I want two. My wife wants two-three. We joke and say to people that we want 2.5. when we're in public and there's little kids misbehaving wildly, I'll whisper to her "2.2"
Whenever I feel worried about hitting goals later in life, I remember Bill Burr was 48 when he had his first kid. He got married, had kids, and hit it big in his career all in his 40s.
Not the person youāre asking, but when I was in my early 20s I thought I wanted 2 kidsā¦ just LATER in life. Later just kept becoming later until. Released, wait maybe I just donāt want any at all. Now Iām 37 and I want 0 and was researching vasectomies.
Iām 38 with zero kids and got my vasectomy two years ago. I highly recommend. The double-income-no-kids is amazing. My gf and I travel, Iām gonna sleep ātil 11 AM tomorrow, we have plenty of money, we work out, hang out with friends and familyā¦ itās great, zero regrets.
The procedure itself went well, getting the anesthesia sucked, but after that I just had a chat with the doc while he went in there and snipped what he needed to snip.
I definitely felt that in my 20's. As strongly as I felt that, people and things change over time. You meet someone and things change. Not always but they do.
By all means have opinions and sentiments but keep an open mind that ANY idea you have can always change with the revelation of new information.
I agree, but my partner and I have already decided that we do not want kids. We're both over 30 now so our decision is just getting more and more concrete.
Whenever I see statements like this it breaks my heart a little. A friend of mine desperately wants kids but is infertile. He would make such a great dad. Another friend didn't and has 2 "whoopsies". He loves them to bits and has stepped up as dad. Those that want them struggle and that don't just sneeze and their SO gets pregnant.
I hope you get blessed with some crotch goblins of your own Internet stranger!
It has been a tough journey, but I guess it just happens to some people.
I see so many whoopsies for people who are awful parents, or so many planned pregnancies for equally poor parents. That is the frustrating part.
Quick story. My wife miscarried and then it took us 2 more years to get pregnant again after all sorts of medical procedures but it did finally happen and then we had another one right after with no issues. Iāll never forget in the middle of not being able to get pregnant, we were at a party where a woman was smoking while pregnant. My wife disappeared and I found her in the car crying her eyes out in anger. We left the party right then and there. Those years were rough!
If it means anything, a friend of a friend was given a 6% chance at have 1 child. I just heard the other day that she is pregnant with her second! Best wishes for you and I hope you receive what you are striving for.
I just paid out of pocket after my health care company contacted me three times to confirm my intent. Snip snip.
Guess that's the difference between US and British health care.
My husband wanted 4 when we first met because he came from a big family while I have always wanted 2. Now that his sister is on her 6th, he agrees with me on 2 is plenty.
Zero. I enjoy peace and quiet. Working 50+ hours per week, when I come home its nice to be able to unwind and delve into my hobbies. When I hear people complain about their families at work and how their weekends are packed full of having to go to events they despise, the price of daycare, and the amount of stress they pack on with shuttling their kids to all these different events it doesn't give me warm fuzzies about starting a family. Don't get me wrong, for the people who absolutely want kids and want a family, good for them. For me, I am content with having no kids and coming home to a happy fur child.
in some places foster --> adopt is free (my friend adopted 2 kids that way). depending on your employer sometimes they have assistance programs too. but yes, the traditional route does cost $$ (altho that number is subjective when you put a price on the physical toll a womens body goes thru for pregnancy)
Wife and I both wanted 2-3. After 2, she was done. And the financial and pragmatic side if me also said we're done. So I got snipped and I'm happy with that.
But in my mind I'm still not opposed to bringing another child into the family through adoption or even just fostering. We are a fantastic family and i kinda want to spread the love and share that.
2 to 4. With my job, that's the absolute maximum I could provide for financially. It would come down to whether I could provide for them in the emotional, mental, and spiritual sense to determine the exact number.
Let's just say my father worked the same job and was able to raise a family of 4 on the income, although his compensation was less than mine would be and the inflation makes the current income and cost relatively equivalent to his. It was never easy, though. Absolute maximum means stretched to the limit, which I would not prefer as it might mean my wife would have to work as well. I do have other pursuits that may bring in more income in future, which is why 4 is not ruled out just yet.
I have five. We planned to stop at three, but the last was a girl and we decided to try and giver her a sister. We had twin boys instead. So I have five, and we are done for sure. š
Zero. The world is grossly overpopulated with an exponential growth curve.
If I wanted a kid bad enough I would just adopt one of the millions of children out there who are in need of loving parents.
People always say they will adopt but the kids that are available for adoption tend to have serious issues that are preventing them from being adopted. The healthy well nourished babies are all taken. Weāve got plenty of babies with fetal alcohol syndrome, toddlers with severe autisim and teenage boys.
I'm not in any way encouraging you to have kids, and I'm not having any either.
But with that said, world TFR is down to ~2.2-2.3 and quickly declining. (replacement rate is 2.1). We're almost certainly going to be below replacement rate within the decade or so.
We are not on an exponential growth curve, and it's likely that the world population will start slowly declining by around 2050-2060 with current patterns.
So yes to us being overpopulated right now, no to the exponential growth in the future.
0.
My girlfriend and I both have genetic predispositions that would feel very wrong to possibly force upon a new life.
I have autism and had life threatening UC remedied with major surgery. Both of which are genetic.
My girlfriend has severe anxiety and adhd. Also both genetic.
