One is plenty

ITT: After having given birth to my firstborn last week I realized how much stress it was to bear even one child. It's just so much work to walk around with a large lump of flesh around your stomach and all the discomforting feelings throughout, not to mention the moment of birth itself. That isn't to say that I don't love my child, though, as I really, really do. Originally we were going to pop out two more... But, after the first one, I'm going to say that one is more than enough and me and my husband have both agreed that it would be a lot easier to give attention to one child than three.

So my question is:
Do you plan on having children? If so, what will you name them? Do you have gender preferences? If not, why not?

Okay joke's over. Thanks for being a good sport, everyone.
Oh, yeah, I'm a guy. Can't give birth.

I'm not so sure I want a child in the future, but if I decide to, I'm definitely adopting because I'm very adverse to passing down bad genes. Also... Ya know. Two boys thing.

I want two children at the most but I'm starting to feel one is plenty seriously. The reason I said two was because I wouldn't want my other child to be bored and not have another sibling to talk to, fight, argue with, play games with, etc.

I don't want any girls, too expensive IMO, I want two boys but life is unfair so I will maybe get girls instead. I'm already planning on naming one son Kai but I'm undecided for second cool sounding name :<. If a girl then I haven't really thought about what to name a girl yet but I do have some names in mind.

And congrats Gym :D

Giving birth with 17? :S
Well, congrats anyway, best of luck :)

On topic: I would like t have 5 children. Yes five! I would like to have more boys than girls, but since that could not happen, in 5 children, it's probable that at least one is a boy! xD , the same to the girls, I would not like to have 5 boys..

As for myself, I do want to have children. I'd like three, preferably two boys and a girl. I don't think I could handle two girls. It's just...a mess. I imagine two boys are too, but I don't really know. As for names, I'm a little weird on the matter, haha. I'm all about having an original name, because my name was just lazy. "Here, let's name him our middle names" "Okay, sounds good to me!"



Edit: OMG GYMNOTIDE I HATE YOU :(

I thought there was already a baby thread... Am I wrong?

That one is about how many. This one is about what to name them / what gender you would like. @@

Congratulations on having a baby :)

Personally I don't want children. They're way too noisy and not worth the effort, especially before the age of five. It's too early to know if I'll end up being a father some day but I'm not really one for having kids. But I do like the idea of naming them. I can't decide on what name I'd use if it was a boy but I like the name Violet for a girl.

My mum was 17 when she had me. She said she'd never have any more. She had two more little boys after 14 years later. You might change your mind later.

I don't want children. I don't know if my mind is going to change on that, but I don't want to be tied down to a screaming, needy child. Sound insensitive? Then just be glad I don't want any and I am happy to abstain from sex to make sure that never happens.

My boyfriend is religious and believes in no sex until after marriage, so it's cool with him too. Sadly, though, he actually wants children in the future. I don't know how that one is going to work out. If he wants children he should be able to have them but it would involve destroying our relationship. It might be necessary to break up over it when it comes to it, I don't think I could live with denying him children when he really wants them.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I just realised I can't even provide children even if I did want them. I'd have to convert to his religion to get married to him, which is impossible because I don't believe in God.

I want babies, yes :D
Preferably two. More than that would be too much to handle I think. XD I'm thinking of a boy and a girl. One of each gender.
I don't really have any gender preferences. Having both a boy and girl would be awesome :D I haven't really decided on names yet..

Yes, as far as naming goes I have a few in mind but Tsukune (Boy) Moka(Girl) is one xD, I don't really have a gender preference.

I never really wanted children but my pair wants one. He'd be a great dad so maybe someday I hope to have a boy. Maybe around when I'm 30 or so, so I can provide for the child.

Dunno what I'd name it, though.

As a male, I have no say in how many children my mate and I will eventually have, but I'd prefer to keep it to the less than 3 range, and mostly boys. :P

me and my boyfriend have gone from "no we're not letting a contract define our love and children are just annoying burdens!!!!!!!!" to "lets get married and raise children together and they'll grow and have children who will grow and have children and science will advance so we can still be alive to spoil our grandkid's grandkid's grandkid's n________n"

so yes, we've planned a bit. we're leaning towards adopting a boy and a girl, we've agreed to name the girl Alice but we haven't decided on a boy name yet. i like the name Henry, but my boyfriend isn't totally on board with that, so we'll just have to see >o>

I'm almost certain that I want two children, first a girl then a boy. For the girl I'd think I'd name her Blair, not sure about the boy though.

I'd feel sorry if your kids stumbled onto Rosario+Vampire by accident.

I can't stand babies, but I may end up adopting an older child if I ever choose to get married and my wife ends up wanting kids. I'm not too sure about the gender.

Congrats then, Gymno!

I don't plan on having kids any time soon, but I think I just want the one. A girl, I think. Then I don't have to give the awkward talks :D
