This 2 Minute Test Will Reveal How Many Kids You're Destined To Have
There are so many old wives tales that have been around forever, regarding how many babies one will have, as well as if they will be boys or girls. Have you heard of any, or have you maybe tried some of them? Some of these tales involve putting jewelry over you right wrist and letting it sway or spin around. Apparently this will tell you both the gender of each child, and how many you'll have. It's also been said that this particular method doesn't work on men.
While this is all very interesting, it doesn't seem to take into account that you have a little thing called 'free will'. This allows you the opportunity to put various measures in place to avoid having, or increase your chances of having, any children. Of course, the only sure way of knowing how many children you are having, is to actually have them.
We also need to remember one small detail before you take this quiz - do you actually want any kids? Alternatively, and if you don't want to wait to have kids, we seriously suggest that you take this short fun quiz to determine just how many bundles of joy the stork will deliver to your front door.
How many children would you like to have?
We all have the perfect number in our minds. The number of how many children we'd love to have and call our own. It is important to make sure that your partner knows how many kiddies you'd like, after all you both need to be on the same page to make this happen.
Did you enjoy Cheaper by the Dozen?
This movie was a family favorite! It also had a sequel, and both were pretty hectic. This is organized chaos at it's best! A family with 12 children! Raising these kids was by no means a small or easy task! The benefit is that the older kids can at least help out with the younger ones, giving you a break!
Would you like to homeschool your children?

What kind of restaurant do you prefer?
Either way, life with and without children can be absolutely amazing. Both options have their own pro's. Family meals and adults only meals can be very different.

Can you change a nappy?
No one is going to volunteer to change your screaming child's dirty nappy! This one is all for you and your partner to figure out.

How do you feel about boogers?
When you have kids, you no longer only worry about your own boogers. You'll need to keep tissues and wet wipes close at hand, just in case a booger appears!
