I remember once hearing “Saying there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers”.
Two cats is our limit. Since we’re likely to have Anoreth’s dog move in when she goes back to sea, it wouldn’t be fair to any of them to get another cat. Our current cats already tolerate the dog.
My wife and I have five kids.
My wife has three sisters.
I have two sisters and four brothers.
My mom had three sisters and three brothers.
So far I have six grandchildren.
And on and on.....
bump
I wish he had asked her why she would kill herself. Is she not competent enough to handle more than one child at a time. Or is she too selfish to share her life and money with more than one? turn it back on these idiots and let them know how ridiculous they sound
I was thinking it was because of the clothes they're wearing. 1970?
How many kids do they have, in total?
I have twin sisters who are 13 months older than me. "Irish" triplets.
All I know is around 1953 when I would have been around 6, Daddy told us about it. If it had been left up to Mother she would never have told us. She would never say a bad thing about her family including her children.
Uncle Milton just barely got drafted for WWII but stayed in the Army tho he eventually transferred to the Air Force where he stayed until he retired.
My brother and I are one year and 5 days apart.
My wife gave birth to five (ours)
Her sisters:
one is a lesbian so no kids.
One had two kids...and
her third sister gave birth to thirteen!! She has custody of none and has lived in a park and with numerous men over the past twenty years. Luckily all her kids turned out normal.
My son always tells his prospects that he wants a small family-only six kids. With his sibs well into double digits, he may have a skewed perception. :)
We had a very similar upbringing! My friends LOVED coming over for Sunday dinner, both because my mom was a fabulous cook and because we always had a blast, swapping stories etc.
wow.... very lucky they turned out normal
Well, to the woman’s credit, I would imagine that she has Planned Parenthood on speed dial...
Hugs because I know. :(
There was 5 kids in my family, it must not have overwhelmed my parents much because they took in two of my cousins.
Hubby and I had three and I also claim his son from a former marriage, so we raised 4 and at different times have had extras. Now that our children are grown I really enjoy the grandchildren, but also wish we had had more kids. Not sure why but I do feel that way. I can’t tell him that though because he wanted more to begin with.
I'm sure you remember manual-focus cameras and the annoying fiddling about by the photographer, right?
lol. A little bit. I do remember the Polaroids though. heh
Does it sound terrible to say it feels a little better knowing I’m not the only one?
God loves children, and God loves mothers, or He wouldn’t have made it so the latter have the former!
