    Sound like me some years ago, hated kids...

    ...well I think it all comes down to being with the right person...

    ...when you are with a person you really love and want to grow senile with then you get this warm and fuzzy feeling about having a family and the idea of little kiddies running around doesnt seem bad anymore...

    ...i think its hormonal

    i don´t hate kids....

    i have a little 1,5 year old cousin and i love the little guy... playing with him, sitting on the couch watching "where´s nemo" that he´s absolutely nuts about..

    but you know what?....i love even more knowing that after a couple of hours i can go back home and he doesn´t come along....catch my drift?

    there´s a portuguese band that has a famous song where they sum it up.."i love the laughter of other people´s children"

    Preferably three, but at least no less than two. Inshallah it will be two sons and a daughter, but God knows best. Of course I’ll settle for three healthy children, be they boys or girls.

    I would quite like 2 or 3, I would definitely like both a boy and a girl.

    Three, at this stage in my life, is probably more favorable, but who knows in 5 years time I may want none.

    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    I'd like 11 sons. Preferably within a few years of each other (so a couple of big litters would be good). Then I will have the makings of a new football/cricket team. Infact, maybe a few more just in case some don't survive the winter.
    Possibly a few daughters, to marry for diplomatic purposes (possibly to the Almohads or to favour one of my generals )
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    NOOO! He's right though... for most people anyway. The older I get the more I like the little rats. And heck, I'm only 22! What do I have to look forward too?

    Edit: Oh yes, the original question. 2. No only children for me. So very very lonely.
