I wanted 6 when I was little. 3 boys and 3 girls, just like the Brady Bunch. Now I have one boy and I want one more before I quit.
-
When I was younger I wanted like 3 or 4, now I'm thinking two is a more realistic number. None yet, but ask me again in 3 years :D
-
i wanted 4, i have none.
-
I wanted 3 boys. But my husband, at the time, was always in bars, so, I'm glad I have the one I have. One is PA-lenty!
-
I did not want any children when I was small. Be careful what you wish!
-
I guess I wanted 2-3. I have none and this appears to be how its gonna stay.
-
i wanted none still have none but i am young and i am thinking about having 2 some time in the future....... distant future lol i wouldnt care what sex they were i would love them all the same : )
-
none. and i didn't want to be married either. i was a mini-feminist as a child (all about the i want to be this or that.. anything but wife and mother, but had no idea about the politics, etc) however, now i have two beautiful kids and an awesome hubby and i wouldn't change a single thing about my life.
-
When I was little I didn't give a second thought to how many children I might have. I've got 2 sons.
-
I am gonna be 49 in a few months. Too late. I messed up and now ... no kids. Just a lot of regrets now, in not having a child when I could have.
-
I always wanted a big family as i was the only child.I wanted 6. And guess what??????I had 6 :)
-
When I was little, I always thought I would have 2, a boy and a girl. But, my wife had other ideas. We ended up with 3. The 1st 2 were girls. I was perfectly happy with those 2 children, but the wife came up to me 3 years later and said she wanted another. That's when we had our hard-headed son, LoL! Then, I had myself fixed. My wife still says if I hadn't, that she wanted a fourth. But, it's a good thing we didn't, since I have become disabled since then. We have barely hung on, since the kids started driving. The cost is tremendous!
-
well you see when i was a child, i thought everything was easy. i wanted 2 childern. but..i meet george, and damn me still be hittin it ;] 8th child on its way bby.
-
I wanted one..lost 4(miscarried) had eggs taken when diagnosed myeloma before treatment started and considering having a surrogate carry the child for me. I am the last of my family and would love to have a child to not only carry on the family bloodline but to love before I go.
-
I wanted no children, and a bunch of pets. I got my wish :)
-
None. I distrusted myself even then. The only child I have now is still myself!
-

-

-
None and none. I am the youngest of 9 children. There are enough children from them that if I want one, I will borrow him/her.
-
Ha ha ha!! When I was young I wanted NOTHING to do with children!! I was NEVER getting married and NEVER having any children! When I was a teenager I began babysitting and this only confirmed my desire to NEVER have any children! Children seemed to flock to me though. Everywhere I went, they wanted me to "play with them". It drove me nuts!! Then I met the man of my dreams (I was 15, he was 16 - ha ha ha), and all I could think about was marrying him and having his children!! CRAZY!! We eventually married when we were 20 and 21 and had 3 children. I am glad I was too young and stupid to really stick with my "decision" not to ever marry or have children!! My children are all grown now and I'm a grandmother!! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing! I'd still marry young and I'd still have 3 children at a young age too. I'm still young enough now to enjoy my grandchildren and not just be sitting around in a rocking chair wishing they'd be quiet and sit still!! Ha ha ha!!

When I was a child I imagined having 2 a boy and a girl. The boy being older than the girl so he could protect his little sister. When I did actually become pregnant I didn't care if I had a boy or a girl, just a healthy baby. I have a 5 year old boy now. And sadly have not been able to become pregnant with my second in the 3 years that I have been trying.
-
I wanted two. One boy and one girl. Right now, I don't have any :-(.
-

-
I always wanted 6, 3 boys and 3 girls yet I stopped at 3. Their more difficult than I once thought being inexperienced.
-
I have always wanted only two. I grew up with four siblings, and it was way too much for me. I'd be content with a small family.
-
i never wanted children. i dont have any human children but i have 6 four legged children.
-
When I was younger I didnt want kids at all and I was adamant that I wouldnt have any. As soon as I got pregnant and had my son I wanted another one. Unfortunatley I cant have anymore.
-
None. Two. Your view of the world changes as you grow up.
-
I always said I wanted 1-2 and I have not been blessed with any yet!
-
growing up I wanted 4. I had one then wanted none. LOL just kidding. I have two wonderful boys. I always thought that was a great number. Although I wouldn't mind adding a sister.
-
4..two boys and two girls 4..one boy and three girls
-
I always wanted 5 and am grateful to say that I have 5
-
I always wanted 2 1boy and 1 girl; the boy first! I have 2, my son and his little sister; both very grown now1 So I also have 11 grandchildren and 6great grandchildren with 2 more on the way!
-
really little i wanted 6, no idea why just i was an only child so i wanted a big family. as a teenager and early 20s i wanted none, hated kids, too much work, too selfish to give up my time for them now i want two. I realize the costs of raising a family and that my current man and i cant afford a big family and even if its not him i dont think i want a huge family anymore, but i also dont want just one as i am an only child and i wouldnt want to do that to my kid (i love my mom and dad and being an only wast in their plan just nature was not helpful to them). currently i have none but my guy has one and i love that child as if they were my own and hope to be a family plus a baby one day :) but if it never happens i can be happy jsut us three just will feel for that child as they age is all!
-

We plan on as many as God blesses us with, but we're only hoping for two or three- my wife would be fine with four, as well. We currently have one very loved little boy.
-
I dreamed as a kid that I would have 3 but I only have one he is 6yrs and he actually would like a brother/sister to play with, or at this point babysit..lol, but I am single so there goes my wishes of having 3...

When I was a kid, I figured I’d have two—a boy and a girl—just like my parents did. Then as a teenager, I started dating a girl that was the oldest of seven and was *amazed* by the amount of love in their family. We eventually decided we wanted ten. That was fifteen years ago. That girl is now my wife, but we’ve had severe fertility problems. We’ve been incredibly blessed with a daughter (through adoption) and a son (through a miracle pregnancy). We’re hoping to have at least one more, but would *love* it if we could still pull off having four or five, through whatever means God chooses to provide.
-
I am Fifteen and want 5 (:
-
I wanted none and I am expecting our fourth....can't imagine life without kids now!
-
When I was very young I wanted three. Later, I said I wanted a dozen. I currently have 13 furry, four-legged, height-challenged children and no two-legged children.
-
I wanted enough to have my own "special teams unit". I have 2, and thinking about a 3rd maybe...
-
I didn;t think about having kids when I was a kid myself. I have 2 now though.
-
I really wanted twin girls. Hannah and Hailey. I had it all planned out lol. I do have 2 children. My son is 5 - Sean. My daughter is 2 - Sara. I wanted to name her Hannah, but, my SIL's dog's name is Henna and people made some comments on it, so we chose Sara. Our children have the same initials SEG.
-
I wanted 7 kids, one for each day of the week. 4 boys 3 girls. I only had 1 a girl.
-
When I was a child I wanted to have 9 children (boys, girls I didn't mind). There was a neighbouring family with 12 children. I thought it was fantastic! :-D (I only have two siblings) Now I have 2 children, and I hope I will have more: 4 or 5 if I can, but not 9! ;-)
-
when i was little i wanted about 4. now i want a whole football team worth of kids.
-
I must of had a little anger management problem as a kid, because I liked to spank my dolls & I used to say I hope I have four bratty boys when I grow up so I can spank them. Sure am glad that wish didn't come true.
