Personally, I have no regrets. I am blessed and I am grateful. My kids have challenged me and continue to but I would never trade it for all the material riches in the world.

I wouldn't trade it for anything either but I do not know if I could handle another one. I think I am just to old and my body would have a hard time keeping up. It has nothing to do with the kid but rather my own old age.

I certainly would. Like you, I wouldn't trade my sons for anything. I am more proud of them than of any other thing in my life. They are grown up and living away from home now but they're still my best friends

Yes, in a heartbeat. My kids are the absolute most precious people in my life. I couldn't imagine my life without them. My kids teach me things each and every day, and boy can they pose a challenge for me at times. Frankly, I love every minute of it.

I would have more if i could, but im past that time in my life right now, I also feel blessed that i had my children, and would not give them up for the world, Even though they are grown they still bring me joy, and my grandchildren are also a big joy in my life they keep me on my toes. Their is nothing better than having little ones around.

Oh yes! We have two girls one is turning 5 next sunday the other is 3 the end of next month, I would and plan to do it all again although we wont have more than one more because we dont have the space or money but they are totally worth every bit of hardwork they give back so much more in return!

I became a parent quite young and unprepared. It's been tough going but I don't regret having them young. Just one look at them and I am so happy and feel blessed to have them with me. I love them too much cause somehow they all look like me lol.

Yes! I too have no regrets. I love my kids - they are my life - I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Now I have a Grandson and it's fun watching him do things that my kids did at that age.

Hi nuttymomma, despite how hard it is, I would consider another but only if I had the winning lottery ticket! I have 2 girls with a 10 yr age gap, Both my husband & I work shifts so it would be really challenging to have another without a finicial injection.

I have 5, and if I thought about the money early on, I might not have had 5 but I am glad I did.
