How many children do you have?

Are you happy with the number, spacing and gender(s) you ended up with? If you could go back and change things, would you?

Are you even a parent? Your last question is weird.

Well if I could change anything, I wouldn’t have fertility issues.

Thrilled to have my one and only, adopted at birth. I hit the jackpot with her, and being single and old,I have no desire for more kids.

+1. I would have demanded specific extra tests after our first IVF cycle. But it is what it is, life does not always work out as planned. I’m thrilled I have the sex I have - only one out of 12 grandchildren and I feel lucky about that. Even if it’s the only bit of luck we had in years of disappointment and failure.

Yes my child changed my life for the better

And no I would not change anything

I LOVE the gender

Two, one boy and one girl. I’m crazy about them—even in their tween/teen years—and I sort of wish we’d had one more. But now that I’m 42 and on the other side of the toddler years, I’m delighted not to have the hard work of a little one during Covid.

Yes (2), yes (twins, so no spacing), and yes (both girls). I wouldn't change a thing and my husband and I are both very happy with the kids we have.

I'm thrilled with my daughter. No desire for another and I really wanted a girl.

Two, a boy and a girl, 21 months apart. I think their gap is great!

Before my youngest could move aroud, it was honestly not that difficult to have two because we were already in baby mode, and he was pretty portable. Once he started crawling and walking it was tougher because two to chase, but now that he is rounding the corner to two, they play together pretty well and are interested in some of the same things.

I would change the 2 years of infertility prior to getting pregnant with my oldest, but then again, if I did, I wouldn't have these two kids.

2 boys, ~2.5 years apart. If I could change anything, I'd start earlier and have more, but only if I lived in a different area.

Three kids, 2-3 years apart each. Wouldn't change a thing. They are close enough in age to bond but I wasn't overwhelmed with multiple babies in diapers. Very happy to have both boys and a girl since it's so neat to experience those differences. I used to think I wanted a fourth, but now that we are in the teen years with the oldest, I'm glad we stopped at three! Some things have gotten easier but there are elements of parenting that are harder now and I'm not sure I'd have the bandwidth for a fourth at this stage.

Three, each 2 years apart. Perfect number and timing for me.

0 and I am very happy. Especially during the pandemic.

Two boys, pretty happy, but sometimes think we should have stopped at 1. As we slowly leave the horrendous 3-year-old phase, I feel better about having 2.