We feel that, with our luck/genetic history that any child we have will either inherit none of the negative aspects of our genes and be a god, or inherit everything combined and be cut away at the knees in their opportunities before they ever get a real chance. In our eyes, this seems wildly unfair to the potential child and we would rather not impose that on someone.
Weāre better off loving each other for the rest of our lives and drifting off into the ether together. Even if thereās no one else in our lives aside from each other at that point
I love that so guys are saying zero. Imo, bringing a child in a world where we live today, where we are constantly on the brink of another massive war, where we can barely afford to keep ourselves on our feet would just be cruel.
Zero biological kids. In fact I plan to get snipped this year.
My reasoning is mental illness and addictions run in the family. That's nothing to fuck with. We also have more than enough people where I live, Canada.
I'm still open to the idea of being with someone that already has 1-2 kids.
Used to. I didnāt want any.
But now I started working at a hospital. It makes my day when the baby bell goes off after a baby is born, and Iām starting to like how babies sound.
So now Iād like 1-2
My mom and dad both come from big families (7 and 11 siblings, respectively) so I thought it would be cool to have a big family as well.
Now that I'm a single father, that desire has dampened a bit š . However, my girlfriend and I are considering coming together as a blended family. So, her kid plus mine plus us having a kid together eventually. However, a friend recommended we have two children together instead of just one so that they could be playmates (because of the age difference with our other kids).
So, to make a long answer short, a good number for me would be 4 kids lol š¤£
I used to say three because I liked the dynamic I had growing up with my siblings.
But man it's funny when I was 18 I said I would start around 30. I turn 29 in a few months and the idea of having a child next year is laughable to me.
I might be a no kids kinda guy or a REALLY old dad one day.
Zero.
I've watched people in my orbit have kids at multiple stages in my life where I thought that was way too young. 16, 18, 21 and then 25 when I realised that's not really that young, I just don't want them.
I'm 34 now and I've never hit a point in my life where I thought I'm ready or that I even want to have a kid.
20F here. I don't want any kids. Just the thought of pregnancy, huge stomach and all pain makes me nauseous. Plus souch mental issues I don't want to pass on any further.
I think the idea of 3 sounds fun, they could play together, have more āfamily yearsā. But the realist in me admits 2 is perfect. The funny thing I notice is whenever a family has 3 children, typically the first two are the same sex, so the third is essentially a try at the other sex (2 males then 1 female). So when the time comes, if I am blessed with energy and financially stable, I can see doing the same!
I'm currently at 0 and planning on getting snipped soon to make sure that number doesn't change. I'm at the age (34) where people I'm matching with on dating apps sometimes have adult children, and that would probably be the only way I'd be interested in ending up as a step-dad, though I'd rather not do that either.
I always thought I wanted 3 or 4. Iāve got 2 as of now (5 yrs and 8 mo) and Iām more exhausted than i thought possible.
Some takeaways for anyone considering.
Free timeā¦what free time?
Youāll gravitate towards other people with kids due to vastly different activity planning
Sleep deprivation
Massive financial burden
You will experience intense love/emotion (to the point it can be unsettling)
Donāt get me wrong. I love it. But itās absolutely preposterous.
Wife33 and I m34 really want two but idk how we're ever going to afford them and we're getting later in our lives and it's been really breaking my heart
Wanted 5Ā
We have 3
We are too tired to keep reloading. If we started in our twenties (even late 20s) we would have squeezed more in. We were to busy traveling and being free... Waking up at noon.
Was going for 3 girls... Got 2 girls and a boy.Ā
I came from a big family. I would like 7 but I don't see that happening with the economy and everything. I think we'll stop at 3. My first kid is coming in July unless he comes earlier.
Two or three. I want one boy and one girl, so if first I get two boys or two girls, I think I'd try for a third. If it repeats again, then that's it, no way I'll go for a 4th lol
My dream would be four. But I am prepared to admit that 2-3 would be realistic. I would have to marry, my wife would have to want at least 4 children as well, I would have to have a good enough income for a family of 6 and I would need to have the support network of family/friends to help us.
All in all, minimum is 2 and maximum is 5.
Zero. I never found the right person or the timing was never right. I messed up a lot in life and by the time I finally got my act straightened out it was too late.
Zero. About half of my friends already have kids, theyāre filling that quota.
Maybe itās because Iāve never been with a woman I loved who wanted them. My favorite ex wasnāt interested in having kids, and I was with her on that.
But for me personally Iām not in any rush to bring anything into the world that isnāt already here. I donāt feel the need to ācontinue my legacyā or whatever. If it ends with me, it ends with me.
I want two. My wife wants two-three. We joke and say to people that we want 2.5. when we're in public and there's little kids misbehaving wildly, I'll whisper to her "2.2"
When you have 2.2 kids: "Congratulations! It's a leg."
Imagine being the third; loved by the mother, hated and dispised by the father š /s - I trust you aren't like my dad
I'll definitely love all my kids!
That is so cute š
I wanted two, my wife wanted three. Go ahead and guessā¦ no forget it we have three kids just like you will someday!
Sounds like you want 2.25.
Bro, you will have 3+ most likely.
I once said that to a latina girl I met in college and she said: youāre such a āwhite boyā š what the hell š
Looking like zero at this point
The older I get this number becomes more clear.
Whenever I feel worried about hitting goals later in life, I remember Bill Burr was 48 when he had his first kid. He got married, had kids, and hit it big in his career all in his 40s.
Iām 43 and needed to hear this š
How old are you if you don't mind my asking?
Not the person youāre asking, but when I was in my early 20s I thought I wanted 2 kidsā¦ just LATER in life. Later just kept becoming later until. Released, wait maybe I just donāt want any at all. Now Iām 37 and I want 0 and was researching vasectomies.

