I guess you answered "No, I haven't (but I thought about it)"?

I selected the option since my son is too young but after voting, realized the survey is not about our own kids necessarily, but says kids around you. But yeah, same answer since my brother and my wife's brother don't have kids yet.
Cheers,
Vikram.
