How many kids do you intend to have?
I don't know if I want kids. Whenever I say "I don't want any kids!" My friends are like, "Watch, she's going to have like 10." I don't think I could go through it 10 times, . If any, I'd have just 2, but I will probably never be a mother. I'm bitter enough as it is. If I do, they will be boys, all 2 of them....

How Many Kids? (Hover)
Now that I'm (ahem!) middle-aged and beyond childbearing, I'm wistful... I wish I could have been in a situation to have had more children. I do think I could have handled it, if I had been married to the "right" man Of course, all of this is hindsight, it never happened the way I thought it should.
But I'm still thinking I should have had at least four. I think there is something missing in my life -- or "someone(s)" missing. Ah, well. I do love the ones I have

I always wanted to have 4 or 6 children. I really didn't care how many girls and boys either. My husband only wanted two. A girl and a boy. We never had any, I love my friends children as though they are my own, and I dearly love and cherish my nieces and nephews.
I am well past the childbearing age, so I guess I will just smother the cats I have with all the motherly love I can muster.
I remember when I was a kid. Around 14 or so, I used to say I wanted 10 kids, all boys. I had one! At least he was a boy.
I always wanted to only have 2 kids and now I do, so I feel very fortunate. When we got married, my wife talked about having 4-5 kids but after the second she saw my point of view I am also very lucky to have a boy and a girl. I know so many couples who have all boys or girls and keep saying they wish they had a boy/girl. I'm glad I dont have to think about that.
Comedian: One Child is Cute, Two Okay, Three is Crazy
The other evening, I burst into tears at a comedy routine. [..] I know, I know. It was just a joke. But it made me cry because it reminded me of a much bigger issue in our society: the worth we place on children. Ref. Source 9
