Hiya I'm new to this like literally just downloaded the app 5mins ago 😬 but I wanted to see how many big families are out there and when I searched it on here so many negative comments it shocked me! I'd like to chat with mums 4 or more ☺️

EsmaeDe I'm really curious about your children's names now!!! (don't worry, not expecting you to disclose them on here... although you could invent something ridiculous as a wind up?)

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:04

@MsTSwift I get it but if u have worried since school and I guessing u had your dc since school... why did u put them into such a overcrowded world u literally added to ur worry urself

I guess. But I stopped at 2. I would have felt guilty having more than that - replacement of 2 parents. We all reach our own conclusion on family size that was mine.

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:06

L@EsmaeDe @Mesmeri I want to know the names too now lol can't we say names on here (sorry newbie)

EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:09

@Mesmeri
I have no problem sharing
We have
Nola Raein
Arden Rhett
Marleigh Rose
Boston Blue
Tallulah Graye

This one will get (we think) Adelaide Belle or Oakley Joel

Mesmeri · 01/06/2020 21:09

You can say names if you want gracex4 but if her kids' names are really out there ti the point it makes her identifiable she (understandably) might prefer not to.

EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:09

@OtterBe4 I’ve listed them above 😊

A friend used to be a loss adjuster and visited homes to assess insurance claims. She was describing an unpleasant odour once and said that it reminded her of the smell of a house that has lots of kids living in it

Wolfgirrl · 01/06/2020 21:10

Yes grace it is overcrowded because of people having too many children! Why should half the population miss out so the other half can be irresponsible? Why dont we all just act responsibly so others dont have to make sacrifices on your behalf?

Mesmeri · 01/06/2020 21:10

Awww those are beautiful names!! I was expecting something bonkers from what you were saying, but those are just cool. What's not to like?

Sloth66 · 01/06/2020 21:11

We stopped at 2. Overpopulation is real, and I worry for the future. The impact of each child is way beyond any amount of recycling, flying and car driving.
Someone I know had 5dc, she now has 20 Grandchildren. That’s a lot of houses needing to be built....

EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:12

@twocandies toddlesplosh!! If your home is clean and your children are clean your house smells clean!

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:12

@EsmaeDe love them names they are cool

OP posts:
EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:13

@Mesmeri Thankyou we love them! Others not so much particularly Bos. We call him Bos (Boz)

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:13

Now we have smelly houses 🤣mine actually smells like clean washing and chlorine today because the dc have overly used the pool and the towels

OP posts:
EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:14

@gracex4 Thankyou 😊
🤣 not only are we contributing to earths decline but our houses smell

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:16

This chat has amused me.😆

OP posts:
EsmaeDe · 01/06/2020 21:17

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:18

iusedtohavechickens · 01/06/2020 21:19

Hi I have four girls!
They are aged, 18, 16, 13 and 1! Youngest is adopted as we foster and couldn't let her go! 🥰

Technically I have been mum to 38 children if you count my own plus the many who have spent time with us over the years! ❤️

Wolfgirrl · 01/06/2020 21:19

@Sloth66 it's an argument that cannot be refuted, that's why it get glossed over and joked about on threads like these.

gracex4 · 01/06/2020 21:21
