Having kids isn’t for everyone. For others, it’s the more the merrier. Where do you stand?

Maybe you’re an only child and you’re glad you didn’t have to share your toys with a younger sibling; if you’re one of the 3% of Americans with a twin, meanwhile, you know there’s nothing quite like that bond. Then there are those of you who want a big family with three or more rugrats running around, filling the house with laughter and no small amount of commotion. But maybe children just aren’t for you and you’d rather be the cool aunt/uncle who travels the world with their partner and brings back presents for their nieces and nephews — a sweet setup, to be sure.
