Dear Mumsnet please could we have a 'Larger Families' section?

rather like the 'multiples' section

it could be for 4+ children maybe and we can all get together and discuss how to run home soup kitchens/chinese laundry and whether or not Nick Leeson had the right idea for how to finance our broods?

I have mooted it before and people seem quite keen - it is different having a lot of children and it helps to have support

Thanks !

I never got pics of me pg with the other 4 so I wanted to really remember this one as I am sure it's my last

Unless we win the lottery and get a bigger house