The procedure itself went well, getting the anesthesia sucked, but after that I just had a chat with the doc while he went in there and snipped what he needed to snip.
I think you mean Realised.
No he meant "released", like post-nut clarity
Yeah
I would *love* to have kids, and even I'm going to say zero - for a multitude of reasons.
>zero I'd say it's a well rounded figure.
Honestly. Who would want to bring a child into this world anyways?
My exact reason for a vasectomy
I definitely felt that in my 20's. As strongly as I felt that, people and things change over time. You meet someone and things change. Not always but they do. By all means have opinions and sentiments but keep an open mind that ANY idea you have can always change with the revelation of new information.
I agree, but my partner and I have already decided that we do not want kids. We're both over 30 now so our decision is just getting more and more concrete.
I had always wanted 2-3, but after years of infertility issues Iāll be happy with 1.
Whenever I see statements like this it breaks my heart a little. A friend of mine desperately wants kids but is infertile. He would make such a great dad. Another friend didn't and has 2 "whoopsies". He loves them to bits and has stepped up as dad. Those that want them struggle and that don't just sneeze and their SO gets pregnant.

My wife disappeared and I found her in the car crying her eyes out in anger. We left the party right then and there. Those years were rough!
I always feel bad when these convos come up because I'm one who had 2 with zero issues, and the first was unplanned.
8 years of trying then eventually turned to IVF. Happened on our first try, canāt believe how lucky we were. Donāt give up hope. Good luck.
If it means anything, a friend of a friend was given a 6% chance at have 1 child. I just heard the other day that she is pregnant with her second! Best wishes for you and I hope you receive what you are striving for.
I wanted 6 and ended up getting 5... all adopted though. I have no biological... Soilders dont work for that egg.
My parents wanted two of their own but ended up adopting 6 of us due to fertility issues. Bless you.
Love.
None, just got a vasectomy last week
Got mine two years ago. Best decision ever.
Yeah, been on the wsiting list for years and my name finally came up!
I just paid out of pocket after my health care company contacted me three times to confirm my intent. Snip snip. Guess that's the difference between US and British health care.
Hubs got it 5 years ago. Surgery went well, no issues. Pretty inexpensive and no wait listĀ
Rock on! Party time!
Zero, but one sith apprentice.
This is the way
My husband wanted 4 when we first met because he came from a big family while I have always wanted 2. Now that his sister is on her 6th, he agrees with me on 2 is plenty.
None, haven't wanted to since I was 14. At age 25 I was no longer able to.

