How many children?

[nineteenninetyseven]

Just wondering how many children everyone has and how old they are? What do you class as a big family?

I only have 3 but i’d class 4 or over as a bigger family. Dm had a 3.5yo, 12mo & newborn twins.

1. I think that’s a big family these days. But I grew up in a much bigger one!

I have 7, so definitely a big family. I would class 4 and over as a larger family

But I’d class 5 plus as a big family.

Sorry forgot the ages . 11,10,9,7,5,4 and 5 months

I have 5 kids: 18; 16; 14; 13 and 4. I would say anything over 3 is a big family

11here!!

11

We have four children. Three went to plan and our bonus bean is nearly 5. It doesn't feel like we are a large family although it does feel like a lot of children if we meet up with our friends who also have four. My children are all paid for and supported by us, no benefits are claimed if that's important to anyone

Sorry they're 18,16,12 and 5.

I only clicked on this thread because as a mother of an only I was interested in the dynamics of larger families. Holy shit, 11? I can't even begin to comprehend.
Are you still sane

10 children here, 5 boys & 5 girls.

Sorry forgot to add
12, 11, 9, 8, 7, twins @ 6, 4, 2, 11 months. I class 5 and over a large family 😊

Still sane (ish) don't drink or smoke!!
Think cortisol keeps me going!!

I class anything four and above as a large family.

I have six, DS1 (15), DD1 (12), DD2/DS2 (10), DD3 (7) and DS3 (4).

DH and I are both from large families, I'm also one of six, and he's one of ten. No way was I going to have that many though!

I have 4 and I consider us a large family.
17 ,15, 13 & 3.

I’d say 4 and up is quite big. I have 6, ages 2, 5, 8, 9 (very close to 10), 11 and 13.

I have four plus two step children who's mum died young who is m very close to and love as much as my own.
25,21,13,7,4 and 3.
I think 4+ as a big family.

*im very close to.

I have 4 and we want to try for number 5 in 3 years when I'm 40. I've always wanted to be a mum it's all I've ever wanted to do. I live the hectic noisy busy life.

I have 4 - ages 8, 6, 3 & 8 months...

3 seems to be the new “2” where I am (not in the UK) and there seem to be a lot of only children too...

I would say 4+ is a large family as 3 is completely normal...

4 children aged 18 (19 in couple of months), 17, 16 and 5 year old. Was happy with three kids, then youngest happened who thug unplanned I think completes us. I do think we are a big family, and am from a family of 8 children

We have 6; aged 7, 7, 6, 6 and two week old twins (not 3 sets of twins - includes step children).

I am one of 8 myself; aged 41, 37, 34, 30, 28, 27,19 and 19.

I consider 4 or more a large family. We have 4 and I'm not sure if we'll have more. Everyone says "you'll know when you're done" but I dont know how I feel yet and DH is the same.

I have 5.
20, 18, 3, 2, 4 months.
