[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money is the key. I grew up with 8 kids in my family. Dreadful. Not enough attention, connection to parents. Had to pay own college tuition. Bus to local state u. Still have PTSD. Unless you are super rich, please do not do.[/quote]
+1 of 8. Also don't do this if you are dysfunctional, are an alcoholic or have a shitty marriage. Complex ptsd here and have to pay $$$ for twice a week therapy.[/quote]

+1 of 9. I’ve had YEARS of therapy and actually the one thing that is so taboo and painful is talking about how very neglected I felt as a child. It’s something hard to understand if you haven’t lived it. [/quote]

If it makes you feel any better, even absent addiction or a bad marriage, I've yet to meet anyone from a family of 8-9+ where every child thinks that was a great upbringing where they got sufficient attention and wants to replicate it in their own family (there are probably some right wing fundamentalists who replicate that family dynamic, but I am talking about healthy people). It's just too many kids. I think maybe 5 is the absolute max? 8, 9, 10, 14, 16....madness. No way they walk away without damage. [/quote]
