TheLoneWolfDies · 02/05/2019 21:58

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 😂

I’m 26 and have three: DD 3.5, DS nearly 2, and DD 10 weeks. I’d secretly love a fourth but I know DH definitely does not, plus we can’t really afford it, so I think three is it for us.

I'm 30 with 4 DC, 7, 5, 3 and a 2 month old. Very very grateful to have had the family size I wanted, roughly when I wanted. There won't be any more - I don't want to be pregnant ever again. That's a very freeing feeling after years of pregnancy and babies.

maloofhoof · 02/05/2019 23:05

I'm 40. DS is 17, DD 15. Would quite like another!

MumUnderTheMoon · 02/05/2019 23:43

I'm 34 I have one dd who is 11. I don't want any more kids our life is very carefully balanced and I don't think it would be fair on anyone (me, dd or hypothetical child) to go messing with our lovely lives.

TheMonaOgg · 02/05/2019 23:51
  1. I have 5 - 4 DS from my first marriage 22, 20, 18, 16 and 1 DS from my second 3. I also have 2 lovely DSDs 13 and 11. I am more than definitely done now, much as I love my lot!!

CryHavoc · 03/05/2019 00:10
  1. One daughter. I thought I'd want more, but after she was born the broodiness disappeared, and I am very happy with my family of three.
PickAChew · 03/05/2019 00:13

I'm early 50's and have 4 - 26, 23,19 and 11. It seems quite a few have some close together and then a large gap. For me it was new DH and new baby!

YouBumder · 03/05/2019 00:59
  1. Kids are 13 and 10. 2.5 year gap
Notashandyta · 03/05/2019 01:02
  1. 3 kids- 2, 3 and 4. Totally done and felt done after the third. Not a fan of babies but finally enjoying it now!
YouBumder · 03/05/2019 01:02

Oh and yes - at 46 no more on the cards!

I’d always thought I’d like 3, had it all planned that we’d try for a third when I was 40 but when the youngest got to around a year old it was like someone flicked a switch and I knew I was done
