I wouldn't have thought this would be a particularly interesting one but someone on another thread said they wanted a thread on this. Smile

What car do you drive?

Meh I have 11....

SamBaileys · 18/06/2019 18:57

How the heck do you split yourself 6 ways and give them all the attention they need? I'm feeling like I'm not getting this right at the mo and I only have 2 Confused

What are the ages of your dc? Will you have any more? Do you feel guilt over the impact on the planet of 6 children? (not being goady, it's the main thing I'm worried about with having a second)

We've got two electric cars. a Nissan leaf and a MINI countryman.
11 is amazing!

God I don't envy you one bit! I've got the one and that's enough for me Grin

Ages are 16, 14, 14, 11, 9, 8
My youngest 3 are adopted- I'm not in the UK and adoption is slightly easier out here. We really loved having kids but did feel guilty about environmental impact and were quite old.

Did you always picture yourself with lots of DC?

Do you think it is sustainable for people to have such large families?

BirthdayKake · 18/06/2019 19:05

I'm about to have 5.

I had 4 with a shit husband and then he left so I was on my own. Now have a fantastic husband so I'm hoping 5 will be absolutely fine!

Sorry, that wasn't a question was it?!

I'm is often tricky to split yourself 6 ways and if DC were needier children then I'd be tearing my hair out. Me and DH make sure we do things as a family like movie or game nights and ensure that each DC regularly have time with just you, often around their hobbies. They're good at entertaining themselves as well, thank God.

(Also, the elder ones often don't want to know).

No, I didn't plan on having DC at all but I had my first at 42 and loved being a parent so tried for another. At that point I was only planning on 2 but had twins. We still really loved being parents and as I said, I did want more children but (to answer TFSRM) didn't want to have more of an environmental impact than I already did, which is why we looked into adoption.

I have 5. 17 16 14 5 and 2.

I get asked all the time how do I give each child attention. It's simple. Teenagers don't want you lol i practical have 2 kids 😂
I honestly can't Remember the last time we were all in the same room or on a trip together😬

Hopefully we'll be having number 6 soon 🤞🏼

I'm glad it's worked out for you BirthdayKake.
