[quote=Anonymous]I'm soon to be a mom of 5 living here in the DC area and I'll add my $0.02.

When I met my DH he was divorced with 1 child. I always wanted a large family and told him that. We now have 3 of our own and 1 on the way, so a total of 5 with his eldest being an adult.

We are not religious - I was raised Catholic and he was raised Baptist, we got married at an Episcopalian church and now attend a Wesleyan church. We want the kids to have an understanding of God and we pray with them (meals and night prayers) but that's about it.

We are not rich by DC standards but we are for other parts of the country. HHI is slightly over $350K. We own a rental property in the city and we live in the suburbs. We spend money on travel and that will go down slightly with the new addition but we send our kids to public school and supplement with private tutoring. We have decided that our children will go to community college and then transfer to a university to save on the cost of higher education. We have college funds but our priority is to max our retirement first.

Overall, we just love being parents. We love the baby cuddles, we get excited talking about the future with our older children, we look forward to babysitting our grandkids when the time comes. We are just in love with each other and with our family. [/quote]
