Anyone have 5 or more?

[Mbeelbals]

Hi I’m new to this
But I’m thinking about getting the implant removed and ttc for a fifth! I absolutely love my big family, but wondering if one more might be one too many or too much to handle
The little ones I have are 9, 8, 6 and 3!
Is anyone here considering more or how about those with five or six is it a lot more to handle
Thanks 😊

We have 5. Aged from 14 down to 6. I found the early years easier. Everyone ate at the same time, went to bed at the same time. I still remember looking at them all one day as they were all huddled on the floor watching TV, the realisation that that all 5 were mine was a real eye opener 😂 Now it’s starting to be more exhausting as they get older. 3 have ASD, it’s full on. Even without the additional needs, I still find it very hard trying it give each child the individual attention they want/need/desire. But I daresay there’s a lot of parents with less children who might feel like that sometimes too. I never got to the bottom of my washing basket until last year! In saying that, despite the tiring times I absolutely love having all 5. They’re a great bunch and all have a lovely ‘siblings’ relationship, I’m hoping they are friends for life. Cost wise it’s expensive, but that’s just something you get used to! Go for what’s best for you, only you can decide!

I have 5 kids but only one in my care which is my youngest child

I take it you have a set of twins in the mix? That's a lot of individual pregnancies in that time if you don't

Yes I have 5! - DD15, DD15, (twins) DS12, DD9 and DD5 (she is 6 tomorrow 😁)
