How many kids do you want to have in your life time?

I sometimes think about adopting a child. Give them a chance to have a better life than what they probably have now. I do not want to contribute to Earth's population.

i wanna stay single i want to travel the world =)

I'm not sure I want to have kids, even though I adore the children I'm around (friends, work, family). I'm with Mcbride; if I do have kids, I really want to adopt them. That way an already existing little one will get the family they need and our family will get a wonderful little one.

I'm a little confused about what I want. I don't want kids (at least for now that is what I believe), for multiple reasons:

1)I think it's a great responsibility that I am not and never will be able to handle. I am too young now and probably immature, but besides that, which will hopefully change one day, I am a very selfish person and selfish people should not become parents! I HATE parents that spoil their children in ANY way, and I think only FEW of the people I know are truly good parents. And I hate the fact that anyone can go around and have children without being good and responsible and mature and ready enough to do so. Having that opinion, I cannot do anything else, but exclude myself from the people that should have children and hope that everyone would also actually think about their being able to raise a child before deciding to have one.
2)I think our society is getting worse and worse every day, (probably because most of us are not well raised haha)and every day of my life I see more and more of what I don't want to but have to face. I don't want my children to have to face what I am facing and I am sure that it will be worse by the time they would hypothetically be born.
3)Why help, with giving birth, propagating humanity? Just to satisfy my personal needs to give love to a child and feel complete and blah blah blah? Maybe what I have in mind is too ideal, but I am willing to give my love and devotion to the man of my life that I hope I'll find one day, and that's enough for me. If I manage (again, IF that ever happens) to have a lot of money, yes I might donate money to philanthropical organizations to help raise children under poverty. I think that is enough to feel complete. As if humanity has been good for this poor planet that is completely destroyed.

But I am too young to be very strict with my opinion, and I know that one day I might change my mind completely and decide I want to have children (if this world changes, and with it, I, become less selfish, and ready to be a good parent :P). If that EVER happens... In an ideal world I would like to have many children, probably 4. Two boys and two girls (so that they won't be alone:P)

I always thought I'd have 6. 3 boys, 3 girls. Now though, I'm a bit more tralistic. Maybe 2 girls. I can't have kids. I think adopting is wonderful too though.

I want kids but I can't find a female who wants to help me achieve my plans.

I guess maybe I should give up on my dream of spawning my own clan of ninjas trained since birth...

I felt broody when I was in my late teens but the feeling eventually passed and when I was in my twenties baby sitting my older sister's toddler twins put me off wanting kids. I'm now in my mid forties and still happily child free. I know it may sound selfish but I enjoy the freedom that comes from not being tied down with kids and I can do what I want when I want. Long live freedom.

Kids are not worth it.

They suck up all your money, time, freedom, emotions, peace of mind without even so much as a thank you. Can you say ungrateful? Even after all that they still usually grow up to hate you...why put yourself through all of that just for someone to hate you in the end?

one

I do not know if I want to have children. I suppose it depends on if I end up in a happy and stable relationship.

I've always wanted eight kids. Four boys, four girls. And it's got to go: boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl-girl, boy; "girl-girl" are my twins! ^.^ I realize this is a lot to ask for...

i don't never want any kids not how i am and how this world is.

Just one for me thank you. :)

Good old Darwin!

I'm not sure I could stop at one. Leaving a child without someone to play with at home just seems cruel. I'll say at least 2 and maybe 3.

the most i'd have is 6, but i'd most likely adopt most of them due to not being able to have biological children of my own

Define "have"

none really, but i feel its my duty as a white man to procreate with a white woman.

There are 6 kids in my family including me and let me tell you its possible if you have a calm and understanding mind

That's 0.88 kids per person if anyone's interested. I thought it'd be lower especially since people here are a bit more educated than the average person.

Id love to have 3 kids. Idealy 2 girls 1 boy. But if i have 2 kids i want 1 girl 1 boy.

I shoulda said FUCK THAT before I voted for not wanting any.Missed the other option before voting.

I wanna adopt a black boy from here (USA) like my "cousin" my uncle and aunt adopted him at age 9(: I would do that because too many babies are being adopted and not enough older kids): oh and I would have a kid on my own, preferably a girl, and we would live happly with my super hot Asian husband. Talk about that for diverse: a Asian dad, Jewish mom (ethnicly Jewish I'm atheist), a black boy, and a half Asian half Ukrainian girl(:
Of course we would live in California or Portland, Oregon (:

I'd love three kids. If it went my way it would be first kid a boy. then twins two girls. Twins run in the male sperm of my family and normally on the second birth. So hopfully i get that... however i realize that it will be my wife's job to pop them out. If you think thats horrible, I also like that dairy queen pregnate commercial. check it out.

As many as I can sell...

I already have 1, another to go and I'm set!:)

i think three is quite enough but its depends on fate...

ive thought about it and i want two girls and than years later two boys not all at once but the boys will come after the girls because if girls are difficult then id have enough exp to hand two boys and also are girls not the cutest(ive bin watching according to jim) and two of each so that they have someone closer to their age to uncderstand them coz god knows i wont LOL.

Undecided.But if I have any I want boys only.Girls are to much hassle.

i want three strapping boys!
