what assumptions would you make about a family with four to six children?

[ChelseeDagger]

Not wanting to start a bun fight or being goady in the slightest. Just looking for honest opinions, whether they be positive, negative or neutral.

No telly? joking obviously.
I'd have a level of respect tbh as I stuck to one as found the early years v hard tbh.

Dont know why I put tbh twice

That the parents are permanently exhausted?

Not the slightest bit concerned about the environment

I know quite a few families with 4+ children. I don't really make any assumptions about them because of the number of children they have, I just take people how they present themselves - number of children has no bearing on that.

Would depend on the behaviour and appearance of the kids tbh.

I have 6 kids, people assume I don't work, 'joke' about not having a TV, that I just had them for the benefits, that my kids are feral and badly brought up.... they are all completely wrong.

6+ children and I automatically think "Hasidic Jewish". I'm Jewish myself and know lots of large ultra-Orthodox families.

Wealthy, possibly religious or other cultural influences. I'd also assume a SAHM.

Probably that they like children? Or else are Catholic/Mormon/some other religion that are keen on all teh babiez.

That they must really like kids and being parents. 🤷‍♀️

4! I wouldn’t think anything, I know loads of people with 4 kids.

5 or 6 I would think they were a bit mad and also that they we’re probably practising Catholics

I would assume at-least one SAHP.

No assumptions . I will have dc4 in a few months 🤷‍♀️

That the parents love children/being parents and that they are very brave I would likewise assume there is a SAHM unless there are large age gaps between the kids.

they're crazy, dont care about the environment and have a lot of money.

afraid i come from a family where its not unusual to have 4+ kids, some have 8 or 9, and i think they're all mad, visiting them is chaos, and i'm afraid the kids are indeed, feral.

That either they have loads of money, or they don’t intend on contributing towards uni, deposits etc.

You are being a goady fucker, OP. No stated reason for your 'research'.

The families I know with 4+ children are either

• very rich, traditional landed types

Or

• blended families where one pregnancy was twins. Definitely not as rich as the first.

This

Noisy. Big food bills. Don't arrive invisibly to the party. Lots of practice at conflict resolution.

Insult me if you must be with respect, I don't owe you an explanation.
You are at perfect liberty to ignore the post.

Religious, very wealthy or very poor.

Tired

I try not to make any assumptions about people. Certainly wouldn't in this case.

I might suspect the parents are tired of an evening but that's about it.
