To those without children yet: How many children do you want in life?

For some reason, I was thinking about this today. Not that I'm anywhere near having children in my life, but one of these days, it will happen. Ideally, for me, I look at having 2 children at being optimal. The first you can spoil, and the second can save money and use all the stuff you have for the first one. Each children will always have a sibling and a friend, and with only 2 children, you wouldn't be as tied down with money for the next 18 years. Also, it seems as if many things you can do as a family is typically geared towards 4 people.

What do you guys think? Just my random post for the day.

I don't particularly want any. Especially little ones. They're more fun once they get to be 4 or 5, but WTF do you do with an infant except listen to it cry?

Au contraire. My little neice is 3 months and she only fusses when she wants teh boob. She even sleeps through the night, which is apparently unheard of.

I'd like 0, my wife wants 1. I'd like 1 if I could only see it on the weekends. 24/7 requires too much attention.

Did anyone see the special on the people with 14 kids and she's pregnant again. They think this is Gods will.

I never wanted any... not ever. But ... well, to be honest...

in all honesty, IF we ever have children, i would just want one... two at the very most. I say just one because we would probably have twins!

Enough to take care of all the chores and yardwork. So depending on the size of my house, 1-4 probably.

How many dead babies does it take...

Oh wait, this isn't that kind of topic. I guess I'll take the average amount of kids. That's what? 1.8 kids? Let me know where I can pick up 1.8 kids and I'll put the deposit down right now for them.

BTW, how am I suppose to take care of .8 kids? Do I need to alter all the clothes or something?
