beeber said:i only mentioned it since people would ask my wife, "how many kids do you have?" to which she replies, "none" and the petitioner (usually a woman) would merely nod and say "ah, newlyweds" or something similar. it's rare for couples to be married more than a few years and still be childless.
i'll live vicariously through friends' and relatives' kids
ditto. DINKs here too.
Dual Income No Kids.
my standard answer and my wife's answer too is what i posted at the top of the thread.
None that we know of...

I'm positive I don't have any yet, but I eventually hope to have a lot of kids. Preferrably girls. My mom comes from a big family, and the family reunions are blast. I want that for my kids, when i eventually have them. But of course, the number will be limited unless I succeed in becoming a famed/wealthy author/psychologist. :\
I have one son he is 26. Over the years I have opened my home to other kids for about a year a good friend of mine daughters lived with me when they were 5 and 7 and I took care of another friend's baby and toddler while she tried to get her life out of the mess she had made it. From that I learned two children in diapers at the same time is a lot of work and my hat is off to parent who do it for longer then the five months that I did it.

None for us, thankfully. We have 2 cats and Seri works at a Daycare. That's enough for us

And two kids, 9 year old boy who is brilliant and a gorgeous 4 year old girl who is indignant and obstinant. But also brilliant.

Have two little delights... my son is three-and-a-half and was born Feb 1, 2001 and my daughter is one-and-a-half and was born Feb 4, 2003. My wife is pregnant with our third child, and due in... mid-to-late January (the other two were late), so I'm expecting that our third baby (not sure of sex yet) will have a birthday resembling the other two.
We've been married for just shy of four and a half years (since March 24, 2000). We're not "done forever" with the birth of our third, but we are looking at putting a little more space between the third and any potential fourth, mostly because our son has some mild developmental delays (is 3-6 months behind the curve on his speech, though above average everywhere else) and my wife wants to make sure he gets a fair chance to get plenty of her attention to get him "back on course" speechwise before dividing her time even further among potential later kids.
Of course, I'm the oldest of six kids and my wife is the middle child in her family of seven children, so we're used to "big" families.
Bonus: If our third is a girl, my wife is seriously considering "Eowyn" as a name. It's in the top 2, and she's not sure whether it's 1 or 2 right now... depends on what day I ask her.

I have one child. My daughter will be 13 in a few months and I miss her terribly; it was exactly a month ago today that my ex moved two states away to accept a job offer. 
I have already purchased the plane tickets for my daughter to fly up to see me at Thanksgiving, but right now that seems REALLY far away.

Three boys - ages 4, 2, and almost 1.
None were planned, though with #2 and #3 we were hoping for a girl. As it stands, my place is a Mad House 24/7.
I'm neutered now, so if a fourth pops up, I'll be making a surprise visit to Canada to ask Teflon Billy a couple questions.
