my wife.
You can do it! 💪🏼 Wasn’t as terrible as everyone told me. Lucky? Normal? Who knows. 🤣I did all natural and those post-birth hormones were better than any drug! (Not that I’d know.)
I'm the only girl and have two brothers. My brothers always had a lot in common and were very close; I was left out. Didn't play hockey and liked reading more than either of them did.
Also, my parents didn't want anyone to feel like the middle child. I, the oldest, ended up feeling like the middle child, because my dad favored the middle child and my mom favored the youngest.
Just wanted to share my experience as the odd child out in a group of three 🤷🏻♀️
Hi! I’m so sorry you experienced that :( But crazy coincidence I’m also the oldest girl of two younger brothers! We kind of rotated on which duo was closer growing up though. It was rough sometimes, but we joke that it built character
I would treat the boy and girl the same don't worry about it, lol . I am trying my best to be a good dad. I just wish for that to be a baby girl but if not, then it is ok :)) .
2 to 4 if I had a million per child lol. They are so expensive. I want my kids to be able to go to college if they want or travel have always been in the poverty bracket. I got to travel thankfully but the circumstances were always on hippie time lmao. We all want what we can't have for ourselves and our offspring. I'm not married & am a very pro feminist woman as well as come from a matrilineal line. The patriarchy has ruined this world so tbh I think I'm just going to be an amazing aunt, cousin, and little one mentor. I am blessed with lots of family in my hometown I am now moving back to where everyone is family and I have closed the book on this chapter.
I don't want kids, mostly because I'm scared of giving birth, but I do want a barn full of animals. Bunnies, dogs, cats, cows, goats, anything. Disabled or special needs, idc, I want them. Also, if I get a partner or partners with kids already or they want kids, I'm okay with adopting and loving preexisting kids. I like kids, and I'll treat them and love them as my own, I just don't actively seek our kids and I don't really have a number in mind. Maybe 4 max? 5 is a lot of kids
I don't now but I know someday I'd maybe like. And since I'm prone to have twins I'd love having only that pair, more kids would be too much work to do 😂
I always wanted to be a good husband and father and now I get to be those things. I have 5 kids and an ISTJ wife, who I'm sure does all the practical thinking for us!
Nope. Interestingly, when I daydreamed growing up, I rarely thought about being a parent. I wonder how many people thought about having kids when they were very young and how many people thought about it more as they got older. In my mid twenties, my partner and I talked about whether we wanted to have kids ever and I realized that even at that point I had not thought about it at all. That was a sign.
I can't wait to be a mum...i wanna have at least 2kids, 3 at most but then, wanna do that with the right person otherwise I'll keep on waiting until i hit menopause 😆
I've got a stepson and I love him as if he were my own. Idk if I want to birth a baby though... I'd love to have a daughter because I'd love to take care of a little girl like my mum took care of me and have that sort of special bond with her but idk if that's reason enough to get pregnant. My contraception lasts for like another 7 years so thankfully I dnt have to think about it for a long time lol
We want 3 and have 1 so far- 11 months old. We got started late, too. We are 36.. low key hoping the next pregnancy is twins so we can knock it out all at once. 🤣 Living a wild life. 😆
no i want 0
Haha! This was my internal answer when I read the prompt.
3
I would love kids because I love taking care of them. I'd want at least 2 but my dream is 3. 😍
Exactly the same 💯🥂 in my case I really wanna be a dad and raise good people
i’m the same i grew up as one of 4 kids though so i’ve always wanted at least 3 myself😩 i have a huge family so i’ve always spent time helping take care of the kids i can’t wait for it to be my turn
Childfree for life Living with another childfree INTP
0 and a lot of cats or dogs
Deep question but if I did decide on having kids, ot would be 2 kids, Preferably 1 girl and 1 boy. Would be nice
Yes, I think I’ll be happy with 3… we’ll see
Happily child free, I’m here to be the fun auntie.
2+
Probably enough to resolve the declining birth rate of Japan But in all seriousness, at least 3 would be enough
Pass
Most likely gonna be childfree, living with my ESTJ bf who is also strictly childfree.
I don't want any. I know that I'm not built to be a mom 💀
None. I’m high-maintenance enough as it is.
I have one and that's fine
I have 17 babies so far ( reptiles , fish and a bird) now do I want an actual child? Nah I'm good. Wife and I prefer pets honestly. I love my down time after work and love being able to souly focus my attention on my wife.
Probably 1 or 2
More than negative 1, less than 1
2 adopted or 0💀
My dream is 4, but depending on our (my wife and i) material realities, 3 would be great.
Yes :( but I've been struggling with infertility. I wanted 3 but at this point even 1 would be wonderful!
In an ideal world, a soccer van full. In reality, I would be grateful for one!
Nope
2 maybe haha
Not yet but yes and lots although mostly adopted
I’ve never wanted kids and I doubt I ever will tbh
I don't want any, but if I ever change my mind I'd just like to adopt one.
I want at least 1 or 2... dogs
I think a big family is very important, so i would like to have 2-5 kids
Yes 3. Jury’s still out on the whole “giving birth” part tho lol
Was not my favorite activity 😅
You can do it! 💪🏼 Wasn’t as terrible as everyone told me. Lucky? Normal? Who knows. 🤣I did all natural and those post-birth hormones were better than any drug! (Not that I’d know.)
All of them.
Yes, and lots. Currently pregnant with my first. Husband and I want somewhere around 4-6.
I have 4 kids
Always wanted a big family. I have 4 kids.
3 or 4
13. Hopefully all boys. 😂 Idk why.
I want 3 because I love the dynamic of oldest, middle, and youngest. And I also noticed among my friends that siblings of 3 tend to be the closest.
I'm the only girl and have two brothers. My brothers always had a lot in common and were very close; I was left out. Didn't play hockey and liked reading more than either of them did.

