I have 2. I always wanted more than one. It still bothers me that I had to grow up an only child. Almost everyone I knew had a sibling. I’ve always loved kids and would have been an amazing big sister. When I think back on my childhood I remember being lonely and bored. When my parents would tell me we were going on vacation I would cry because I knew I was going to die of boredom doing some stupid tour of New Mexico art museums or something. Never one trip to Disney or anything like that. I feel like I missed out on a normal childhood. I always said I didn’t understand why anyone would choose to only have one child. After I had a child I *understood* why someone would make that choice. But I always knew I wanted one more. My life feels complete. It’s like the world was built for families of 4 and that is what I have. I would have felt an emptiness in my life forever without my youngest son.

I have 1 but pregnant with second, plan is to either have 3 or 4.

I have 1 daughter and two step sons. And that's plenty

I wanted 2 but only one has come out so far. And that's fine.

12 or more. Because it takes a village… 😏

im sorry ur heart has some sadness in it

I'm an only child as well... Three stepkids currently and happy

I've got four and would like to have more

We only wanted 2 at most. That's what we raised

I have 2 boys 27 and 19. Didn't want more.

  Indeed it does! You’ll need your bald headed yogurt slinger intact if you are to father that many children. 😂
