How many children do you have?

[John Weathersby]

7, and who knows? I might find a nice younger woman to marry and....

*snicker...

 

[Timothy William]

I voted 0. I'm single and not looking to marry. However, if I were to marry I think I would want at least 2-3 children, though how many we had would depend on my wife's desires as well.

 

[DMcFadden]

35 years of marriage . . . 5 children

Was that one every 7 years?

Arol Everett McFadden - 32 - (Dec 15, 1976)
Joshua David McFadden - 30 - (Dec 18, 1978)
Sarah Jeanette McFadden - 27 - (Nov 22, 1981)
Nathan Paul McFadden - 24 - (Dec 25, 1984)
Joy Anna "Oops" McFadden - 18 in another couple of weeks!

Yes, contrary to all reason, McFadden women can breed in captivity.

 

[AThornquist]

Yes, contrary to all reason, McFadden women can breed in captivity.

Just how captive are you talkin', Dennis?

 

[Christusregnat]

I didn't read the instructions either...

My wife and I have been blessed with three lovely girls: Moriah (almost 3), Antje (2 in November), and Caia (5 months). We pray for more; my in-laws had a quiver (13), with 12 living.

Cheers,

I answered 5.
One already taken by the Lord. Two boys , two girls living.
I would have loved a large family but am very blessed to have the healthy ones I have now.

Merely that the thought of 35 years with the likes of me is not a pretty thought.

We have five children. The oldest one is home-made, and the other four adopted. Despite regular lobbying from my younger children to adopt more, I think we're gonna stick with five.

We deal with this same thing on a shockingly regular basis.

We're not done, so I didn't answer the poll.

Tim, I will pray that the Lord does bring a lovely woman into your life and that you will continue to issue forth. Here's some inspiration:

Genea-Musings: John Tyler's Grandson is still alive!

Yesterday, we were at an Ethiopian friend's house who is one of 23. We're not aiming that high (but shall see what the Lord brings). However, we saw an episode of "18 and Counting" the other day on youtube and Isaiah (10 yrs old) says "Mom, please, please, please, can we have a large family?"

 

[Michael Butterfield]

Five (5) and would love to have more, but health concerns for my wife means we cannot have more. However, I have to wonder how much Christians have bought into the American lie to not have too many for all sorts of reasons.

 

[jambo]

3 boys (23, 21, 17) and just like their dad, all good looking.

 

[he beholds]

3. One of each.

What does that mean?


We have two and one on the way (which, DV, we find out tomorrow which kind!)
but we are hopefully not finished. So I accidentally voted for three.

 

[Contra Marcion]

Oops! I answered four, but (God Willing) we're not done yet.

 

[JOwen]

9 children. 8 living, one departed.

 

[Honor]

Sorry I answered before I read the whole thing too.... I'm just so excited to be bak for a minute. but I said 3, two boys and one in the oven. and I have no idea if we're done or not

 

[HokieAirman]

1 boy, one girl on the way. Since life begins at conception, I counted her and answered two.

 

[blessedmommyuv3]

We are coming up on 21 years of marriage, and are blessed to have 3 daughters; 17, 12, and 10 years old.

My wife and I have 3. All girls. <terror smiley> How awkward, that is my wife. ^

Ps. We live in the same city, La grange. That makes her right and me wrong. (sorry guys.)

 

[Reformed Thomist]

No children as of yet (that I know of, as AThornquist said). If and when I do get married, however, I would love to have a big family.

 

[calgal]

None unless the Lord provides a way for us to adopt. Unless you count the two slumbering furbabies (2 whippet boys) who are our "kids" that is.

 

[gritsrus]

Married 18 years and have two little boys.

 

[APuritansMind]

Two girls (22 and 20).

 

[jwithnell]

Way back I thought a half dozen sounded ideal. God blessed me with 5!
