The how many children do you have question?

Three. I always say three. If I feel like expanding, I'll add "...but I only get to raise these two" or something along those lines. Sometimes I'll go further and explain why it's only my girls, but it all depends on the situation. I have no shame or fear whatsoever in including Ianto, he's my son just as much as Amelia and Elisabeth are my daughters.

It's a tough one to answer. Normally I would always say that I have had 3 children but our middle child was born sleeping. but by doing that usually you have to be prepared to either answer questions or know that there is a chance you will become emotional (especially earlier on.) or unfortunately make people feel uncomfortable. When I was asked by a lovely older lady in the shop one day I just couldn't tell her about my angel, so decided to say "just the 2". You do what you feel most comfortable with, I don't think there is any right or wrong way of answering it. Xxx