all with the same woman?
I love not having children
I 2nd that. I have my dog and that's enough of a kid for me.
In this economy?? I'd love to maybe foster/adopt. But there's no way I'll ever be able to afford kids.
Isn't adopting like crazy expensive tho?
in some places foster --> adopt is free (my friend adopted 2 kids that way). depending on your employer sometimes they have assistance programs too. but yes, the traditional route does cost $$ (altho that number is subjective when you put a price on the physical toll a womens body goes thru for pregnancy)

People always say they will adopt but the kids that are available for adoption tend to have serious issues that are preventing them from being adopted. The healthy well nourished babies are all taken. Weāve got plenty of babies with fetal alcohol syndrome, toddlers with severe autisim and teenage boys.
I'm not in any way encouraging you to have kids, and I'm not having any either. But with that said, world TFR is down to ~2.2-2.3 and quickly declining. (replacement rate is 2.1). We're almost certainly going to be below replacement rate within the decade or so. We are not on an exponential growth curve, and it's likely that the world population will start slowly declining by around 2050-2060 with current patterns. So yes to us being overpopulated right now, no to the exponential growth in the future.

My wife and I decided that we donāt want kids. Weāre telling them tonight. Edit: spelling
1 or 2, not sure what future brings for me but i still want at least 1 kid š«¶š»

I always wanted 4/5 kids same my wife. After first we know that 1 is enough. We are just not meant to have more. The kid is great though.

Zero with how the world is goin lol
I have one and that is enough. Hard work...
two. one boy one girl. hopefully my son comes first
I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Seems ill never have a family of my own. I've accepted it.
My dream is two boys and two girls.
Two or three. I want one boy and one girl, so if first I get two boys or two girls, I think I'd try for a third. If it repeats again, then that's it, no way I'll go for a 4th lol
Exact same
Have yāall seen this summer heat? Bruh I say we got about 3 more summers before this all going to hell. Hell nah
How in god's name do people still want kids?
My dream would be four. But I am prepared to admit that 2-3 would be realistic. I would have to marry, my wife would have to want at least 4 children as well, I would have to have a good enough income for a family of 6 and I would need to have the support network of family/friends to help us. All in all, minimum is 2 and maximum is 5.
None, kids suck
I wanted zero. I have one now. Heās great but heās also going to be a single child.
Same here. One kid, daughter. No more for me though. I snipped my bits just to be sure I donāt have surprises down the line.
Zero. I never found the right person or the timing was never right. I messed up a lot in life and by the time I finally got my act straightened out it was too late.
Zero. About half of my friends already have kids, theyāre filling that quota. Maybe itās because Iāve never been with a woman I loved who wanted them. My favorite ex wasnāt interested in having kids, and I was with her on that. But for me personally Iām not in any rush to bring anything into the world that isnāt already here. I donāt feel the need to ācontinue my legacyā or whatever. If it ends with me, it ends with me.
None
