I'm a mum of 6. AMA.

[Lotsofbabies6]

That's it, really. I'll answer if I find any time 😅

[RandomMusings7]

Why?

[MolliciousIntent]

Do you genuinely believe that you have the time and resources to adequately parent that many children?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

What are their ages, and how many boys/girls in what order?

[Skinnermarink]

Do you feel that you and the other parent you can give adequate time, attention and resources to each one?

[Lotsofbabies6]

I have just about enough time. Probably wouldn't for any more.

Why? I wonder that myself sometimes 🤣 probably a combination of low self esteem, having no other family, and loving being a mum. Most of the time

[Lotsofbabies6]

Boy - 14
Girl - 11
Girl - 9
Girl - 6
Girl - 3
Girl - 1

[RandomMusings7]

Were all of them planned?

How much do the older ones help out with babysitting the younger ones?

[wheresthehope]

Do you have a favourite

[Lotsofbabies6]

Just to clarify, the low self esteem is a thing of the past. I made bad choices at young ages

[Maireas]

How much care and attention can you give them? Do you plan individual time with each one?

[Lotsofbabies6]

3 were planned, 3 were not.
Favourite is whoever is behaving the best at that moment 😅
Babysitting as in what?

[Lotsofbabies6]

I think I give them a lot of care and attention. I don't do much else, tbh 🤣 anf yes I do plan individual time with each one, although it's nearly impossible to get my teenager out of his bedroom!

Babysitting as in putting the older ones in charge of supervising qnd helping out with the young ones when you need help?

[OrangePumpkinLobelia]

Do you have a DH / DP? how do you both juggle 1-1 time with each child (and each other!)

[LadyKenya]

You can choose to answer, or not, as it is a bit nosy, but can you afford to provide for them.

[Maireas]

Do you have a job?
Do the dads or dad provide income and support?

[Lotsofbabies6]

Yes the older ones do help. But their homework, playing out with friends etc comes first.

[Suzi9989]

Do you take ur DCs to do your weekly food shop?

How many loads of washing per week?

[toomuchlaundry]

How can you have 3 unplanned children?

[Lotsofbabies6]

We don't really get any time together at the minute tbh

[40andfit]

How to you manage to read to them all and listen to them read everyday? I struggle with 2.

How did you ”accidentally” fall pregnant three times?

[Lotsofbabies6]

@toomuchlaundry

How can you have 3 unplanned children?

By being drunk or sexually abused I guess

[Endlesslysurprised84]

@Lotsofbabies6

By being drunk or sexually abused I guess

how many different fathers are involved?
