My friend has three and has to go to the grocery store every other day to feed them.

The horror of feeding your family fresh food

There is something wrong in nearly all those huge instagram families. Whether it's as bad as abuse or neglect or extremist religious beliefs or lack of access to healthcare/education because your parents believe in not going to the Dr. (or can't afford it w/ so many kids), are antivax, homeschooling or unschooling or just garden variety big family chaos and not getting enough attention and not having enough money.

I am so curious about them. I can handle one on good days. I want to know what I’m missing that I can’t handle more than one. I need all the tips and tricks!

You'll find large families are much more efficient. I do a large Costco run every 3-4 weeks, then produce is either Harris Teeter pick up or one spouse stops sans kids on the way home from work. It's not rocket science. There are a lot of hard things about having kids. This is not one of them.

Not at all. Maybe you have shopping down, but my neighbor with kids is always at the ER for stitches or another concussion due to a fall because one of her many toddlers fell while not being watched well. And the kids are always standing around with her phone or some other device while she's nowhere to be found. But she just keeps having more and more kids to not watch over properly.

I have a friend with a family like this, she is a good mom and does as well as she can, but it's obvious they can't afford things like braces or any optional medical treatment, or anything other than at home haircuts. They struggle with money constantly, and live in a more affordable state.

Yo her credit, she hasn't shilled the kids out on Insta to try to make extra money that way.

My child psych professor in college said that more than 3 kids make it a daycare, not a family. She came from a big family.

A lot of women just see it as a ticket to never work again.

I’m one of four and had an idyllic childhood. I think it depends on resources. My parents are also highly educated. We all went to private school, did private music and sports lessons and whatever activities we wanted. We are all three years apart and my mon stayed home until youngest went to school so that probably helped.

The time to take a bow would be after all those kids are launched, after everyone gets into college or gets a good paying job after some kind of training program, or after they are all married and have a home, etc.

I remember when I had my three toddlers and I would dress everyone up nice and do their hair and be so proud -- there's just a heck of a long way to go when you are in that stage and no particular guarantee that you will succeed in overcoming the obstacles that you will likely encounter along the way.

Personally, I was sexually abused by a family friend and so was my husband and we all came from families with four kids or less. Unfortunately no one noticed that we were being abused. I would be really worried that if there were eight or nine kids (or more) that something horrific could happen along the way and no one would notice. There's no way that you could do all the due diligence that I like to do with my kids before I let them go on a campout or a sleep over or a school trip or whatever.

You have nothing better to respond with? I didn’t even indicate how often we go to the store and you said it’s too much LOL
