We seem to be a very small minority, the average seems to be 2, why do you think shis is? i have 4 boys and i love my big family although it wont get any bigger. who else is there out there?

Depends if you include the husband, the dog, and at least one grown-up dependent I adore but may as well have parental rights for, lol.

I'm not sure you are in the minority, roslynrosie. I seem to see lots of parents with 3 and over. Though I do know several with 2, I guess.

yes i spose husbands should count, they need as much looking after as the kids, and they need just as much toys too,

I also have four children 2 girls and 2 boys, not planning on adding to the number. :D
Ages ranging from 4 to 17.

Also one of my friends has also got 4.

brilliant someone else who is not afraid to ger there hands dirty, are you also sick of the coment "do you not have a tv in your house" i have heard it 4 times in the past week. and " are you trying for a football team".

My sister has 3 girls and 2 boys and my friend has 6 boys and 3 girls.

No, i don't tend to get the comments much as there are quite good age gaps between my kids, the not having a tv comment would probably more like the tv was broke that night lol. ones 17 then 12 then 9 and the little one is 4.

My sister has 3 girls and 2 boys and my friend has 6 boys and 3 girls.

Wow nine don't think i would be able to cope with that many. My Grandad was one of 13.

Makes me feel like a coward for fretting about having two!

I think if it wasn't for the fact she had 2 prematurely she'd have more.

My parents also come from big families. My mum was one of 7 and my Dad one of 16!!

are you also sick of the coment " are you trying for a football team".

A relative of mine is expecting her 10th child in July :o They have 4 boys and 5 girls, the oldest is 13 and they are all very well behaved most of the time.
They did joke that they're probably not going to stop there - likely to go for the full team plus subs!!

i have 2 girls and 2 boys aged between 9yrs and 6 months, the average seems to be 3 now days as most parents i know have 3. as my 3 youngest are under 4yrs people ask me whens the next?? my hubby would have more but ive told him he would have to stay home and me work if we did

I have 3 boys 1 girl at home with me,age from newborn to 12

I love parents with more than 2 children, ideal people to hold book parties for me, :hihi: :P

However im still waiting for the arrival of baby no1 - half way there!!

i just have one boy but love to have more but thats a bit of a problem when you're single and dont get t go out to meet new people!!!

jesus! ive just got the one, can't imagine having 10!!! i'm one of 4 and its nice to grow up in a big family, not sure if its quite as nice having to bring them up though!

i have 4 kids too 2 boys 2 girls,, ranging from 6 to newborn,, i think its pretty easy if u have a good routine with so many children im from a really small family and i love the fact my children each have a brother and sister!

my sister in law has 6!!! i wont b trying to catch her up tho 4 is more than enuf!

Hi there i have 5 kids, 4 boys 1 girl b-11 b-9 g-5 b-3 b-1, get the comment about the tv from time to time, hubby always answers how do you think we get in the mood? lmao usually shuts em up.
Thinkin about 1 more but not sure. Dont think i would go as far as 10

I have a 10 year old in Sheffield, a three year old here in Leicesteshire and one on the way. I also had a son in sheffield but he died.
My other half tells me that she wants more kids and at the age of 30 I suppose thats natural. Im 46 though and too bloody old to have more so I can see friction in the future.

ive stopped at 4 bacause, i cannot carry anymore (pelvis) 6 wold be nice, its great its never boring and there is always something to do, i love it,

I have 3 girls at the moment aged 7, 4 and 2 and i am expecting a boy in 9 weeks time, the house is never quiet (until after 8 o'clock ) but i wouldn't have it any other way !
