I feel seen… If I were asked “what’s the ideal family size?” I would answer “2”. Because that way you don’t have one kid flying solo and at the same time mom and dad aren’t outnumbered.
That being said, how many have I personally had? 0. Lots of different reasons for it. I was RESPONSIBLE for one after getting married to a single mom (bio dad died), not the same as having my own.
Having my own now is increasingly unlikely as we get older and I had a heart attack and open heart surgery.
