how many children do you plan to have?

im a dad to a 10 month old son and my girlfriend is starting to talk about having more kids
she thinks 3 is a good number
another boy and girl
i know the best plans never work but how many kids do you plan to or already have?
i come from a big irish family of five kids and all my cousins are in big families
now it seems that no one who works has a big family anymore
every guy i work with has two kids and they always talk about not being able to "afford" more kids.
so what factors will decide for you how many kids you have?
financial?
cultural?

I plan to have zero kids because I could never fully dedicate myself to another person and I don't think people should become parents unless they think that's something they can do.

Damn, you read my mind. I don't see myself having any kids. I don't feel like I would want that much responsiblity. Plus, I don't see myself as parental material, even though I'm probably better parental material than a lot of parents.

I don't plan on having any either. I can't stand all the crying and screaming kids do.

Wow, I appreciate the honesty in reading the reasons for people who say they dont want any though.

However, I would want at least 2. Both boys, but I'll be happy as long as they are healthy.

0. I want to retire while I'm young enough to actually enjoy life. Kids are a huge financial drain and I am not a rich man.

On the other hand, I feel like I need to knock up some random women around the world to spread my genes.

If my life continues to be bland and completely white bread - 0.

If I make a lot of money and can afford to have some kids, then I will.

I'll have like 20 kids then flee to Argentina and start a new life to avoid the child support payments.

If you're responsible enough to say "I'm probably not responsible enough to be a parent" then you're more responsible than 70% of parents out there.

They're just ignorant apes that happened to be screwing around and the result was a kid or 3.
