have you 'loads' of children?

[madorwhat]

How big is a big family?

how many do you have? do you think you will have a big family?
I am expecting no6 am I crazy?

Someone once told me that as long as you've got a hand for each child, the family is just the right size. I think (being of my parents' generation) she was probably thinking of mum, dad and up to 4 children.

I'd love to have four .

hands or children!!!!

Just 2 but it feels like loads!

am I mad?!!

Both!

Even with only two children, it would be useful to have a few extra hands at times!

Of course you are. But you can't rationalise the desire to have children. Mad, knackered, and happy.

I have three boys, would like another child one day.

Mum one of four,
Dad one of 16

yes, SIXTEEN!

not having that many!!!

All the same mum?

Same Mum, same dad, his Mum (my Grandma) was bed bound from number 8 (8 girls eight boys) so older daughters raised the youngest ones. Dad was number 15.

ive got 2, which is about 16 too many at times!!

Wow.

Imagine going through eight more pregnancies bed-bound. TBH, that sounds more awful to me than having so many in the first place.

A women on the street we used to live on had 14 but couldn't and wouldn't control em. The number of times I found her 2 year old ds wandering the street in just his nappy and took him home.
