Even or odd amount of kids?

I’m not sure. I’m one of five, hubby one of 4. So far we have 5, he wants 1 more, I want 2. We will have to see what life gives us.

I’m one of two, only 1.5 years younger than my big brother and it’s perfect - one parent each!!

I’m one of two (my brother is 18 months younger), and I always wish there was one more of us! I always dreamed of having a sister, but I must admit one brother is plenty. [name]One[/name] burping, farting boy is plenty.
I hope to someday have 3 daughters or 1 boy and two girls.

[name]One[/name] of my mom’s brothers had five kids (well his wife did at least ;)).
They wanted four the last two were twins. I asked them a few years ago (all separately) if anyone ever felt left out.
They all said no. [name]One[/name] of the two boys said the twins had a closer relationship to one another but it never bothered anyone and he always goes through phases of preference but then end up getting in a fight with someone and just started hanging out with someone else instead. Now they all live in different cities and when they get together everyone else feels left out. On the other hand my SO is one of two and try as he might he and his older sister just aren’t close, and I’d probably call them warmly civil. She won’t come to our house for dinner unless someone else is coming as well and basically ignores him (and me) at most family functions. I have no real siblings and my god mothers son and I fight like we should be and as soon as someone points out we are fighting or arguing we completely deny it and are the best of friends, we’ve always been this way, neither of us has ever really been lonely. So I don’t think even or odd is necessarily a need for concern.

I don’t have kids but I want an even number [[name]Lord[/name] willing] although I’d be fine with 1 and that’s an odd number.

I do like even numbers… but in the end it’s not that big of a deal, which ever number the [name]Lord[/name] decides is best for us, is fine with us :slight_smile:

I do love even numbers, but I would be perfectly happy either way.

I grew up the oldest in a family of two children. For the longest time I wanted three children, but now I am leaning more towards four. It just feels right. I think that you just need to assess your circumstances and you will know what number feels right, be it an odd or even number.

Nope, no opinion whatsoever. The number we want happens to be even, though, but only because we feel that replacement level is the ecologically responsible number of children.
