How many kids do you have/want?
So I'm just curious. How many kids do you have or do you want? I just had my first and I want like 8. I'd love to have 4 kids and adopt 4 kids but only if I could afford them financially and be able to take care of them properly. But DH only wants this one lol. We have settled on 3 which has taken a lot of discussing. He keeps trying to catch me at my worst to see if I'll say no to more kids. He even asked me while I was in labor trying to push her out...I still said yes to more kids lol.

I came from a large family, I'm the oldest of 7 and while some can do large families... I can't, I grew up feeling like I didn't get the attention I needed because there was always a new brother or sister being born and I began taking care of them and pretty much becoming a mom at 8, and I don't want my children to feel like they have to compete for attention like my siblings and I did, or that my oldest feels like he/she has to be a parent and help out.
Now he keeps saying we will have one more.. but I dont know if I agree or not haha
sorry i just gave you my whole life story!
But, because of that I don't want a bunch of little ones, I want each of my children to feel like they are loved and needed and wanted and not to feel like they are constantly being replaced by another baby.
Not all large families are like this, but ours was and so because of that I don't want it.
@rckprincess2 - I think as long as you are aware of that and take the time it wont happen... but my parents weren't.