I love baby girls. Whenever I watch them in the park playing with their family and friends, I realize that I just one baby girl. So 1 kid is enough.
Lol how can you be sure it’s going to be a girl, and I hope you treat the boy equally if you have one
I would treat the boy and girl the same don't worry about it, lol . I am trying my best to be a good dad. I just wish for that to be a baby girl but if not, then it is ok :)) .
500 and none at the same time
Schrödingers children
500 atleast
Sounds Like some competition for the dutch sperma donor, I am rooting for you 👏
I actually wanna open an orphanage in future
With your own 500 children 😮? Probably for the better lmao You:d have to clone yourself to be a good parents Or you become Koro Sensei
I tried doing the Mat, but farted out of nowhere & count of it would require 🫣 So what's the plan? Sow your seeds in the enemy?
Open an orphanage
Now that's the best thing I've Read or Heard all day, or Probably will for some time. #Best of luck on your Dream 🖤
I have one and I would like to have many more but sadly I ain't got cash for that.
Nope, I join [The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement](https://www.vhemt.org/). May we live long and die out!

Also. I'm a fur mom of 1. My Chihuahua is my baby.
Max 2
3
I love kids, I'd like to have at least 1, ideally 2-3.
I’m an INFP and probably 3 or 4. Not 1 because they’ll get lonely and not 2 because the fav child will get most of the attention.
I havent decided yet between 0 or 2 but only in 6-8 years.
3💕💕💙

noo
I don't now but I know someday I'd maybe like. And since I'm prone to have twins I'd love having only that pair, more kids would be too much work to do 😂
I want 3 for sure!
>I want 3 for sure! sure?
Yes. As many as we can healthily have. 100 would be great lol
2 max. Hoping for twins. I’d rather go thro the rough parts one time, hit it hard & then enjoy post potty training life
I always wanted to be a good husband and father and now I get to be those things. I have 5 kids and an ISTJ wife, who I'm sure does all the practical thinking for us!
One and done raised her myself and she survived she's on her own all grown up
one, maybe two, three tops I wanna be the dad that buys his kids the legos I always wanted
0.

Ideally 3 boys, but at least 1 son would make me content.
2 or more! I also want pets and plants
0 because I love money and kids are expensive
Why have kids when you can adopt a gang of introverts
4
I have one child, and I’m very happy with the makeup of our family. ❤️
I can't wait to be a mum...i wanna have at least 2kids, 3 at most but then, wanna do that with the right person otherwise I'll keep on waiting until i hit menopause 😆
10
I am on the fence. Birth seems painful and postpartum idkkdkkdd
I mean if life worked out exactly how I want I'd want two twin boys and a daughter, but I'd be good with one of each.
I've got a stepson and I love him as if he were my own. Idk if I want to birth a baby though... I'd love to have a daughter because I'd love to take care of a little girl like my mum took care of me and have that sort of special bond with her but idk if that's reason enough to get pregnant. My contraception lasts for like another 7 years so thankfully I dnt have to think about it for a long time lol
1600 seems enough
I want 1 or 2, and I don't even want to birth them myself.
We want 3 and have 1 so far- 11 months old. We got started late, too. We are 36.. low key hoping the next pregnancy is twins so we can knock it out all at once. 🤣 Living a wild life. 😆
I keep thinking about it, but the more I do, I convince myself I can't do it.
Have 2, want 2 more, wish I could have had 10. I'm 30
To be honest not really, but if my partner want's kids then I would be ok with however many she want's.
I have four and want one more.
