Large Families » Group


In Australia the average family has 1.7 kids. Once you have your third child you are then considered a large family. It is not always easy planning things when you have more than the average. Here we can discuss the issues of having a large family.

Hello?

It seems no one's been here for a while. Just wanted to say hi and ask how people manage a large household especially when you're gone from 3 kids to 5 in one hit. Any tips would be great!

Thought i'd join here, i think my family is large!  I have three kids...which is large enough for me!!  According to the government on my family allowance i get a large family supplement so it must be large!! Lol...

Hey,

Well I'm not sure if I oficially fit as I have only had 2 children but I do have 3 beautiful step children on top of my 2 so all up that's 5.

My husband (Troy) and I are currently TTC our 1st child together and have been trying since April 2007 I was diagnosed with PCOS in October 2007 and am hoping and praying for a little christmas present. I have a Dr. appointment on Thursday and have been feeling unwell for about 2 weeks so a positive result would be great.

birth question?

by libbylincolnComment Published at 19:5719:572 comments2 comments35 Visits35 VisitsReport

id love to hear from parents here about how they went with the births specialy with the more children they had .

was it more painful after your 3rd child?

did the birth go longer ?

were they born on time or late ?

if you had both boys and girls is it true girls tend to come la compared to boys ?

OMG

Ok, so we have 4 girls already.  Well, we are planning on having more.  Not sure how to feel about it, but it's something we always knew would happen.  Despite my assurances I'd had enough! lol.

Money is not the issue, it is about sharing love and watching these incredible little humans grow and become assertive little monkeys! lol.  No, we feel we want to leave a positive mark on the world by ensuring the next generation are as happy as we are.

We also got to pick up the slack from couples who are too career minded to start their own families! lol.  I don't mind! lol.

It has been a while since I was here.  Seems it's been a while since anyone was here! lol.  Too busy with all the kids and  catching up on sleep! lol.

Christmas is just around the corner and having 4 kids means I have had to start my shopping in July.  Almost done.  I get theirs from Santa done and then gotta work on the rest!

Going to be lots of mess on Christamas morning too!  all that papaer! lol.  Better hire a skip bin for a few days!

Oh no, bubs having a grizzle.  gotta get back to her.

Despite our 4 little monkeys, it is really quiet here today.  Must be the calm before the storm! lol.  No seriously, there is a storm brewing outside.

Getting Clucky Again

by ArnaComment Published at 21:3621:360 comments0 comments29 Visits29 VisitsReport
No matter what I do, I can't stop thinking about having another baby.  That would mean 5 in total.!  Not practical given our circumstances, but I can't help it!

Any ideas on how to stop this?!  I've tried knocking myself over the head with a frypan, but hit the wall instead; sleeping for 7 days straight, but got hungry and had to get up! and I've even tried counting to ten, backwards, in Japanese!  Just kidding, but it really is starting to scare me!  I have trouble coping with the ones I have now.

Oh well, if anyone can find a way of putting me off having more please help!!!! lol
