I highly recommend wrangling some dog show children. Not that I'm biased or anything but those kids are clear winners. 😛

When I was younger, the plan was to have at least 6 Mini Bats!
My boyfriend likes to make jokes about having 6 kids and I have to keep telling him that's only happening if he's planning to grow a uterus and help.
Well they certainly know how to dress up, follow directions, clean, and keep unruly bitches in order. I'm in, send me twenty
The fiance really wants to be a dad and older me is fine with 2 or 3. I'm kinda sketched out by having just one so goal is 2 (no offense to only children on the forums; it directly stems from having a younger sibling and she deciding to dip out of life unexpectedly).My boyfriend likes to make jokes about having 6 kids and I have to keep telling him that's only happening if he's planning to grow a uterus and help.
I read an article once that claimed 3 was the most stressfull number to have.
Since then I've been deadset on 2 or 4 because I also don't want just one.
I'm curious why three is more stressful than any other numbers
someone is always being ganged up on. there is no peace.
Mr. Bats is one of 3. Older brother is 6.5 years older. Younger brother is 6.5 years younger. I can definitely see this. Granted, ours will have 3 years between *max*.
Because you still have the illusion on control with 3 and by 4 you're just like "whatever, just don't kill each other" as you sip a glass of wine in a corner by yourself?
Best laid plans....
If the third one isn't in the game by the time I turn 36, they don't get to spawn. The equipment won't be functional
I’m currently in the 0-2 camp.
Was hard 0, in last couple years at times have found myself thinking specific babies are kind of cute and at some point in the future maybe wanting one.
I will never have a large family. I am an only child and enjoy my only child upbringing. 2 kids would be my absolutely max, if I do decide I for sure want any. Definitely zero for the foreseeable future lol.
Still horrified for what pregnancy and birth does to your body. Vet school has increased that horror haha.

Allllllllll of this. Even the growing up an only child part. My bf absolutely wants kids, and right now the only children I want are ones with fur. I just don't know if that'll ever change for me though, but if it did I think 1 would be preferable with 2 as the max.
…and I'd probably skip the pregnancy part and adopt. Much easier to control the number of kids that way too.
You never know, my mom had me at 40! You gotta take extreme measures to make sure that powerplant is shut downIf the third one isn't in the game by the time I turn 36, they don't get to spawn. The equipment won't be functional
Extreme measures are the hopeful plan for post-production stage! The powerplant (oddly autocorrected to PowerPoint) does not need to be fueling too much. Lol
I'll stick with the don't marry so no need to worry about name changes and don't have crotch gremlins camp. 😉 😉
Yeah, I fill my house with regular gremlins!
Is this a good time to admit that I've never seen that movie?
Came here to say exactly this. And it’s always the middle child being ganged up on.
You must be a middle child. They always feel underappreciated, when really it’s the eldest child that always gets the short end of the stick. 😉
Excuse you. Every time my elder sibling screwed up I got the lecture on how I better never do that in the future. 😛
Accurate
I have friends who have large families; some thru adoption, some the "old-fashioned" way. LOL I have one set of friends that thought that they would only ever have 1 child, due to issues. However, they now have 6. 2 "natural", 2 adopted, and 2 thru "embryo adoption. (I apologize I don't remember the correct term, that is how they referred to it) They are so happy! Tired, but happy. The same for another set of friends, who have 7, all born to them, and then they foster 1-2 every year. Again, they are tired, but so happy with the chaos! I have other friends who only have 1 or 2, or none, and are also happy. You just have to find what is right for you, and go with it.
So! I’ve been working on a project for my mom’s birthday in July and I’m really excited for it! I joined this FB group and I’ve been compiling these notes from all over the world!
So I’m SUPER psyched. Bc she loves traveling and obviously that’s not super safe or possible this year. I have one coming in from Peru today!
soooo if any of y’all find it in your heart of hearts to help a girl out make my momma’s 55th birthday present spectacular please lemme know you will have my eternal love and gratitude (and you could PM them to me to further heighten the anonymity)
An example of some of them I have: <3

Hey, does anyone know how different the 5th edition of Thrall radiology is from the 7th? I want a copy and someone at school is selling the 5th edition for cheap. If it is still enough "up to date" to use I was thinking I would do that instead of spending several hundred on the 7th.
Hard pass.
Hard no. Will not do it.
I am considering moving somewhere that I don’t have extended family specifically for this reason. I don’t want them to try and get a discount or deal with any of that. My parents dog I’ll be the vet for, but about anyone else, probably not.
But also I deeeef thought you wrote “treating pets as family” and was initially slightly horrified when you guys didn’t want to treat your own pets as family
It's SNOWING! Everything looks so pretty....
Does it not usually snow where you live?
It snows all the freaking time. But it still looks pretty.
I had no idea that was going to happen lol I walked outside and was very surprised

I'll do it for my mom and sister (or would if we lived in the same state) but that's only because I know they'll listen and won't take advantage. My sister literally apologized to me for asking questions about diet stuff for her cats. I guess I don't have too many people in my family I'd turn down as clients (unless they gave me a reason to) but no one else would get special treatment.

I guess my grandma too probably but she doesn't have any pets Idk, my family is kinda small and everyone is pretty chill, it's the hubz's family I have to watch out for...kinda wish they didn't know I was a vet sometimes

In a similar vein I'd be ok treating my brother's cats because he's not an idiot and wouldn't ask for freebies. Every other member of my family can suck it.
It's snowing here too and I'm pretty sure that's illegal. I'm on the phone with emergency services as we speak
Hey! Quit pushing all your snow eastward! I have to go to work on Monday whether or not you send us more snow.
