Someone had a thread up asking what age people are on here and I'm feeling curious.

I'm 23 in july and have a 6 month old. What age are you and how many DC do you have? Would you like more or are you happy with what you have? I sound so nosy but im quite bored 😂

28 with 2 children. 2 and 9 months.

Would love 4 but not sure we could provide as they get older so may compromise with 3

40 and 5 DC - 17, 14, 12, 9, 5. All planned but 5 is just too many. It's too bloody hard. DH had the snip when I was pg with our youngest.

I have 2 daughters and a son Smile

elQuintoConyo · 02/05/2019 22:25

44, one 7yo. We'd been together 12years, married for one. We didn't want any more. We adopted a dog instead Grin

Life is piss easy with one, surrounded by his mates, lots of afterschool meetups and sleepovers, cheap to run!

Pollyloop · 02/05/2019 22:25

43 and 1 little girl (20 months)

samandpoppysmummy · 02/05/2019 22:26

ChittyChittyBoomBoom · 02/05/2019 22:27

I’m 41 and have 3dc, 12 and 6yo twins. Definitely done!

DowntonCrabby · 02/05/2019 22:28

Almost 35, with a girl and a boy, no more- DH has had the snip.

Hadenoughofitall441 · 02/05/2019 22:31

I am 31 and I have 2dc aged 11 and 6... 6year old put me off for life...😂😂

GrumpySausage · 02/05/2019 22:32
  1. A 4 year old DS and 10 month old DD. My heart wants more but my practical mind knows we're done.
Walnutwhipster · 02/05/2019 22:34

46 and DC are 23, 14 & 12. I wanted to stop at one but changed my mind, hence the gap of almost 10 years. DH had a vasectomy after DC3.

BigusBumus · 02/05/2019 22:34

Im 47 and have 3 boys. The oldest is 16 and I didn't give birth to him but I've had him as my step son since aged 2 and had him as my son living with us since he was 9. He very rarely (once a year) sees his mum.

The others are my son from my first marriage who is also 16 and my joint son with my DH who is 12.

We all live together as a family though and the boys are brothers, not step or half. (Their choice)

TwistedAnkle · 02/05/2019 22:37

51 with 3 DC -20, 18 and 16. Would have loved to have more but DH put his foot down 😢

thugmansion · 02/05/2019 22:37

I'm 64. Four 34, 30, 26 and 26. The 30 year old is a girl and a fucking nightmare not gonna lie. The boys have been a joy.

Rainbowknickers · 02/05/2019 22:37

twinkledag · 02/05/2019 22:39

40 with a 4 year old conceived via IVF. Have been trying for his sibling since he was 2. Currently on 3rd cycle of IVF trying for number 2. Desperate for another!

blackcoffeeinbed · 02/05/2019 22:40

I'm 31, I have 3 ds's 8, 6 and 4, an angel daughter who would be nearly 2 and I'm currently pregnant with number 5 another girl. I don't plan on having anymore after this.

Bythebeach · 02/05/2019 22:42

41, 3 aged 14, 11, 6.5
Adore babies and would love to have had more but feel very strongly parenting 3 is my limit and couldn’t stretch to adequately mother more! 6 year did not sleep for years though, had he been as easy as the others, there could have been more capacity I guess!

FourForYouGlenCoco · 02/05/2019 22:45

Recently turned 29. 3 DC. 6, 2 and 1. Plus 2 MMC and a MC. Never ever ever again Grin I’m completely done with pregnancy and babies and looking forward to moving on and enjoying the next stages with my gang. 3 is perfect for me/us, I love the bones of them and we have a lot of fun. I don’t want to be spread so thin I stop having time for them all (together and individually). And I think another pregnancy would destroy my pelvis forever (thanks SPD!)

MondeoFan · 02/05/2019 22:46

47 and 2 DC 13 and 4.

Happy with 2 and would have loved 4 but money and space dictated

questabellatreetop · 02/05/2019 22:46

33, 3 children- two boys and a girl. I always wanted three- I'm done!
