Your kids are so cute. - This can mean that I'm referring to only one person but it can also mean I'm referring to a bunch of people, right? Does the meaning depend on the context?

Thanks.

'Your kids' can only mean more than one child.

What makes you think it can refer to only one?

Hi Rover,

Note that the OP asked about the word your, which is the possessive form of you, not about kids.
