Larger families!! Shall we have a roll call?

[iclaudius]

Who fancies checking in with names and more importantly NUMBERS!!!

I have DD1 who is 22, DS1 who is 17, DS2 who is 7 but only for another six days and DD2 who is 2and a half.

I'm a single parent which makes me feel I'm looking after 500 children at times and not just 4!!

I have 5 dcs aged 10, 8, 6(dts) and 5. 3 boys and 2 girls. It is all getting easier at the moment. Probably the lull before the teenage hormone storm that will be coming .

I have 4 and 3 SC
5 girls and 2 boys.

A tiny 3 dd and a ds.....yes he was last......but we were delighted either way!

Not having anymore.....DH has had the snip

DD2 arrived about 4.5 weeks early, but all was well, and doctor said maybe my due date was a couple of weeks out, as her weight didn't reflect a baby being born 4.5 weeks early.

So I have my fourth and last now.

DH will be having le snip very soon.

We have 5 aged 4, 4, 10, 12, 14 3 girls 2 boys :)

I have 4 and another due at christmas.

Ages are 5,4 3 and 9 months.

I have stopped thinking about how many we will have,at the moment ijust know that i will probably want another one after this one so that will be 6.FInancially we can afford lots so i guess its just down to how many we can cope with!

4 aged: 6 1/2 (x2), 3 and 16 months.

I feel quite happy although stretched with 4. DH has had the snip but I worry at 33 I will actually want another down the line.....

5 boys - 12, 10, 8, 6 and 3 and baby DD who is 15 months

I'm almost 39 and I really want 2 more

I'm a lightweight with 5, 4 ds and 1 dd, I get the 'kept trying til we got a girl' as well but no, she is in the middle. Dd wants us to have a sister for her lol but I'm done I think.

We have 6, 4 boys and 2 girls, eldest is 30 and youngest is 9.

First grandchild due in October.

NK congrats on first grandbaby!

but where is that namechange we talked about?
I have a brand new name, see?

Our little lady arrived a week late , in April ....fortunately not April fools day :D she is our 3rd daughter, so girls catching up. She is so beautiful & we feel very blessed & we are thoroughly grateful for all our children. ? But it's hard work !!!!

That should be an exclamation mark, not a question Mark lol . ? Blasted tablet

hurryup
if I had twins - a boy and a girl- I'd have what you have.

shall I try?

Today I found out the sex of 2nd set of twins are!

A little boy & girl. So now family and friend don't have to keep guessing if they're fraternal or another ID set haha.

So, I now have 4 boys and 2 girls! :)

congratulations multimama

I have 4, ds1 age 6, ds2 3 (nearly 4), ds3 2 and dd 5 days old!!
Can't really comment on how I'm going to cope with 4 yet but this will be our last, dh is having the snip. Have been getting lots of 'you got your girl at last' type comments but that's to be expected I suppose. Didn't know we were having a girl so am a bit shocked as I expected to be a mum of 4 boys!

To be nosey. How do those of you with 6 or more manage financially? I ask because we would love more but just can't afford it. Don't think we could stretch to running a 9 seater, for example. Are lots of you self employed or do you simply pull your belts in tighter?

DH has a great job and a new promotion. And he works in finance so he's great with money. We sell to buy with a lot of things i.e sell things/products and with that money we buy the product we want. Luxuries are saved up for, Xmas etc are bought throughout year. I'm on maternity leave and have 2 jobs that are done online which I get paid for. And our child fees etc will be paid for from my trust fund when we move.

DH keeps everything on a tight leash and we're practical especially on those tight months. We struggle and manage some months.

5 here.
4 DDs and one DS. DS is DC2.
They are - almost 12, 15, 18, 20 and 23.
Two redheads, two brunettes and one blondey; all blue and blue-green eyes, pale Irish skin, freckles - some more, some less.
I feel I've sort of retired from the really active bit of parenting at this point, or maybe I'm just a zombie on autopilot. I've been a single mother for six years now.

I have 6, they are 11, 7, 5, 3, 19months and one week, dh has said no more :(
