Two questions on kids:
1) how many do you have?
2) are you planning on more?

1) I have 1
2) we’re planning on one more. We originally wanted three kids but kids are so expensive and a handful. However we do want to give our son a sibling

5 kids, 13, 11, 9, 6, 4. We're good, finally don't have anyone in diapers and youngest just has one more year before they're all in school. Great kids but happy with 5.

Definitely not done. Hoping to hit the double digits if possible.

In theory it’s possible but after an unexpected very preterm delivery and a long NICU stay this might be it

That makes a lot of sense.

1.
We were thinking about 2 but we don’t have any family in vicinity to help/babysit which makes it overwhelming, also I’m sole breadwinner and it’s so expensive to raise kids here in US

To begin with saving for college is extremely expensive as compared to Canada or Europe for example. Healthcare(child birth, pediatrician) is cheaper in Europe & Canada

1. Figuring that out now. It was really difficult to get to the 1 so we just feel insanely lucky right now. It’ll likely be a long road to get to #2 and not sure either of us have it in us again. Then there is sort of the idea maybe a miracle hits for us (without IVF) but mentally we are trying to figure out if we just want to say no mas and be content with what we have.

Two and done. Girl first (now 6), boy second (now 2.5).

It was described to me as the following, and I repeatedly see this play out
- first one kills the mum
- second one kills the dad
- third one kills you both

funny

lol. We are outnumbered!

3, no mas

1.

No. I’m too old for more kids.

Mid 40s.

3, including myself 🤪

I’m done. Gonna tie up the cords eventually. 35M

3 and 2 sometimes birth control fails. Took more permanent precautions. Fingers crossed no more

3 kids, ages 14, 7, and 4 (oldest is from a previous relationship so a half brother, not that that matters at all just providing context). Had them in a great order too -- boy, girl, boy.

Definitely done, precautions were taken by both of us after the last one.

As an only child, I always knew I wanted my kids to have siblings and settled on 2 or 3 before I ever even had any of them. :) Luckily my wife was on the same page.

1.
We will likely have one more, but right now I would be totally fine with the one we already have.

4 kids, ages 5, 4, 2, and almost 1. I’m the sole breadwinner and want to be done but my wife wants to have as many as possible - like at least 6 but she would like 8+.

Geez…. Maybe you can reverse it. “I’d actually love 10-12 kids even if it requires a second wife” to get her off those #s.
Good luck…. 😬

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do? Relationship was over 12 years and don’t know what to do. Should I jus pretend that those 12 years never happened or she was not there?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

If you met someone that checked off all the boxes besides from sexually could you see yourself being with them longterm? In a bit of a pickle ATM

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
