Hahaha labour is worse the more you have IME but I am bitter.

lalin · 15/10/2009 21:16

What a fantastic family, 12 children lucky mummy

regularmum · 15/10/2009 21:22

wow that impressive - i quite fancy another but that would make 3, in awe of anyone who manages lots.

LynetteScavo · 15/10/2009 21:25

12??

12???

largeginandtonic · 15/10/2009 21:52

A measley 7 here

Labour is worse the more you have, the after pains are like labour all over again!

I dread to think what her washing pile is like. The washing is a blardy nightmare.

katnkittens · 15/10/2009 22:04

Pregnant with my 4th.... in my area that's a little bit scandalous.....

I would love 12 as long as I didn't have to be pregnant or give birth to them..

No!!!!! I wasn't implying that!!!! More that she would be so busy with the first lot that she wouldn't have had time to obsess over pregnancy or over-anaylyse every little thing with newborns!!!

God yes the washing pile...horrendous I'd imagine. We have only 2 and the machine never stops. In fact I am lucky to get things back in the drawer/wardrobe before they hit the washer again.

I;m afraid I don't believe her. Sorry.

BiteOfFun · 17/10/2009 17:28

I think I would choose to live in a nudist community once the laundry became an issue

lalin · 17/10/2009 20:38

Maggie, I know wispa and can confirm she has not just 12 DC, but the most amazing 12 DC I have ever known. They are all exceptionally beautiful/handsome and clever . If that were not enough, they are sporty, musical and just the nicest children anyone could wish for.
The hardest task is deciding which is my favorite. I won't say otherwise she will recognize me.
Further more, she has a gorgeous, handsome husband with a successful job and lives in a lovely house.

No, she is kind and gentle. Very blonde petite and pretty. Puts up with a lot of flak from others with a sad shrug. She is not asking the taxpayer for anything is entirely self sufficient.

Some of these posts aren't very nice, are som people jealous by any chance. I have 2 absolutely beautiful dds. I did want more but sadly I am very unwell during pregnancy and didn't feel I could have any more.

wispagold - you lucky thing. Hope you have a large tumble dryer.
