How many children do you have? If you could turn back time would you still have them?

Question

Or do you think you should've waited a while longer before you had them?
Don't get me wrong, I love my two girls but it can be so hard sometimes and I am still so young.....
What do you think?

Answer 1

well i am preg with my 2nd child due in nov and i have a 22 month old boy, they were both surprises and im 22 years old.....i am glad it happened this way because i wasnt done living my life ...my kids are my life now ! and no i wouldnt change it for the world...i look at it this way, i am young and my children are close together so this means that when they are grown up me and my boyfriend (hopefully husband by then) can pick up where we left off and still be young to go on vacations and motorcylce rides and stuff like that...i always had young parents and they have 3 kids that are now grown up and they do whatever they want to do now....i think there are a lot of benefits from having children early...if i didnt have kids now then i would of had them when i was older and been an old mom that had nothing to look forward to in life but take care of my kids until i was an old lady....for some people that would be ok but not for me , my life is going exactly how i would want it tooand yes i love my children to death and they are my life right now and my life is perfect!!!! thanks for asking this question it makes me get butterflies...

Answer 2

Hi,

I think about this alot because I'm at a point in my life for reflexion. I'm the mother of 5 beautiful children and, for the most part,I raised them alone because my husband and I divorced when the youngest was a few months old.

My children are now all adults (the youngest just turned 21). I'm a youngish grandmother, very vibrant and alive, as I started my family at an early age. I'm blessed that I have my health and a healthy mental and emotional outlook after having done a very good job with the children.

I love my children dearly, but looking back, I can see that it was a struggle. Sometimes it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then I think about the joy they gave me and I smile the brightest smile. Children ARE an inheretance from God. Through difficult times, you build and strengthen your bond. In good times, you bask in the love and trust.

If I could do it over again, without a doubt, I would choose to bring these children into the world. But, knowing what I know now, I would spend more time preparing for parenthood so their lives would have been filled with more of the happy times.

Answer 3

I have just one son, he was born when I was 29, he's 14 1/2 months now and he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am also a working single parent, it is difficult at times but I focus on the good times and good things. If I could turn back time yes, I would still make the same decisions as I did then and I would not change anything about having my son. Hopefully, I shall have a daughter someday soon.

Answer 4

I'm 20 i have a 10 month old girl and a boy on the way. I don't regret having them but I wish i would have been at least 25 before having them. It is very hard taking care of children. especially when the father does less than the minimum.

Answer 5

I have a 19 year old son whom I do not know. I also have an 18 year old son and a 15 year old daughter. I love and cherish them both and would not trade them in for anything. I also have two beautiful Step Daughters. One 21 and the other 17. I love them dearly also. I have made many mistakes, but my life would be empty without the ones I do know, and hopefully I'll get to know my first son.

Answer 6

I have three kids. The oldest is 4, then a two year old and a almost 8 month old. Yes I would have still had them but probably not so close together. Because it can be pretty hard sometimes.

Answer 7

I was young when I had my 4 kids also. I probably should have waited until I was older. But now that they are grown I am still young enough to enjoy my grand kids and kids. I was young enough to relate to them and do things with them. I am glad to have all of them. Don't get me wrong older parents are good parents. My husband parents were older and did not know what was going on with kids his age. They were tired all the time. So it just depends on the person. You are young and will survive. They will be grown before you know it. Then you will be wiser but still young to do what you want to do.

Answer 8

I am 28 and am pregnant for the second time. It took me two years to get pregnant the first time and then I lost it. Then after another year of trying I finally got pregnant with my son. It was an emotional roller coaster for me for a long time but I wouldn't have changed anything. I have a beautiful son who is now 18 months and now I'm going to have another baby. I can't wait!

Answer 9

I have 3 kids and I only wish that I would have waited longer to have the first. But I'm glad I have 3 healthy children and wouldn't trade them for the world.

Answer 10

I am with you. It is so hard to raise children. You have to be filled up with patience every day (and night!).

However, when the come and kiss you even though you have yelled a minute ago... that is beautiful! You feel like you are doing something good.

And yet.. you are the only one in the world for them. You are perfect for them. So that is waht makes you to recharge and continue.

In regards with your question: I have 2 children, and yes, I would have them anyway. I think the time was perfect for having them. I do not have regrets. Even though I do not have time for myself. After all they are myself now!!
