How many kids will you have?

[The Devil Man]

I am on a Thread-creating rampage :mwahaha:

This morning, in the UK, in London, there was a short news article on TV about a woman with a jaw-dropping 12 kids :eek:

That freaked me out a little. I mean... 12 kids! :eek: :eek: :eek: How can a woman squeeze out 12 kids?! How can ya handle so many years of pregnancy? How can you give love and equal amounts of attention to 12 kids? More importantly... how can you remember the names and birthdays of all 12 kids!? :confused: :confused: :confused:

So Devil Man's question for the day is: How many kids will you have in the future? Will you have a fortune-saving Zero or a more manageable 3? Or will you be a lean-mean baby-producing machine and pop out 6, 7 or 8 kids, one after the other? Or even more!? :eek:

I think, with my future girlfriend/wife's permission, I'd like about 3. 4 would be nice too. What about you guys, or those that already are parents?

[Meat Puppet]

That fortune-saving zero looks nice, Devil Man. I think I will take that.

[black orb]

>>> Zero..

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Can't say that decision lies solely with me. Having said that, my own daughter, she don't even know me and when I went inside her momma told her I was dead which in a way I was

[Venom]

1.

[Rye]

I dunno if I'd even have a kid, but if I did, one is the limit.

[Christmas]

That depends on how many that stork can deliver to me I guess. :(

[The Devil Man]

I dunno if I'd even have a kid, but if I did, one is the limit.

Sweet Rye is the apple of Devil Man's eye :love:

I'd also adopt, for sure, without question. Maybe 2 kids if my girlfriend/wife agrees.

[Faris]

I have no idea. I'm not even sure if I want kids!

[Polaris]

I really really want four, but four its' too many kids to take care and you have think also about the money, I want to give them everything that I can and I want to pay attention to them so two would be nice and I really want to adopt one... I won't make the same thing as my mother coz i was 10 when my sister bornt and now we're very different and she wants to play with me and I don't want so they can't have a big age difference

[feona17]

Hmm... my whole life I've always said 2 but if I can, MAYBE 3. ^_^;

[Madame Adequate]

Two kids is the max I would consider. If I have them at all, which I don't think I stand much chance of :p

[Miriel]

4!

It's a nice even number.

I think it would be very very lonely to be an only child. This just comes from the fact that I only had my brother and even then it got lonely at times when we were mad at each other and we wouldn't talk for days. I always envied people who had lots of brothers and sisters. Both my parents had 4 other siblings so I have tons of aunts and uncles and cousins which is awesome.

Having a big family is a great thing, I think.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah, it gets lonely being an only child, but that gets made up for because you never have to fight siblings for stuff, and you get all the toys/games/outings for yourself.

Not having to share > being an only child.

[Loony BoB]

Birth to one, half way done!
Birth to two, that'll do!
Birth to three, vasectomy!

[Miriel]

Birth to one, half way done!
Birth to two, that'll do!
Birth to three, vasectomy!

Omg, that made me laugh so hard. :p

But then you don't have all those childhood sibling memories and you can't say things like, "remember the time you took me behind the sofa and cut off my hair with safety scissors?" Yeeeah, good times.

[Shlup]

I'm going for three. Four and I'd have to get a minivan! Boo!

[Giga Guess]

Birth to one, half way done!
Birth to two, that'll do!
Birth to three, vasectomy!

I lawled so, sooooo hard.


As for me...probably about 3 kids.

a.) DEFINATELY not now,
b.) Admittedly, it's not an easy avenue for me to go down either....so I may just fill the void by becoming a crazy cat person.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Two, and I've been told they have to be twins.

[bipper]

Three of my own and adopting Three down the road.

[Shaun]

None. Never ever...

[Twilight Edge]

Two. I'm a lone child myself so I don't want my kids to be alone because then they would inherit most of my DNA and end up being hermits that are anti-social and traps themselves in their rooms going on EoFF.

[mooglebunni608]

1, if any. And I'm going to adopt. but I might get twins... so maybe two ^_^

[Marluxiaswife]

i would want one, but i don't want my kid geting lonely... so i might want two, so they will have someone to be with and love :)

[Rusty]

I'd like four, I would like to adopt a couple also. But it's either that or zero. I'm not sure if I want kids or not yet.

[Ryth]

Zero or two, possibly three (the third would be one I would adopt, probably one of the older kids because they rarely ever get adopted, you know? =/ It's normally the babies only). Kids aren't something I'm really sure of yet.

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

About the first post, 12 kids ain't that spectacular. I've got friend, one of which has 15 brothers and sisters, and another with 11. One of my good friends is the baby of 7, and my former classmate is one of 8. So, 12 not so special in my opinion. As for me, I'm 1 of 1, but wish I had a brother. Life gets so boring growing up.

I'd like to have 2, but who knows. I may have none, one or a ton.


Birth to one, half way done!
Birth to two, that'll do!
Birth to three, vasectomy!

Birth to four, you know she's a whore.

[charliepanayi]

None - I have no wish to have children myself, and would happily settle for being an uncle to any kids my brother or sister may end up having.

