It's not officially LARGE, apparently.

Blinkin' well is form where I'm sitting...

LOL at you posting this in Pedants' Corner!

my family feels large at 6.45pm when I want them both to feck off to bed

the category is 4+ children and from where i am sitting the difference is enoooormous!

Well I guess I am going to find out in 3 months time.............

How about if you have three children and:

a) No husband?
b) A very demanding/unhelpful husband?
c) A really enormous dog?
d) A live-in au pair?
e) A mother in law who likes to come to stay for long periods as often as possible?

I have 3 and to us it's large as most other people here only have 1 or 2. I'd love more but dh doesn't and after having 5 miscarriages and awful pregnancies it's probably best this way

PaulaY _ I have 4 children and I disagree. I think it depends on the children.

i personally found 3-4 a huge leap
suddenly the number of children just looked so so many

peoples faces look on in horror when you enter a retaurant

the dental waiting room is full and its just your children

bedtime is no longer just bearable....

Lol there's always someone who's going to have a moan eh?

maybe we should have a 'slightly larger family than most but not as bigger that lot' section, too?

hatrick- suprisingly upbeat, i occasionaly think OMG what am I doing but then I don't find 3 particuarly difficult. How old are your dc's?

I think it does depend on circumstances and the children. I have a very hands on DH, no other help from parents etc
I also have 3 horses,1 dog and 3 cats but IMO it is about being very organisd,time management and being able to prioritise.

sorry.. not as big as that lot...

Don't you mean 'What is the difference between a family of three and a family of four?' Your thread title was most unclear, and that is is the type of thing up with which the residents of pedants' corner will not put.

hatrick you have email

pedilla wow you have got a lot of legs!

lol Rosa. Someone had to say it.

I think your family is large if you think it is. Just the same as your child being G&T if you say he is. Or should the G&T threads allow only those whose child has an IQ of 150 or higher?

Can of worms, Swedes, can of worms...

Hatrick the ones with only 3 are just miffed cos they can't join Ignore em!!

Well, i'm not annoyed in the slightest, hatrick!

Just intrigued/amused at drawing of line at 4.
