I have 5 children, all under the age of 8yrs old. This is my second marriage and we are both very happy and love having alot of children.My husband works full time and I am a stay at home mum. We are planning for another baby.
My family don't like me having a large family, because its not fair on the children, but other family and friends always comment on how well behaved and friendly my children are, although I do have 2 children with special needs, who can be abit of a handful at times.
Please tell me your views on large families!
I know I'am not the only large family, my friend has 6 children!!

I'm in the same boat only ours is a bit larger. We are a blended family as well...my three and his 5 and one of our own together on the way...the 8 children are: 7 yr boy, 6 yr girl, 5yr boy, 4 yr girl, twin 3 yr old boys, 2 yr girl, one yr boy, and then of course the new baby is due in april.
Not everyone in your life will appreciate the number of people in your household...just bare in mind that with more children comes more challenge, joy, and frustration, but it also comes with a bulk discount and tons more hugs at bed time.
Keep your chin up and invest in paper towles.

It great to know you also have large family. I agree more children is great there is always lots of things to enjoy and loads of hugs too!!
I love every minute of the day.
