re: How many kids did you plan to have vs how many are you actually having?

I didn’t have a set number in mind when I was younger. I figured I’d start with one & see how it goes. Unfortunately, I didn’t have him til I was old. If I were younger, I’d have a few. I love being a parent. I’m super grateful to have him & a 12 year old stepdaughter.

Their age difference is about the same as ours but we have 2 girls.

El oh el

I didn't plan on having any and it worked out fine.

Planned? Idk maybe 3 if one of the first two was a boy then id have been done. I had 2 girls first, that was enough lol. I saw the writing on the wall, wasnt gonna be one of those that had 6 just to have a boy on the 6th kid.

I agree with Tucker Carlson - if you disagree with the way that the country is going, have more children and raise them right.

Bunch of you need to have more.

If you are taking parenting advice from any one of those clowns (whether its fox or cnn), please re-evaluate things.

reads like another lazy parent that lets their kid(s) run the house.

Wanted 3 for some dumb reason. After 1 I reluctantly had a 2nd. To hell with having a 3rd.

True.

My step daughter moved out of the house when my daughter was like 7. Oddly enough, they've become close in the past few years since the younger one is a bit older now.

This is an interesting thread since it’s mostly guys answering

When I was a little girl I always wanted 10, then after babysitting, teaching dance, and working at a children’s hospital I wanted 0.

Before we got married - I told my husband I don’t care how many we have but I either want 0 or a lot.

We have 6

I thought 6. My wife wanted 0. We went 1 and done! I don’t know how people have the time or money for more than 2 kids.
