We'd adopt a third.

2 or 3.

6, in 3 "sets" of 2. Right now we have 2 and are hoping to have only 2 more.

3

It isnt' for us and we stopped at 2.

4, maybe 5.

I'd hire a housekeeper, but not a cook, I like cooking! I'd also SAH

Besides, I like to cook and shop. I don't think I would outsource those, necessarily.

If you won the lottery, though, you could stop working. That would free up 8 to 10 hours a day for additional parenting.

3, maybe 4. We stopped at 2 b/c I'm the breadwinner and can't do that well *and* parent more than 2 well. But, it's a great fantasy!

4 or maybe even 5. I love the idea of a really big family! We have 2 now and plan to have one more. (Now I've probably jinxed myself with twins for #3 and 4!) We often play the "what if we won the lotto game" (even though we never actually buy lotto tickets) and, in that situation, we would both work part time (we both love our jobs) and have more kids. But, in real life, we both need to work full time and 3 seems like the most we can manage while working full time and the most we can afford.

2

Four. Money is an issue, though, so we stopped at three.

Still just the 2. I don't have the emotional space for more.

I often think the first thing I would do if we won the lottery would be to jump right in the sack again with DH and go for no. 3. Then, I would hire a cadre of housekeepers and cooks, so that I could be a SAHM, but pawn off the chores...

Anyone else?
