    Default How many children do you want?

    Assuming you don't have them already. And if you do, did you end up having the number you originally planned?

    I definitely want 2, maybe 3, but that also depends the gender the first two.

    I used to say "one or *maybe* two" (when my politics were vastly different). Now I say "two or *maybe* three." If I were to become really wealthy (from scratch-offs, heheh), I'd gladly push my luck a bit further.

    Three actually seems like a lot today, but then I think about how many siblings I grew up with (four) and I realize how weird it is to imagine only having one sibling. It almost seems like it would be kind of lonely.

    I would like an only child because a lot of psychologists say it helps to develop their intellect by surrounding them with adults, to raise the bar somewhat.
    But I can definitely imagine that after I have my first child with someone I love, I'd keep wanting more kids.

    Yeah, and I think having children (provided you do it the proper way) is a grand thing.

    I'm the oldest of four, myself. I remember people sort of regarding my mother as a nut. She did all right, though.

    Hmmmm...I don't want to dismiss this, but I think there is a lot more to the story than this. The same crowd that says that kind of thing also strikes me as the same people who were saying absorbing classical music while in the womb and during infancy made kids into geniuses. Now that's been almost utterly discredited. I think much of a child's potential is laced within their DNA. And many psychologists think so too. Google "Hans Eysenck," for example. He was one of the most famous in his day.

    1-4 depending on the father and the situation. But 3 sounds perfect really.

    2 or 3 ideally. but that's being an idealist. I don't actually understand the importance of siblings, since I was an only child. step-sisters that lived in a different country, yes. but not blood related siblings.

    I voted 3 - 4. I have 3 children, two sons and a daughter, and they are very precious to me.
