I personaly didn't plan to have children untill my 30's but I guess things didn't go to plan. I have one and one on the way now. I guess the thing that affected my initial decision was my musicical life and the obisticals that arise from that alone. Now I am dealing with balancing home life and working on my music and its not easy but I have accepted what it is and try my best with the help of my boyfriend. We have one beautiful daughter and are excited to meet number 2 but thats enough for us :)
I want 3, for me 4 is just too many, and two, not quite enough. I don't really find kids to be really financially burdening, we don't go out as often as we did pre-kids, so maybe it kind of evens out. The only thing I find that costs a lot is the diapers, so we buy them in bulk and it helps a LOT!
Between 3-5, ideally I'd love 5 but I really want to be done by 30, financially I'm with Jessakah, I dont spend money on us anymore just the kids so were not finding it that hard. We'll start at 3 and add if we feel like we are missing people in our family
I am 22 and a stay at home mother of a 2 1/2 year old and another due soon. I do babysit during the day till the baby comes anyway. My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years now, we just bought our first home and of course money is tight. I want 3 or 4 kids but im lucky to get the ones I have the first reason being my boyfriend does not like being tied down and the second money is really tight we dont have cable or a cell phone we only have 1 car and we dont take out loans because we would not be able to make the payments. We try to go out to eat every 2 weeks but the bills come first. Saying that I dont belive in birth control and will not have my tubes tied so I belive what is ment to be will be after all it took almost 2 years to get pregnant with my second and the doctors dont no how I did it im not supose to be able to have kids because of trama from my childhood.

PS I come from a family of 6 kids.
I would like to have 4 (we have 2 already).
what affects your decision anon?
Well I've just always wanted a large family...I'd actually secretly love to have 5 but my husband would never go for it haha!
