re: Is 5 kids too many?

Quoting WiFeY- MoMMy- PReGGo:“ I say now you should opt for adoption, but that is JMO!!”

Here in Aus it is very hard and very costly to adopt. My sister was looking into it cause she has 2 kids and lost 2. She also wanted a large family. She was informed that it could cost up to $100,000 and have a waiting time of around 4-5 yrs. So they have opted not to do that now. My sister now does wildlife rescue and says that looking after baby possums and kangaroos fills here 'baby hole'.lol.

what about international adoption?? we are thinking either China or Africa... MAYBE mexico...

My fiance and I are expecting twin boysin November... My daughter from a previous relationship is the oldest at 5 years and he also has 2 children from a previous relationship a son Timothy who is 3 and a daughter Kassidy who is 7 months(born December 2007)... with the twins arrival that makes 5... I wouldnt change a thing! I love all of our kids! My fiance is also a child of 5 so it's something that we're acustomed to... I personally do not think that 5 children is too much... they keep you busy for sure!

Just as hard. They dont really make it easy here.

visectomies are reversible.

Yeh but he hasn't even got it done yet. I think he is too chicken shit. not that it worries me, it just buys me more time.

nahh it takes trial and error, and lots of practice!!!

AND PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can handle it go for it. I don't see anything wrong with it. I would love to have more after this one if I can handle it. Good luck

I want 3 or 4, but everyone wants something different. I say if you can support them comfortably, then why not have another one. It's all about what you can do and afford to do.

Now Rudolf.... after getting to know you for over a year now, here is my opinion....

If anyone on this planet was meant to have 5 kids (or more? LoL) it would be YOU!!!

You are so in love with your children and your hubby and you are an awsome mommy! I can't imagine anyone being as good of a mommy as you.

I say go for it....


*edited to add: If you do go for it, I can live vicariously through you since I can't have anymore.... If you don't do it for you or hubby, do it for meeeeeeeeeeeee..... LMBO

Thank you so much! I cant believe that it has been that long! I feel as though I know you guys better than my own family. You areone of the strongest people I know cause of all the things you had gone thru with Kelly.As a result, Kelly has turned into such a beautiful little princess!
Hopefully Ross does have the bub itch and says what the hell, lets do it!

sorry i am a little late to the game here but i agree with mrsh. i think that you would do wonderful with 5 children. and like you said the longer he puts off getting snipped the longer you have to work on getting him to change his mind. i told ben that i want another one and he said that one is good enough so i told him that i was going to steal his sperm lol!!!!! seriously i would love to have 3 kids but i think we have agreed on two. who knows we will just have to see what happens cause who knows i could have twins the next time lol!!! that would teach him to tell me not 3 babies hahhaha. anyhow i say go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
