[quote=Anonymous]Five! 2 under 3 and the rest in elementary school. We both work FT demanding jobs. We have no family in the area. Just daycare, babysitters for date night, and some aftercare. We shift our schedules and one of us usually has to log back in after bedtime for a bit. It's hard and super awesome. When we ask for a table or book a reservation it shocks us that there are seven of us bc we truly have relationships with all of them as individuals (age appropriate), each other as a couple, and they do amongst themselves. When illness strikes it is BRUTAL. However, we can't figure out who we would delete :). On any specific day, sure, there's a strong contender. But by the next day, that kid is over whatever hump and is truly lovely while another hits a rough patch. It's crazy and fun. The laundry and dishes are unimaginable. We've outsourced cleaning and house repair. We are not rich but def might be if we had just two. Lol. Life is too damn short. Go for it! Oh, and in anticipation of the "you are probably making your oldest parent" - nope. One of our most common phrases is that there are only two parents and they need to focus on being kids. [/quote]
