Yes. Two kids, both in college now.
There was a recentish Atlantic article about whether parenting made people more or less happy overall. It was...interesting.
Being a parent is, emotionally, one of the most satisfying things I have ever done. I cannot imagine myself NOT being a parent.
I often wonder how much of that is based on simple biological programming though.

Yes, a parent of three. Happy of being one.
No, I don't want more. I shudder at the idea of restarting the newborn routine.

Yeah I have three including a two year old who is turning three on the 28th. Oldest is 11 and will entering Middle School in the Autumn.
I am not caring for any more babies unless I end up with grandchildren.
