More than one child...

I only aim to have one or two childre in my lifetime but I am curious as to some of the reasons why women would want 3, 4,5 or more children. It is just a question to put out there as I'm curious

Because my second turned out to be twins 😅

I love babies and children. I would have 10+ if I could afford it. I love watching them grow and learn their personalities, I also love seeing them interact with each other. I won’t always be here and I want them to have love and support of their sisters for a lifetime. I have 3 girls. I loved growing up with my 2 brothers and just can’t imagine a life without them.

I love kids! It’s rough but totally worth it to me. I grew up with a big family and loved it so I wanted my own big family. Now, we have 2 girls so we are hoping to have 4 kids and try for boys. My husband also agreed to 4 kids because he feels like it’s an accomplishment to be able to maintain, raise, and support a big family

Why do you only want one or two? For me, I simply always wanted a large family. I was the oldest of 3 but we didn't have a family culture (like I've built with my children) everyone spent a lot of time alone, especially when we were younger. The number of children changed over time. I figured somewhere between 3-5. My husband always thought 3 sounded good. We almost stopped at 2 but we had our 3rd & he's been such an amazing addition to our family. I'd love one more. Sometimes when we're out I go to count my boys & when I get to 3, I feel like someone is missing. I'm a stay at homeschooling mama & I genuinely enjoy being with & experiencing life with my children.

@Dana Lew Ideally one kid is good with me. I think it's just hearing stories of the struggles of motherhood that has put me off having a lot of kids. I'm pregnant so I can't talk about motherhood yet but I do wonder about how many women have a lot of strength to cope with motherhood because I'm quite frightened about it.

I want to one day be able to sit at a full table than have empty seats that could’ve been filled

I’m one of 6 siblings and love it, so always wanted a big family too, but more like 4 kids. As an adult I love having all my siblings as friends and just people you can depend on for help anytime. Parents grow old & die, we have siblings for much longer.

I come from a big family and I love it that’s why I got 3 and I want more

I grew up alone, so i always new I want 4 kids. Just because if they are 2 siblings and they get in fight, they don't have anyone else, and if there is 3 one will still be left out 😁

My husband and I both came from larger families and we both had wonderful experiences in them , I also view children as blessings and have always wanted at least 5 but I’m okay with what we have now as well 💕💕

If I had the choice and met my husband earlier in life, I would have tried for 3 because I'm one of 3 and I have always thought most people want what they had if they had a happy/contented childhood. My husband wants 2 and he's one of 2. Unfortunately for us, we're struggling to get number 2 as we've had 2 miscarriages since our daughter

Im with Aleka on this one… I just can’t imagine having more than 1 or 2. I can’t imagine being able to give them all attention and love as much as I’d want to. I’m about to have my first and everything is about her and I love that even if I was to have a second I would wait til she is like 5 I want to love on her and spoil her. also financially I can’t imagine being able to give more than one or two kids everything I would ideally want to. Like sign them all up for activities and all that

I’m one and done! At this stage I don’t understand why anyone would willingly go through this again
