OK, I just re-read the rules at the beginning of the thread. The specifics of my children, all biologically mine, are:
Mishael Yehuda, age 11
Boruch Moshe, age 9
Perel Chaya, age 8
Yaakov, age 5
Aviva, age 3
Esther, age 8 months
I’ll leave the listing at 6 until there’s good reason to update it, say, next February.
I lose, too. Same distance, opposite direction.

I don’t think I’ll win. I have, however, been pretty close to the antipodeal point from the place of my birth (which you can find using this cool thing ).
I was born in Atlanta, GA; the antipodeal point is in the Indian Ocean, as it is for most of the contiguous USA. The nearest land is Australia, which I haven’t visited, but Bali, in Indonesia, is not much farther away and I’ve been there.
Irrelevant, I know. But I wanted to contribute.
That is extremely cool-- I have been pretty close to my antipodeal point. The nearest major city is Perth, Australia, where I have been, at 11,600-odd miles from the place of my birth (New Jersey). I didn’t realize I’d been that far, literally on the opposite side of the world.
Cool! Where was your birthplace?
Boston, so similar longitude, but not too close to where you are.
