It's up to you to decide...but if you want the truth: I am not in the slightiest way interested in having children nor do I understand this sacharine fondness for children, nonetheless I give out nice sums of money to funds investing in research against child's cancer, programs to get rid tbc/lepra/malaria in the Third World or other forms of charity and saying this with a certain disdain to most hormonally overcooked men and women around here, I wonder if they ever thought to spend some money for this kind of charity in stead of dreaming and bragging about catching up biology with an irrelevant, spoiled mentality. Just pray that more of those creepy bastards with sick humour like myself exist handing freely money to end desperate scenes where young frail bodies are mutilated to cut out cancer, rotting flesh and corrodated bones, have an intestinal stoma inplanted and suffer horrible pains for years while their treatment might even proof insufficient. besides that, I was hamming up an aphorism by Emil Cioran, where he comes across a pregnant woman whose tummy reminded him of a tumulus and got to from that awful sight. I usually content myself to declare that a fat cow has more grace and natural pride while walking than their human counterparts...strange enough women usually do appreciacite my wicked sense to send up particular aspects of womanhood.

I would like to have at least three children. All my life I've been able to rely on help from my brother and sister when needed. If I help to put children to this world I want to give them the same sense of security. However, most likely I will die alone, shot to death by one of my students the day before retirement.

Come on Mickel.. it doesn't have to be that way.
Whatever is wrong out there and you see yourself powerless to do something about it, you can do by having your own children and raise and educate them to be better persons than those you see out there. ![]()

Personally, I'd like as many as possible but that isn't likely to be realistic.
The general agreement between me and my better half is two children. whereas three would be the minimum I'd be happy about. I'll talk her round yet ![]()

I'm not willing to have any (if I don't have any within the next few years it will be too late for me)
But if I was to have children, two would be large enough: the purpose of reproduction is to ensure the continuity of the spece; so 1 to "replace" the mother" and one to "replace" the phather. The world is enough overpopulated to make more and I'm not confident on the world' future. I don't want to have children to be later the one who will bury them...

Um, 2 or 3 I guess. I think any more beyond that might be unmanagable..

I think I would like to have 3. It seems like a good number. More than that would probably be quite difficult