[Leeza]

One was nice. :)

[Resha]

Zero's pretty damn cool. :p Although I'll probably wind up having a few. :irked:

[Madame Adequate]

But then you don't have all those childhood sibling memories and you can't say things like, "remember the time you took me behind the sofa and cut off my hair with safety scissors?" Yeeeah, good times.

But without having those memories, I just hear about them from other people, which really doesn't indicate to me that I missed much.

Plus, my parents really screwed me up, it's better there's only one person who got that xD

[Zeldy]

Id like 2. A boy and a girl :)
That was what my parents did, so when I was little I had someone to look up to (as my brother is 4 years older) and he had someone to play with. (In a CLEAN way :()

[boris no no]

4 or 5 kids would be nice :) I love kids ^^
My friend has 7 brothers and a sister... 9 kids! thats insane.

[Araciel]

1...i'm not contributing to population growth

You're not Rye, but she may have corrupted you, so I'm not entirely sure I believe you. :monocle:


1...i'm not contributing to population growth

Yes you are.

[Arrianna]

Actually to break even for poulation you need to have 3. One for you, one for the other parent, and one that statistically won't reproduce (since 1 in 3 either die before reaching that age, are infertile, or simply don't have any children).

[Araciel]

if every couple had only one child and then stopped, the population would decrease, though only slightly at first

edit: but taking the world-wide perspective under consideration, it would never work

[starseeker]

I don't think I could cope with kids. But if I do have any it would be two girls with a 2/3 year age difference.

[Melkor_]

None

[Madame Adequate]

By having a child, you are adding to the number of people currently on Earth.

[Araciel]

yeah and if that kid had 20 kids, it wouldn't really be negative in the long run

[Cz]

Two, because I'd like a son and daughter, but not enough to consider paying to raise three kids. If I end up having two children of the same sex, then I'll just leave it at that, and resent the second one until they start bringing in a regular income.

[Arrianna]

By having a child, you are adding to the number of people currently on Earth.
Until you die. Think of people as a renewable resource and it makes alot more sense. ;)

[Dreddz]

People who have only one kid are evil, its the lonely children that are the creepy ones.

I dont want children, if I do have one, Ill make sure it'll have a brother or sister to play with....

[Shauna]

Alas, it was I (and Emma) who corrupted this youth. :(

And, I'd like to have 2, if I do have kids. :p

that is, by far, my favourite thing you have said Arrianna...and you have said a lot of things i admire and enjoy

[exit60b]

... i once swore (after having a really horrible miscarriage) that I would never have kids. after thinking about it, one or two might be nice in the future... i can never really say...

I AM NOT CORRUPTED ;___________;

[LunarWeaver]

Zero children for me. I have never wanted a kid. Which means if I did have one, he or she would grow up to cure all diseases and be rich and give me lots of money, but that's just how luck works out sometimes.

[The Devil Man]

I AM NOT CORRUPTED ;___________;



You sound like you are Zeldy :mwahaha:

I'm glad I started this Thread. It's making me all broody and cuddly. I wanna have a baby now!

[bipper]

Get off the final fantasy forum then, an go to the bar. Leave the chlorofoam at home; you are better than that.


go get em tiger,

HAHAHah

[Nominus Experse]

I want zero.

Can there be an option where we can say how many babies we want to kill in our lifetime?

[Spiffing Cheese]

I definitely want children. And two or three. No more than that. :nonono:

I so didn't corrupt Amy. She was corrupted already! :mad2:

[Armisael]

Probably two! I'd prefer a boy and a girl!

[Old Manus]

Having ten kids would be really cool. I'd buy a huge shoe and live in it.

[bipper]

concervative answer:
Lack of compasion for an entity reveared and desired by so many is nothing to mock or jest.

*throws away half a hamburger*

surely the irony and humor should be self apparent :)

[Jebus]

Considering I want to actually do something with my life, and the fact that I cannot stand children, I'd rather have none.

However, considering my luck, I wouldn't be at all surprised if I ended up with them. Really, I have the worst luck.

:confused: lol

[Shauna]

Yes... of course. We corrupted no one. :shifty:

[Rocket Edge]

I think it would be very very lonely to be an only child.
Exactly.
I love kids, so i'll probably have 4 or 5, but then again it's a split decision. I would also welcome the challenge of being a good father.

[Breine]

Ehm, I really don't know. I don't even know if I'm going to have any kids, but if it is the case it'll probably be more than just one. It's better to have siblings than being an only child in my opinion.

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm actually allergic to human life, if anyone gets near me, I start choking and eventually die. So 10+ for me! :D:D:D

[Goldenboko]

Well Golden Chocobos usually lay 10 eggs at a time so this is a bad poll for a Golden Chocobo.

[Quindiana Jones]

Are they Golden Eggs?

[Cruise Control]

Nay, a vibrant yellow.

EDIT: None, I forsee no love interest. Never.

[Quindiana Jones]

Then they're worthless. Nuts!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Two sounds like a good, agreeable number. Perhaps someday.

[Yamaneko]

Zero, considering I lack the proper physiological structure to give birth.

