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?)

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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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....

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