Two kids, 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl (27 months apart, to be exact). Very happy but would have loved to have one more if my spouse was on board. ideally I would’ve wanted the 2nd and theoretical 3rd child to also be 2 years apart so our 3rd child would be 1 at this point. Still want another even though if I got pregnant right now, our other kids would be 6 and 4 when the 3rd was born. I imagine by the time our kids are 7 and 5 I won’t want a 3rd anymore bc the age gaps then would be too great. So it probably won’t happen but I have about 2 years to hope my spouse changes his mind

I have one and would have liked more – infertility and recurrent miscarriage. I don’t know what I could’ve gone back and changed, though. The Asherman’s syndrome that caused the miscarriages was caused by my C-section, and without the C-section one or both of us would have been dead, so I can’t regret that.

I was nonplussed when I learned I was having a boy, because I don’t feel like I know very much about boys! I had really wished for a girl. But now that I have my son, I couldn’t imagine having a different child. So no, I wouldn’t change a thing about the one I have.

Girl/Boy/Girl, each about two years apart. No regrets, wouldn't change a thing.

The last baby was pushing it for us, I'm glad we did it but I think I'll be happier when we're out of the baby yaers

What are you doing here? Are you sure you’re happy being childless?

DP (I have 2 kids). Why attack a poster just bc they are happy with their choices? Your idea of happiness does not equal someone else's.

Yep, the last question is weird. Unless your child is Hitler or Osama bin Laden, why would you want to erase your child's existence?

I have 1 daughter then went through years of infertility issues. I finally realized I loved the little family I already had and am now 100% content with it just being the three of us.

I wouldn't change a thing about my kids right now, especially given the pandemic! I can't imagine how purposeless I'd feel right now without children. They are by far the best part of every day. And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with having children, and yes, my husband and I are both working at home full-time while caring for our kids, but I still wouldn't have it any other way.

Good for you?

Lol. Pp protests too much!

3 - Boy, Girl, Girl. All 2 years apart. I LOVE it. It's so fun having three - they're all close and having a big family is great. We wanted another but after 3 miscarriages, we decided to stop. Now I feel like my family is complete.

4. Boy, boy, girl, boy.

I guess that if I were in charge of it, I would have made my youngest a girl.

I am happy with the number. Sometimes I will dream that I am pregnant though, and I wake up really happy until I realize that it was a dream, and we aren’t having any more. I don’t know if other women do that or if that feeling ever goes away.

Six. Four natural, two step. Four girls, two boys.
There are three girls in the middle that are clumped together age-wise, but it's mostly fine. The youngest boy often feels left out from them. I wouldn't change things.

Two girls, 27 months apart. Have loved watching their relationship grow through these months at home. Our youngest just turned 2, and we are thinking (maybe) about a third.

Oh, ours are 28 months apart, and I would have spaced them more like 3 years.
