i dont think 3 kids is a large family

[mummysaidno]

I have 7 soon to be 9 and really thought that's what was deemed large. But everyone here seems to have 2/3/4

I agree, but I think some people just come on here to get advice from those with larger families and others feel that 3 or 4 children is a large family because its larger than adverage. Its subjective really as a number is not specified. A large family is a differrent number for differrent people.

But it's larger families rather than large
Subtle difference but I suppose anyone with more than 2 technically has a larger family
I have 3 with no4 on the way, I agree 3 is not really a large family, not sure if 4 is large, ask me in 6 months or so when this one arrives!

I've got three and many friends with one or two seem to think three counts as "larger"!

If you really are bothered then maybe ask for a special subsection. How about "Really large families" versus "three and four"? Personally I think the beauty of the threads on here is that there's a wide range of perspectives from mums of various sizes. It's not a private club where you "earn" access by having 6 DCs under the age of two...

I have 4, so I think from 4 upwards you can call it a large family

I have 3 and don't consider us a large family, but if we went to 4 I think I would.

Three not large, no.

Ive been lurking here since dd3 but felt a bit of a fraud. Now with dc4 coming I feel I am eligible.

Does it matter? I've been reading here out of interest; time management/organisational tips etc. Got two and had bfp yesterday

Its not, but there was a thread on here sharing favorite tips for large families (laundry, cooking budgeting all sorts), I was pg with DC3 at the time and the advice on that thread defiantly helps me even now. 3 isn't large but I still do things differently to friends with 2.
