Would you like to have the size of family you were born into?

[NewLion]

For example if you were 1 of 10 kids, would you like to have 10 kids?

I’m one of two. Wished for another sibling. I’ve had 3 myself.

watching with interest for those from bigger families

I'm one of 4. I had 6 dc.

I'm one of three, so is DH, we have three DC

I’m one of two. I stopped at two because I couldn’t afford more but I’d have loved another two.

I’m one of 3. I’d say No, and I’m
happy with 1.

No, but my family was so blended you can't define its borders, so that was an easy one.

I have a simple nuclear family, no exes, no steps, no half siblings.

I did at some points feel guilty that my dc didn't have the massive extended family I did, but they don't feel the lack.

I’m one of 5. I had two. We never had enough space, attention, quiet, money. I think the world has moved on. There were 6 of us is a 2
bedroom flat, then 7 in a three bedroom house. Two of us sat in the car boot when we went anywhere (days before compulsory seatbelts). Holidays were always camping crammed into a 4 person tent.

Having said that, there is something lovely about having a lot of people who love you and are there for you. I now have so many wonderful nieces, nephews and cousins who I love dearly.

I was one of 4. I have 3, you couldn’t have paid me enough to have 4

I'm one of two and DH one of three. I wanted three and he wanted two, so make of that what you will - we have two coz DD was such a terrible sleeper we were done after her.

I'm one of two and DH is too, we originally planned to have two but decided to go for it and have another, so we have three.

I’m one of two (though my only sibling is a half sibling) and I have 3 kids. I don’t think I care either way! I liked just having one brother and I like the dynamic between my kids.

Hell no, I have 13 siblings!

I'm an only child. I've got an only child. I'd always assumed I'd have more than one (thinking back, I'd always imagined having 3 I think) but life just didn't work out that way for me.

I’m one of three. Not a chance would I ever have had three.

Im 1 of 3 I have 4

I’m the eldest of four and absolutely not! I love my siblings and we all get along nicely as adults but I was very content to stop after child number two.

I’m one of 5 and no, I did not want the same for mine. I have two, and was sterilised as soon after the youngest was born as I could manage.

I’m one of four. I’m a single parent of one. It feels very quiet!

I am 1 of 5. I loved having 4 siblings. I was sure I wanted to have 5 kids myself, but I had children later in life, and also hell no, I wouldn't have 5 kids! But even to this day I love having 4 siblings. We are so close. I feel guilty I couldn't give that to my own kids (I have 2), but it just isn't feasible.

I am 1 of 3 but only have 1 not through choice, I would have loved 3 or 4

I’m oldest of 3 girls ( now women ) which is why I had 2

I am 1 of 5. I have 3 children.

I think it’s interesting that none of the 5 of us have 5 children.

I'm an only and have 2 .

I’m one of 6. Very chaotic childhood. I’ve got one by choice and same for quite a few of my siblings.

I do! I'm one child and so is dd, it's perfect.
