Interesting how everyone has skewed the ratio in favour of boys. 2 to 1, 3 to 1. of course its better that way( any guy born into a family with overwhelming majority of girls will tell you, they will always win no matter what strategy you use. )

I would not really mind having a large family if i can afford to feed and take care of them but in the end it all depends on God and my wife.
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by vexxy(f): 6:52pm On Aug 24, 2005
3 but who knows what will happen. I may have more or less.
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by terry(m): 8:15pm On Aug 24, 2005
seriously it all depends on how wealthy i am , if i am as rich as Bill Gates, i would love to have a mininum of 8 and maximum of 12 from one wife.
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by otokx(m): 12:58pm On Sep 24, 2005

Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by Nobody: 10:42pm On Dec 30, 2005
For me i want 4
2 boys and 2 girls
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by DBest(m): 10:56pm On Dec 30, 2005
No matter how wealthy I get, I'll stick with a maximum of 4, 2 Boys and 2 Girls. However, I prefer 3, 2 boys and a girl.

There's really no fear of them dying anymore as infant mortality has being reduced by advances in Health care. This used to cause our fore fathers to have multitudes of children as they believe 50% or more might die later
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by Hotstepper(f): 5:06am On Dec 31, 2005

Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by keenchiori(m): 12:55pm On Jan 01, 2006
I haven't got a farm land to cultivate, and even if i've got one, i think i'd still prefer mechanised farming. May be when i change my mind i will goe for ten children; seven boys for the farm and three girls to put food on there tables. For now, five children is ideal. chekam!
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by IB7(f): 4:55pm On Jan 01, 2006
I really love this topic.  I guess caused I have always been a dreamer and in my fantasy world where everything is perfect.  I would love a family of 6.  Mom / Dad and of course 4 kids.  Don't know so much about my dream since am now very skeptical about relationships and never like the idea of marriage because most people especially nigerians put too much emphasis on it.   And too much stereotype about nigerian females and getting married.    
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by mide2(f): 5:50pm On Jan 01, 2006
Being the only girl in a family of 3 children, i don't wish to have any sex as an only one.Cuz i sometimes wish i had a sis i could share my room with.I hated sleeping alone when i was a kid. I'll like both sexes in equal ratio....but max of 4.....so 2 boys, 2 girls in whatever sequence...but the age gap might be abit higher than we usually have these days.
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by loretta(f): 11:03am On Jan 03, 2006
2 kids is ideal which i already have - a boy and a girl. But God when i became rich which i know i will be very soon i will add one more to it.

6 is the figure
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by Ashbaby(f): 6:10pm On Jan 10, 2006
2 kids. If I get twins and it's a boy and a girl, I'll close the chapter there. If I get a boy, I'd like a girl. If I get a girl, I'd like a boy as second child. If it's two boys or two girls, I'll be very much satisfied, but if he wants, we can have a tie-breaker. wink
Re: What's your Ideal Family Size? by funloving(m): 7:16pm On Jan 10, 2006
I noticed that most of the ladies said they would love to have 3 kids- 2 boys and 1 girl.

Why the emphasis on more boys than girls ?

I am just curious and will be glad to receive some honest answers from my sisters

Thanks
