What the number of children you have say about you?

You = asshat.

What is an asshat? I agree with the PP. If a couple has more than 2-3 kids, they remind me of rats and cockroaches.[/quote]

Asshats - Asshole (or arsehole in British English and Australian English) is slang for the anus and is often used as an insult. ...

(slang) one who wears their ass as a hat, ie has their head up their ass 3

fucktard (plural fucktards)

(pejorative, slang, vulgar) An extraordinarily stupid person, especially one that causes harm.
Ex. That fucktard actually said that people with large families reminded her of cockroaches and rats.

Seriously? So if you saw a family out somewhere and they had, say, a cute little 5-yr old and adorable twin toddlers, your immediate reaction would be "they remind me of rats and cockroaches?" If so, something is definitely wrong with you.

What if the twin toddlers weren't adorable, and the 5-year old wasn't cute?

ironically, while we have 3 kids 3 and under we most definitely are infertile or at least fertility challenged. We've done IVF for each pregnancy after TTC naturally for 1-2 years each time. So appearances can be very deceiving!

You math does make sense,

I think it makes sense: IVF for baby #1, wait two years then IVF for pregnancy #2 and it was twins. Maybe there was an earlier one that didn't make it.

bingo!

At least we can take comfort in the fact that this poster is only saddling the world with one copy of her DNA!

Amen to that!

Let's not forget spousal compromise... I wanted 3, but dh won't agree to 1 more.

We've had heart-to-heart and 2 it shall be.

I think ppl with 3 or more kids of same gender were trying for other gender.

My one/only tells the world that I don't like being a mother as much as I thought I would, and I also don't get any help from my spouse.

I agree with this, only because every family we know with three kids kept trying for a specific gender (most were successful, btw!).

I have one. It tells others that I have no family in the area and little help. DH and I get no help and our marriage has suffered b/c of it. It tells you that we both work FT and are barely hanging on as is.

Our one tells you that we would be financially tight with two. We would not be able to pay for DD's college with 2 (this is important to me).

Our one also tells you that I'm approaching advanced maternal age.

I'd love another but will only have one. Unfortunately.

I am from a family of five kids and we are about to have our fourth. I absolutely loved being part of a large family and wanted the same for my children. Does the very sad rat and cockroach poster want to go air that view *in person* in a country like Ireland? Even us friendly Irish might just kick you out to sea!! It would do the world a favour.

I have five and I think it says I must really, really enjoy my children.

And that you can afford to have five. I'd love to have five kids. I simply adore kids and can't get enough, but while my job allows me to be with them all day, it doesn't allow me to financially handle 5 of my own.

I think that too. A friend is expecting her fourth now and she's pretty open that they really want a boy this time! They will be great parents regardless though.

I am one of five too (Irish Catholic) and wanted to have at least four. I love my siblings and am close to them all. None of them are local but I am still able to call them and get all the emotional/moral support I need. I really wanted a lot of children and for them to have the same type of relationship with their siblings that I have with mine. I was heartbroken to have to stop at two. Having more could kill me and I need to be here for the children I already have.
