Just thought it'd be nice to find who wants more children and when they plan to have them...




I'm just nosy lol.



I'm currently pregnant with baby no.3 and I think this will be the last one for me but i'd love to hear from other mom's on if they want any more and when they plan to have them

Awww nice idea for a post, beck! =)

well, as this baby was a "surprise", I don't plan on having my next one within the next few years... So I voted 4-5 years. That way I can get my qualifications to become a midwife (i've finally decided what I wanna do, thanks to my baba!), and support my little family properly =)

i like the idea of a 4-5 year gap between my kids, coz that way this one will be at school when I have another newborn to look after!


Then after that, who knows.. My other half only wants 2 children.. But I want 3 or 4! I might have to start sabotaging condoms to get my own way...

Haha, zan, that's so bad! ;)

well, i've always thought two years was the perfect gap...And evenm though I don't have a baby yet, that's what i'll probably do...I don't want them to be too far apart (me and my sister are nine years apart), but I don't want to be like britney and have two babies who are one year old (sean won't turn two until two months after the new baby turns one). So that's what I voted, beck. :)

do you and your sis not get on because of the age gap? Me and my sister are 9 and a half years apart and even though she can be bossy sometimes (worse than my parents) we're very close.. There's a 6 year gap between me and my brother and we're immensely close, I love my big bro =)

and yeah.. I know i'm bad! =p

Haha, no beck, I wasn't making fun of you! I'm just saying, lol. ;)
zan, we do get along...But i'm more like her mother. I bring her to school every day, I make her meals, I help her clean her room, I take her shopping, I pick out her clothes in the morning, I wake her up for school, I help her with her homework, i'm there when she gets home from school...I even ground her, tell her what movies she can't watch, etc. And, don't get the wrong idea, my parents are great...But my sister's just become the person i'm responsible for over the years. I just want my kids to be closer together. My mom says that i'm maternal with my sister because of my brother and my sister dying, and she says that I unconsciously am trying to protect her? I dunno.

Before having trey I said I wanted 3-4 (whatever my salary could afford) 2 of my own and 2 adopted is what I wanted. Right after having trey I said no more ever!! Lol now I think 2-3 would be ideal-2 of my own and 1 adopted. Or maybe still 2 adopted but one older so I don't have to do the midnight feedings :)

Well I voted 4-5 years...Because that gives me and jonathan enough time to get through college and in a stable job...And thats what I always wanted before I had any children..But as you all know I had my little surprise named jace..Lol...Plus me and my brother are also 5 years apart and it was always fun having a older brother to take up for me...Although sometimes he was a little mean and beat up on me..But he made me the tough bi*ch I am today :)

in total I would love to have 4 children..But I doubt that will ever happen..--but I am thinking about adopting also..Because its such a gift..And it would put a huge smile on my face to make a childs life better...--so actually I might never have anymore children myself(unless another surprise pops up)... But am considering adoption...

Chris and I were going to start trying, but I thought about it and decided not too because brayden is such a handful and with work and things. So were actually thinking about waiting until 5-6 years or maybe longer. I love brayden so much and honestly can't wait to have a bump again!!

I'll have another in 8 - 10 years...

Maybe two more around that time with a 2-3 year age gap. If i'm married and such.

Me and my sister are 3 years apart and I love her to death. We're really close, we get along so well. We can be friends but she also has a tendency to be maternal with me.

haha I was only joking that's why I wrote lol at the end.


There is 17 years between me and my lil sister courtney and i'm more like a mother to her. I have her stay over and I look after her like she's one of my own. It's quite sad as I would of liked a sibling with a closer age gap so I could of grown up with them.

Me and all my sisters are 17 months apart and I think it was pretty stressful on my mom so I think I want at emast a 2-3 year age gap in between.
