How many kids do you have?

0 for me. My mom has six siblings. When I turned 18, my grandmother told me that she only had one piece of advice for me as I entered adulthood, "don't have seven kids."
My mom is one of 8, my mother in-law is one of 9 and father in-law is one of 6. Different times.
One. She is 2.5 and I have raised her by myself since she was 6 weeks old. It has been so hard but she is amazing. I would like a second in a few years.
Got one. He's nearly nine months old. He's a bundle of energy whose happy a ton of the time and sleeps really well, so I feel pretty fortunate. Sure, money's tighter and I get less overall sleep since he was born but that doesn't really matter. The amount of joy he gives me made it well worth it. I couldn't see my life without the little monster.
Three, ages 9, 7 and 4 1/2. Already I feel like we're always running them around to activities, even though it's really not that much. And it'll get worse as they get older.
Glad to be out of the diapers phase, and am enjoying them being a bit more independent. Still, the meltdowns still happen and it sucks.

I have two kids, I wish we could have one more but could not financially do it. Especially now that my kids are older and would be able to help out.
1 and done. He's almost five and he's incredible. He was a super easy baby, great sleeper, great flier, and now that he's a bit older he's kind and thoughtful and hilarious.
The reason we're not having more is mostly because of space and money. We live in Japan in a tiny-ass apartment and I have zero space for myself aside from a tiny corner in the living room. We also need money to fly back to the states every other year or so.

37. A girl from a previous marriage but got taken away from my ex and was put up for adoption years back.
So none I guess?

2, boy and a girl, complete set, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL.
They're fabbers. They bring me joy. My lad and I play FIFA together and my daughter and I go for walks with her dolls.

Was just thinking that. Can't have a thread on Era about having children without it turning absolutely toxic and just plain stupid.
None.
My dad had 9 brothers, including a set of triplets. I can't even imagine what that was like (UK).

Hah, for sure! Our toddler will have just turned 2 when the new baby arrives. Congrats to you too!!
0. My wife never wanted them, and I was happy to oblige and had a vasectomy about 6 years ago.
Technically we have 5 already anyway. She has 5 younger siblings with quite the age spread, and we're always there for financial and emotional support, and general life guidance. Yeah yeah I know it's not at all the same thing, but it feels like it sometimes!

We have 2. If I would have met my wife earlier and we both would have settled down earlier, we would have at least 4.
My stepdad's family is hardcore Mormon. They can trace their family back to the original founding. He has 4 brothers who each have 5-9 kids each. Those kids are now having kids. Lots and lots of kids. It is insane how many people have spawned from the pairing of my grandparents.
My parents had my brother and I, and when I was 20, they started adopting family 2.0. They adopted 3 children, all from different countries, by the time I was 24. My brother is from the US and I have a sister from China and another sister from Russia.
