Looking for Other Moms of Big Families

C.
I am hoping to be in the three or more children club soon!! My husband and I are trying for number 3. You are right that there aren't many people with more than 2 cildren anymore. My family is not supportive with my decision to have more children...but I guess that it's not their choice
A.

I am the mom of 7 wonderful children. I absolutely love having a big family! I have 5 girls ages 12,10,9,8,6 and 2 boys ages 4,3.

Hi, my name is G.. We just had number three 4 months ago, but have no plan for stopping. I'm always looking for moms like me to talk to, because I've also noticed we are a dying breed. If you'd like to chat at all my email is ____@____.com thanks

I am 7 of 9. I am all in favor of many children if parents can afford it. Medically I had to stop at 3. The rest is up to all of you.

I have four kids, does that count? :) ____@____.com you like, I could monitor this post and make a compilation of all the addresses for you. :) I would like to be able to talk to moms of large families as well. It seems like everyone thinks I'm some sort of freak or something and I know people who have more kids than I do. My stepdad's daughter has 9.

that is wonderful! I am a mother of 4...I have Twin 6 yr old identical boys, a 3 year old daughter and a 10 month old little boy...I love children I love mine unfortunately I am unable to have more but if I could I would lol...glad there are more out there left that have the larger families..

I have 5 children also. We are more of an extended family, but I have had all 5 kids since the oldest of my husbands was 3 years old. I have 2 girls from a first marriage they are now 13 and 15 years and my husband has 2 boys from his first marriage and they are 14 and 15 years. We have a daughter together and she is 11 years now. We have been together since the kids were very little. In fact they don't remember either of us being with the other parent. It was very crazy at our house when they were little. I was a stay at home mom plus I babysat some of the kids whose parents worked with my husband. We just moved to Nevada in June and my older 4 kids made the decision to stay in Texas where they have lived thier whole lives. It has been tuff, but I think for the most part, with schools being the way they are and this city being the way it is, that it was a good decision for now. It is still fresh though and is getting old. I am actually going to Texas to see them the next weekend. Then I am going back for Christmas. They were here with us this summer also. Well write back if you want to.

hi there my name is C. and I am in the same situation as you are. I have four children and when I tell people that their jaws just drop. all of my friends seem to have only 1 maybe two children so it is hard to have friends because they think my house is "crazy".

I have 4 kids and stay at home. My 2 oldest are in fullday school right now, but I am home with the 2 little ones. I do take one class in the afternoons m-w-f I would love to get together and talk and let the kids play. Are you in the fargo moorhead area? My email is ____@____.com i also have yahoo messenger.

I am SUCH a fan of big families! I have a nice "little" family of four boys, my husband is the 10th of ten and I am the 9th of ten. I dont know what people do for emotional, financial, physical support who dont have family resources! You are so not alone in this big family deal! ~snicker, snicker~ keep up the good work! besides its fun to make babies with the man of your dreams, if you want them and can take care of them have as many as you want! oh yea, I have three sister-in-laws with over 10 kids on has 14!

Hi C., I am a mother of 6 girls. 21,19,16,14,6,3 my 2 older ones are in colledge 2 in high school 1 in 1st grade and the little one stays home with mom. my husband works away from home. he comes home every 4-6 weeks. for the weekend. tough but i live in Alaska and you have to go where the work is. but any time you would like to chat my e-mail is ____@____.com to talk to you soon.

Hi there C.! Another proud mom of four kids PLUS the fifth is on the way. I am sooo glad to see I'm NOT alone. For a while there, I thought I was all alone. All my friends and relatives only have 1, 2 or 3 kids each. We were the biggest family as it is with the 4 kids that we have...even more now that we are expecting #5 in January/February. I have 2 boys and 2 girls..and the 5th is still unknown. I have a 6 y/o who goes to 1st grade...followed by a 4 y/o who goes to Pre-K, then I stay home full time with my 2 y/o and a 10 month old. I'm kinda freaked out because my 10 month old and the baby who is coming will be SO CLOSE in age. I dont really know how I'm gonna manage with the 2 small ones and the 3 older ones. How about you...how old are your kids? I thought we were done with 4...but looks like I'm being blessed one more time! My email address is: ____@____.com

More power to you and all the other super moms out there :o) Keep in touch!

I am a mother of 4 boys. My oldest just started kindergarten this year and my youngest is 6 weeks old. The only thing different about me is that I also work a full time job. This is my first week back to work after having the baby and it is hectic. It would be wonderful to have another mom in the same situation that I am in.

I am the mother/step mother of 5. One is mine, three are his and one is ours. We are talking about one more as well. We only have all the kids every other weekend but when they are here my home is complete. When they are not all here I miss them very much. Where are you located?

hi C.!

i am the mother of a 9 year old boy from my first marriage. my husband has two boys (6 and 4) from his first. together we have a two year old daughter and i am 5 months pregnant with identical twin girls! my husband and i wanted a big family but the twins really threw us for a loop. my stepsons don't spend as much time with us as we'd like but even without them here i think it will be crazy once the twins come. i can't wait! people who see me with my kids and find i'm having twins look at me like i'm crazy. the other day i met this other mom at costco who had 5 and it was like we immediately bonded. we do need to stick together! where are you located? i'm in the portland area.

Dear C.,

I am a mother of 5 also (which includes a step-daughter). I stay at home with my children, 2 are in school and my step-daughter, is obviously with her mom, but we see her often, and I am here with my two babies during the day. They are 6, 4, 3, 19 months and 4 months. I love having so many little ones around! We are planning on heving at least one more, maybe two...just depends on what God has planned for us. My husband is one of 8 children! So we know a little bit about having/being a part of a large family. You can e-mail me if you ____@____.com

I watch a couple children from home. We are in the process of starting a preschool. I would love to chat more and learn a little more about your family. I am 26 years old.

Hi C.,

I have 4 kids! My son is 7, and I have 3 daughter 2 years, and 10 month old identical twins. Every once in awhile I get the urge for a 5th, but most of the time I feel that our family is complete.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. It's hard having so many so close in age, but you will do great!

Hello Cynthis,

By the looks of it we arent as dead as we thought! Thats great. Im a mom of 4 11 yr old boy 2 yr old boy and 2 3.5 month old twin girls. If I get a dollar for everytime I get told I have my hands full I would be so rich my husband could retire! Im so tired of hearing that. I love having 4 kids its what I always wanted growing up. I never had a sister and my brother never had a brother. I wanted 2 boys and 2 girls so that everyone could have a brother and sister. Its hard but I do love it. We should start a yahoo group for moms with 4 or more kids!!! LOL here is my email address ____@____.com

Hope to see you there!!!

dear C.
I am a mother of 2 children. But I do have experiance of a big family. I am the oldest of 6 children. I am 25 yrs old, my youngest brother is 10. I loved comming from a big family. i have 5 of the best friends in the world. I admire you for having a big family. I loved growing up in my family, my mother was a stay at home mom as well (I followed her footsteps in that way.) I know big families are catagorized as inconvient stupid and cost consumming. I will tell you we didn't always have the best of everything but I knew that I was loved. I had a great mother and father and a wonderful support system. I just wanted to tell you from a kids aspect that i love my big family. My parents' families live far away so I at least know that my children will have all thier aunts and uncles near by (we live in the same town) and they will always have someone to go to for advice if they don't want to talk to mom or dad. Good luck with your big family and just remember the love they feel from you and their siblings are what they remember most.
