expecting my third and I don't think I'm done yet

I would think that 6 would be starting to be alot

15 - wow! There was a woman in the press last month or so who had 20 children, all single births.

I have one DD, age 4. We no longer have any plans to have more children.

I used to live next to the Thames with a creek running under our house..there was a family who lived at the back that used to all pile into a punt and come through it to join the Thames..they had something like 15 kids! It was a sight to see...

Yes she did have a boy, number 15 was the jackpot, and all her kids are singletons too!

I have two. That's it.

That's all we both want.

expatinscotland · 07/08/2006 16:16

Sorry, but I think the Duggers are major freaks. They make me embarrassed to be American.

expat! They are a bit 'different' but not that bad surely!?

expatinscotland · 07/08/2006 16:21

I had to turn them off, schneeb. Just made me want to be sick.

Don't want to turn this thread into a debate about what's wrong w/mullets and 16 kids and whatnot, though, so I'll parp now.
