If you had to do it all over again would you...

[I <3 Eeyore]

Without question I would absolutely do it again.

It seems that there were plenty of reasons why they wouldn't have kids again. One lady wrote in that 1 kid was in jail, 1 in a mental hospital, another on the West Coast and she didn't even know where he was. No grandchildren and no family closeness at all. I believe another one was because everything between the husband & wife went out the door after the children and they never recovered. I think the reasons were because of how things turned out with the kids or how hard things were I guess.
I will say that there were times when the 2 oldest were in their teens that I wondered about it but really don't think even then I would still do things just maybe a little bit differently. I was very young when I had my kids and not only just age but mentally. I really had to grow up. I also did not have good parenting to follow so i had to do a lot of learning. I love all my kids very much and would do anything for them and now my grandkids (don't get me started on them) are everything. Although,.........if I had know grandkids were so much fun I might have had more kids to have more grandkids....LOL.

[Pin Wizard]

Absolutely! And I would have had more than one.

I would do it again in a heartbeat w/o any hesitation at all. They are what keeps me going at my lowest times, and life would be very empty without them.

<font color=navy>My answer would be an emphatic yes. I love my rascals.

 

[catsrule]

Yes, I still would have had Simba, and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the World.

 

[Cindy B]

Yes, in a heartbeat...

Somehow I think that sampling or data is skewed...

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Yes in a heartbeat. I love my kids. They are my life. The only thing I might do differently is have them at a younger age.

Wow its really sad that 70% said they wouldnt.

 

[Mamu]

There was never a day that I ever regretted having children.

Somehow I cannot believe the 70% of the people asked feel they did not make the right decision when it comes to having a family.

 

[Boo'sMom]

I'd do it all over again...nothing can replace unconditional love......

 

[wdw4us]

I would have one. That's my motto now, one or none.

[JohnTBap]

How could I not?

 

[goofygirl]

Well, I know myself well enough to know that if I did have children (I'm childless by choice), I'd regret it. So In a way I could understand the 70% who say "yes".

 

[Mark P.]

I not only love being a parent, but more important to me is being a DAD to my two sons.

 

[Blondie]

I would absolutely have children, only I would've started a few years sooner so I could've maybe maybe had a third!

 

[Keli]

I would definately have done it again. I only wished I would have had more.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Yes. I might even add an additional one if I were younger. We love our kids and they keep us young, even if they do add a gray hair now and then.

 

[Kteacher]

absolutely would have kids.

 

[Lynn CC]

Yes! To me there is nothing better than being a Mom even though I only have one. I never had enough courage to do it again. We feel blessed just having one.

 

[BCVOwner2002]

YES!!!
