Hello!

[Dorsetmama]

I couldn't find an Introduction thread si thought I'd post in here.

I have 4 boys. My eldest is 9, and has Aspergers. My 2nd is almost 8, my 3rd is 6 (7 in January) and my youngest is 5. I trust I won't get any of the 'you have your hands full' comments

Which I endure every day. Along with judgements
Except when we went to Italy - we were legends there haha!!

I have a dp.... Not married, and hes not the father of my kids. But they all belong to one dad. And a sorry excuse for one too!

I don't work yet: I used to but when the Autism became a problem I gave up work.

Hoping to find some online friends here, parenting advice and such like :)

Hello!
I think everyone is off being busy with their large families

I have 4dc too 10yo dd, 5yo dd, 2yo ds and 1yo ds. I often get the handful comment too as well as are they all yours? One day I'll scream and jump and say "argh where did they all come from!!"

i dont get many comments now. probably because we are not all together that often. i recon i might once number 6 is here and im walking the streets with 4 children.

Hello. I only have 3 but I get the comments too. Especially when I have my DB with me (he's 13) I'm only 24 so I must look rough if they think I'm his mum

I have DS1 who is 7
DD who will be 2 on the 18th
And ds2 who is 18 weeks.

Hello. Between us we have dd(11), ds1(6), stepdd (6) and ds2 (3) and another one arriving any day now. This is the final one, dh is having a vasectomy
Been married for almost 4 years now. We both work although I'm on maternity leave at the mo I will be returning late next year.
I don't see our family as especially big but I guess it's more then the conventional 2.

at my name!
Hi!!! I've got 4, eldest is 7 in nine days second (and only) boy is 6 in five days. The third (devil child) who's 4 in january and the 'baby' who's 1 also in january. We're a family of 6 and being unlucky, together we've got 4 birthday's in december and 2 in january. I also get the 'oooh how do you do it?' Comments, but i also get asked A LOT how old I am when out with the kids (i've just turned 26 but look no older than 16, sometimes i get asked i.d for bloody scratchcards) and loads of funny looks, especially because i use buses a lot with them on my own, when dp's at work.

[jamtartandcustard]

Wow bigfam you have it worse then me! I will have one in Dec, 2 in Jan and 1 in Feb. I joke I'm like a giant panda and only fertile once a year (in spring!)
Love having winter babies though x

[bigfam]

Yep, it seems i'm only fertile around march/april. I'll have to wear padlocked panties in 3 or four months

[Dorsetmama]
