If you could have more children than the number you have now, and there were no obstacles to having and raising them, how many more would you like to have?

It’s not uncommon to hear parents say they wish they could have had more kids. Usually it’s moms I hear say that, but that’s probably because I’m talking to moms more than dads. The obstacles might be financial, or age, or health reasons such as miscarriages, genetic issues, etc.

I had my daughter at age 41 so the clock was definitely ticking. I am happy with one and she’s great. I don’t know if I would have had the energy for more. I can afford a nice lifestyle with the salary I make and with just one. I could see having two. If I removed the obstacles of my age and the financial obstacle, two would be ok, too.

Do you wish you could have had more?
