I have 8 kids, ask me anything!

[Anonymous]

I would love 6 kids, maybe not 8 though, but I think its great. I dont get 1) why people care and 2) why people are so hateful. It has NOTHING to do with their lives.

We have neighbors who just had their 13th kid. Its a lot and their lives are hectic and house is too small, but they all seem happy and love each other very much.

As for the kids getting enough attention or needing to help with younger kids, there are plenty of families with 2 kids whose parents dont give them enough attention or older siblings of one who do lots of work. Large families just have more people to love them, support them, and take care of them. I cant understand the need to criticize.

why?

It took two seconds to find a Duggar wanna be family that basically illustrates how I see OP.

A narrow minded person.

Are you a great mother? Hmm

most definitely

With two, it's easy to have enough time to spend with each one - as a working mom, too!

Plus, I'd rather not have a vagina that can swallow a watermelon whole.

I also have two but I respect others' choices.

That's nice.

You are exactly who everyone was talking about in the "Why is DCUM so negative" thread.

negative?

whatever you wish to think, sweetie - as you are no one to me but a poster with no face

I am just practical. Practical people think about their children's futures, don't rely on family money (b/c I think that's the case), and carve out time for themselves - which isn't always defined as 30 minutes of daily exercise.

Agree. The person who posted the photo of the unknown family is probably the person who is being rude throughout. She says she's a good mother but I just don't know if someone so nasty can be a good example to their children.

Life would be too demanding if you had a real career and 8 kids. Your writing style also made me wonder about your educational background because you do not write like someone who has any type of advanced education. You don't write poorly - you just write as though you have the equivalent of a high school education or less than that. You probably also speak this way as well. You probably do not realize you come across this way because you do not have a frame of reference from which to evaluate yourself. I am also sure that other people have these same thoughts when they meet you for the first time and you tell them you have eight kids and they ask you where you went to college and you say you did not go. Nonetheless, you are very blessed to have eight children and lucky that you married someone who makes what he does. You have secured your future because if you ever get divorced you will be well taken care of via child support payments. This might sound snarky and am sorry if it does but these are my immediate thoughts and honestly, probably the thoughts of many others.

And your advanced degrees were clearly a waste of time and money. Either you are just naturally rude and lacking in critical thinking skills (hence the inability to understand any lifestyle other than your own) or you are purposely being snarky. OP's writing is ENTIRELY appropriate for an anonymous forum. It's clear that you are jealous of OP for having lots of family and financial resources while you believe you had to work for them. I wonder what your children would think of you if they read this one day.

Of course I'm no one to you - silly! I wasn't trying to hurt your little feelings.

Agree. This is the same boorish poster over and over again. Poor person!

At least she admits she's narrow minded - but that personality defect is offset by her narrow vaginal entry.

Ha! If that is true, the OP went to a better high school than mine! Most of our teachers could barely write a decent sentence.

To the grammar police: This thread was not entitled "I am a grammar expert. Ask me anything." Or "I consider myself an excellent writer."
Who cares? Drop it already and go back to your Strunk & White. The OP isn't hurting you.

I don't understand this need to defend a woman with 8 kids.

In this modern age, where women SHOULD feel responsible for being role models for their children, what is special about returning to the agricultural age where it was necessary to have multiple children to keep the family business afloat?

I am appalled at the number of women coming to OP's defense. It's obvious that OP feels inadequate, or she would not feel the need to find validation in her decision to create a small country in our own backyard.

Women surround themselves with so many children are filling a void. There is such a thing as pregnancy addiction:

Keith Ablow, M.D., a Boston psychiatrist, maintains that women who are obsessed with being pregnant, often have underlying problems and they are often insecure. Dr. Ablow further asserted that they have the need to continuously get pregnant because of deep emotional and psychological issues i.e. whether it is dependency needs, the need for attention and adoration, and to avoid certain problems that they have.

Such ninnies on this board! I've said it before - For as smart as so many of you claim to be, it doesn't show in your posts.

At least I'm a fan of being level headed.

Wow, a new low: if you have a big family you have "deep emotional and psychological issues" and are clearly uneducated. If you happen to like big families or simply approve of them, then you are a ninny and dumb.
I guess that makes me crazy, stupid, a nincompoop and my education lacking.

Disregard the wackos OP, congrats on your family.
