If money wasn't a factor, how many kids would have?
If you could build an your ideal family what mix of genders would you have? What would you name the kids?
Any pets?

We're good with four. I love my three boys and would love to add a girl to our famly but four boys would be wonderful too
Her name would be Nichole Rose. Hmm for a boy I'm not sure!

I don't know if money would change how many kids I have or not. Even now, we are very tight some months, and other months we are fine and could afford another (we keep very minimal costs for monthly costs. But still have debt from 5-6yrs ago when my mom booted me out just after I graduated HS, that and the kids have to be on medicaid because hubby's work insurance is a joke), my thinking (however some may see as skewed) is to get done having kids now so that way in 2-5yrs after I finish some school and start a career I don't have to put it on hold to have a baby and such (Cause I'd be too scared to leave it in daycare before 1yr cause thats part of my anxiety issues). So we, if we decided to have another now would be tight for a while till I finished some kind of schooling and was able to find a job (can't find one now, tried for a few months).
But ya money wouldn't have an influence, I wouldn't want more then 3 kids some days 2 is enough
I wouldnt' care, if we had another, if it was a boy or girl. Kieran has been easier but that has nothing to do with her gender just the fact that she hasnt' had "problems" and countless doctors appts like Seamus did. A boy would be Liam for sure, probably Liam Michael, and a girl I have no clue maybe Quinn.
i'd want some Husky's if we had the house/yard for it  <3 or a Husky Wolf mix

Ya money isn't really part of the decision making for us. We are doing fine, not fantastic but fine. I have such a wonderful hard working hubby, I couldn't ask for more.
And pets doesn't matter about money either lol. I don't think I have the time or energy to devote to a puppy plus kids haha. However I would do little house pets like fish, turtle or something... I'd love a kitten or two  But when the kids are older.

If money was not a factor, I think we'd have 4. The way it's looking right now it'll probably be 2. We don't really have any debt but we are just squeaking by with everything now, even with me going back to work.
If we owned our home, we'd probably have one more dog.

Money isn't an issue for us, for us it's Chris and his Autism keeping us form having the 4 we wanted. 3 boys and 1 girl would have been perfect but we are happy with only 3.
Pets wise.. I'm not fond of having pets with purr because I can't stand having it all over my clothes but for the kids we would enjoy having a cat(mostly outside) and a bird.

If money wasn't a factor, how many kids would have? Money and space are the only factors for us... well, and sanity at this point Right now were content with 3 and it's our perfect number but after we had Rylie we felt a large family would be great, somewhere between 4-6 kids.
If you could build an your ideal family what mix of genders would you have? What would you name the kids? An even mix. Some say girls are harder and my oldest is DEFINITELY a challenge but Rylie's the easiest little girl, there's never a problem with her. Seth is super easy too.
Any pets? Well I have carnivorous fish (Andy "needed" them LoL) and a cat. We plan on buying another dragon soon. If we had a big yard we'd love some Siberian Huskies.

Money would not change our decision to have the two we have plus my step son! DH and I are better two on two! I wouldn't care what gender we ever had either....however I'm partial to little boys - even though I love my little girl so so so much! We would probably have another dog, specifically a boxer, if we had a bigger yard and a nice place he could "live" outside. We don't like animal hair/slob in the house but DH has always loved boxers.

Two. Money would not make me want a larger family. To me two children is a nice balance. My patience could not handle more than two. I also feel I could provide better attention and time to two. If I could pick I would most likely go with a girl for my second child but would be just as happy with another boy. I'm not sure what she would be named. No pets if we didn't already have cats. I'm no longer an animal person.

If money wasn't a factor, how many kids would have? 4
If you could build an your ideal family what mix of genders would you have? What would you name the kids? If there was 4, I'd love at least 1 girl. I have no problem being a boy mama. Boys names are difficult for us, but our girl will be Lena Elizabeth
Any pets? We currently have 2 cats. And being completely honest, I wish I didn't have one of them. But I refuse to get rid of him since he is happy here. He's just a big trouble maker.

haha I feel this way too. I love my one cat because she's old and calm. But my younger cat (who with my luck will live until he's 25) is always underfoot and never leaves us alone, including Henry.

Any pets? I am happy with what I have, but we are getting a rescue next winter  (Probably a Golden). I'd also love an all white cat with blue eyes (usually a deaf cat).

if money was no object i'd have like 10 kids! but with money, space, etc i think we will have 4. we always planned on 4. doesnt matter to me their genders, i would def like to have a boy or two for DH & FIL to play hockey with (though i'm sure my girl will play with them too!)
pets, i'd really like a cat, but DH hates them and so does DDoggy. i'd want it to be an outside cat though, i cannot do litter boxes. SIL had an awesome cat when she lived with us but she didnt take care of it, it was so sad, i loved that cat. i wouldnt mind another dog, maybe something a little nicer than chile, i like little wiener dogs!

If money was no object, we'd have 4...because we could actually afford to do IVF and such then. 2 boys, 2 girls preferably, and no idea on names.

If money was not a factor I would want 6 kids. I'd love to add one more girl and two more boys to the mix so that would be 4 boys and 2 girls total.
Another girl I would name Clara Mildred, and two more boys would be Nevan John and Shannon Joseph. Middle names are all family names.
I am not an animal person, I'm fine with our 3 fish. I'm sure the kids would love a dog and so would dh but he has awful, awful allergies and pets wouldn't go well with that.

Money wouldn't be a deciding factor for us. We're pretty happy with our one and have no plans to change that. If something were to happen, I think we would take measures to keep the number at no more than 2.

If money were no issue, then I would probably say 3. As it is, I have to work at least PT and don't think I could dedicate enough time to 3. I wish I were as lucky as all of you that can be SAHMs. My hubby has a very good job, but not enough for me to be home full time.
I am 85% sure we are done at 2.
