How many kids?

I dont know why people are stating what sex they would prefer. You can only control the number of kids you have, not the sex. Saying you want <insert number> boys and <insert number> girls is pointless because you might not get that. If it doesnt happen that way will you be disappointed? Will your children feel like they were a mistake because they werent that boy or girl you wanted?



If I have another kid one day, I wont care weather its a boy or a girl, so long as he or she is healthy then thats all that matters.
 
I want a child, I don't care about gender, and I don't really say why you want which!

That's just my preference. I will however be grateful, happy and loving to whatever pops out.
 
Well dont let your kids know your preference as they might go through the rest of their lives feeling like mistakes.

One is too lonely, so I'd say two is about right. Three at the most, but it just depends on where life takes me and who I'm with.

Good work Einstein.

I wouldn't let my kids know, unless they specifically asked if they were what we [myself and the wife] wanted.
 
Great way to distroy self worth and confidence in a small child.

Also how can you speak for your non existant wife, what if she wants 5 girls? What if she is like me and doesnt care what she gets as long as its born healthy?

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas
 
Just trying to tell you that you cant plan out these things.

Don't set expectations on something you have no control over.

Or just imagine the worst, it's likely to turn out better:lol:
 
I think i would only like one or two.
 
2-3 Maybe... I'm kind of hoping for a girl one day... you know so she can be as awesome as me... Actually mainly because I want a daughter named Xarina. Actually I'm not sure. I guess I want my genetic code to stay alive.
 
I have 2 grand children, 9 grand children, and 2 great grand children. I done now. lol
 
Not planning to have any.



If I for some reason change my mind sometime in the future then just one only. I've already talked to my parents and they didn't mind if I decide not to have any children which really made me happy. Most parents don't like the thought of not having grandchildren... That's the only thing that really worried me to be honest.



Let me just hope that whoever my partner will be won't mind ether.

I'd like two, no more. It would be cool for them to be guys, but I can't control that (and if I get girls or a girl that would be cool too

).
 
2 at least. I was an only child and really don't want my child to not have a sibling like I didn't. Maybe more as my current girlfriend has a larger family and therefore if we make it that far she might want more which is fine by me.
 
1 or 2. Did you not like being an only child?

If you're talking to me, I mean I dealt with it and do like it in some aspects but I just wonder what if I had a sibling. How much fun we could have had (if our ages were similar) and just all that. What ifs.
