[quote=Anonymous]Sorry if people stare. I am impressed. I’m in the suburbs of DC so naturally I think bigger families gravitate here. Our homes all have 5 bedrooms and often another in the basement too. Every single house on my culdesac has 3 kids. 2 houses have 4. The house one street over has 7 and I’ve heard of a family with 9 in our HOA (How?!?). All of these families seem so functional and nice. Growing up my mom’s extended family (her aunt and uncles each had 5-8 kids) had lots of kids. And soooo many of them were dysfunctional and alcoholics. That’s what scares people off from having big families. And the money too. I think people stare at anything over 3. 3 kids seems so common and did give us the “big family feel” dh and I wanted. Our kids will have no cousins but have 4 very involved grandparents. I think a big family is nice. Enjoy your family. [/quote]