This question really isn't evident to most of us anyway. I think once we get school out of the way and start our careers we can come up with something more befitting to our true desires or whatever. Or maybe you really hate kids. Good for you, we don't need more people on this planet.

[daggertrepe]

3 sounds about right.

[Goldenboko]

Are they Golden Eggs?



Nay, a vibrant yellow.

EDIT: None, I forsee no love interest. Never.


Then they're worthless. Nuts!

Nosebleed the blood leaking from your head must've affected your brain! Of course their Golden! I still have the remains of my egg, 24 karat (I have a purebreed family).

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh excellent! I'll have to mate with you know. What a fantastic money-making scheme.

Topic: I love kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one. I don't the kids round where I live, so they're making me hate kids, thus making my child-number decrease.

[Goldenboko]

Sorry I already have started the busniss.

[Sylvie]

Zero or one. I'm an only child and its not that bad, I never have to share or anything. Sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister, but I'd rather be an only child.

[Rye]

Id like 2. A boy and a girl :)

Bad Huxley! :irked:

Also, I don't think I'd be so lonely if I were an only child. I'm kind of used to doing stuff on my own. That may kind of come from the fact that I just really couldn't relate much to my younger brother as a child. Seeing how he had speech problems among some other personal problems, I couldn't really communicate with him all that much, and it's still a bit hard at times.

[Shiny]

2 1/2 should be sufficient and they must be from Cambodia like Angelina Jolie's adoptables.

[Khaotic]

2 girls.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

2. :) But thats only if I ever get married and want a family. But probably 3. :bigsmile:

[chrisfffan]

the problem is in Britain people abuse the system, that women that had 12 kids will have loads of benefits its a joke! just for being a baby makeing machine haha and as for kids god thats a long way off but id say 2 or 3 if i was in a normale situation if i get rich loads of kids!

[charliepanayi]

Having 12 kids seems like a lot of effort just to get benefits - I mean there must be easier ways...

[Vincent, Thunder God]

3. I want a medium-sized family so I can spend more time with my children. Of course this may change given the fact I am only 16 right now...

[NorthernChaosGod]

Six in total, four boys, two girls.

[Tama2]

I already have one. :D

His name is Robert, and he is a handfull -_-

[Decessus]

I'm throwing rocks at the Stork.

[Arrianna]

Until you die. Think of people as a renewable resource and it makes alot more sense. ;)
that is, by far, my favourite thing you have said Arrianna...and you have said a lot of things i admire and enjoy
You're welcome?

[BardTard]

None. I don't want kids... But then again, I would be a great mom. Everyone thinks I'm a good role model and a good influence... Maybe I'd adopt a little boy or girl when I'm like in my 30s or 40s (doubt it...). But being pregnant and having one of my own, hell no. I'd ruin myself.

[Outer Heaven]

I like kids, but they're not for me.

[Madame Adequate]

By having a child, you are adding to the number of people currently on Earth.

Uh... I think you're missing something here.

If you have no children, you are not contributing.

If you have a child, you are contributing.

You might not be making up the numbers like people having four or five kids, but you're still slowing down any depopulation which might occur.

Additionally you presume we're going to continue dying.

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

I plan to live forever, so far so good.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Two little Mini-Mes would be enough...

[kikimm]

I don't want any. I haven't ever wanted any. I mean yeah, sometimes I'll think about having some and it won't be so bad, but then when I really think about it....ugh. I wouldn't like having another person depend on me like that for fucking years. And I don't like kids. Yuck.

[Leen-Leen]

One sounds good enough to me :D

[~*~Celes~*~]

Minimum of 2, maximum of 4. I love kids a lot! ^^ And the idea of having miniature Alans running around is so adorable! ^_^

[rubah]

159! :bigsmile:

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Not too sure, though I do not want a lot --if any.

[Tempest]

Two kids, a boy and a girl.

[fire_of_avalon]

A million.

[bipper]

A million.

Your mate will go nuts; that is if you do not eat them after you are done :P

[Jojee]

I want zero.

Can there be an option where we can say how many babies we want to kill in our lifetime? Hear, hear :love: Haha I don't wanna go through pregnancy or childbirth (scary!!) and my boyfriend doesn't want kids so we're pretty good ^_^ Life is so much better without a ton of responsibility and diaper changing <3

Plus, all you people who want more than 2 kids are <i>causing the overpopulation problem</i>! :p Hehee.

With that said, MAYBE one day I'll want 1 kid, if simply for the fact that I'll be a lonely old person with no one to take care of me. ...If the kid even turns out into a decent person and won't send me into an old person home xD

[Mirage]

If I'm going to get any, it'll be one or two. One would be nice because I'd probably love spoiling him/her, but two is nice because he'd get someone to play with. Either way, I refuse to become a daddy anytime earlier than 30.

[Peegee]

I don't know a lot of stuff but I do know this:

if I were foolish enough to get a kid (foolish because I am the worst person to have a child), the child will be made out of wedlock for various personal reasons which have no logical basis.

Also I would be either entirely permissive (ie best friend dad) or a total sadist.

Neither really interest me. I'd much rather prefer to have a million dollars in twenty years than a heart attack.
