I have a 10 month old, 18 month old & 36 month old (and I am 6 weeks pregnant). AMA

I don't see what the big deal is? I had the same spacing (and add in a twin girl pregnancy at the end) so I had 5 children. I did have help.

I also had 5 kids under 7 when I was 33. We made it work just fine. The school years were non stop!

You just asked.

You’re right. Maybe I should change their names from Model A, Model B & Model C to something else?

Do you either of you come from a wealthy family and thus have a financial trampoline? Having financial support or knowing you are getting a chunk of change at some point certainly makes things easier!

Thankfully my wife has a very stable job and is a high earner. I work a few nights a week to keep my license and for extra cash (IRA, vacations) and so I can have a life outside of my kids.

My wife comes from nothing (single mom with lots of kids) but worked her ass off to get where she’s at. I came from an upper middle class family. My parents did help me through college and I am very thankful for that and know that’s a huge privilege. We do not get any financial help from family but my MIL helps us often (she lives in our guest house). So another privilege.

We would not have this many kids if we couldn’t afford them. I am an only child and my wife is one of 7. We met in the middle with four kids.

Why not refer to your 3 year old as a 3 year old?

Is your name Lassie, girl?

nobody cares about your abusive husband with a breeding kink

Why don't you use birth control?

Because it's a lesbian couple using IVF.

Why are you so thirsty for attention??

[Anonymous]

Lesbians like to fill all the uteri! Flex on the fact that they can buy sperm and don't need men.

But also, super high divorce rate, so I'd like an AMA when the frenzied breeding is over and you are fighting over the talking stick in your sharing circle with your litter of cubs ten years from now. I mean, I hope it works, but your optimism is AGRESSIVE.

Why didn't you just adopt?

I was thinking the exact same thing!

This site has a very very weird reaction to big families and pregnancies approaching 40. Everywhere else on earth, this is fine.
