Does your family support your choice to have a large family?
I am from a family of 4 (parents + my brother and I) and my husband is from a family of 6 (parents, husband + 3 sisters). My brother has 2 kids, a boy and a girl. We had our boy and a girl and everyone thought that we would be done. Then we went for our third. Three years later we unexpectedly became pregnant with twins and this is just incomprehensible to our families. They don’t understand why we would want 5 kids, and although we didn’t exactly plan it, we don’t see anything wrong with it. We have the money, the jobs, and the love to support a family of 7.
I was wondering if anyone else can relate.
I can certainly relate, and it’s no one else’s business how many kids you and your husband have together. They don’t have to "understand" it if they don’t pay your bills!

I’m from a family with 6 children and having this many children is hard work! If you’re up for the challenge, good luck to you and your husband! Don’t let your family stop you. =3

well, I come from a family with only 3 kids, but I have a friend who has 4 brothers. And she is the only girl. And I enjoy being with her family, because since they have more kids, they aren’t as spoiled, and they have so much love and they get along. And I think it’s you and your husband’s choice how many kids you have, not your parents’.

I was against having kids - my dad asked when he was to be a grandparent - I thought it entirely insensitive - it was more his wishes than mine.
In these days I do not think it responsible to have large families - each child will produce more than one offspring potentially causes the world problems exponentiating the size of the population,but ultimately it’s your decision considering you can handle the finances etc. It’s your choice what you take into acount over this - the massive irresponsibility comes from people who have them unplanned and not being able to cope financially or otherwise.
For myself I don’t think the world is in great shape to take large numbers of people and I would take that into account -the next person is perhaps not so considerate of global conditions.
What it isn’t - is your parent’s decision.
It’s also possible that you might be creating a whole host of solution providing brains - so do your own thing and don’t suffer any anxiety about it.
