Only answer yes if you currently have children under 18 years old.

sigh What a horrible poll! The given options are needlessly fragmented and imprecise. You will get skewed data just by asking the question like that. I miss at least the options "Kinda" "I believe so but I can't remember well and she doesn't call back" and "Waay too many".

  It's odd how easy it is to tell when someone hasn't been taught survey design.

    As someone who also hasn't been taught survey design, I can't tell who your comment is criticizing!

Nop, and I don't want any. I'm planning on getting a vasectomy but in my country (I'm from Europe) you have to be at least 35, married, and with two kids. Nonsense. So I'll have to travel abroad to get it done.

  Huh? What country in Europe? No problem in NL.

  There are similar barriers to the procedure in America, though they are negotiable. The main issue is that people are fickle, and reversing a vasectomy is very difficult, so they need candidates for the procedure to be absolutely certain it's what they want before they go through with it.

    I didn't run into any barriers getting a vasectomy... my urologist asked "are you sure?" and I Said yes; and that was good enough for him.

those who have kids don't have time for such silly polls

Stepdaughter actually, used to say I didn't want any of my own, but I've been reconsidering lately :)

I voted No twice for each of the two kids I don't have. Maybe you should add a "No No" option for those of us that don't have 2 kids.

What is the purpose of this poll? Other than those who answer No may feeling young and those who answer Yes may feeling old. Looking at the result, I'm feeling old.

Yes. Going on 4, and plan to have more.

  Me too. Except I'm not planning to have more. I'm having more.

Why "under 18 only"? My 19 year old live-at-home student doesn't count?
