[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a family of 4 kids and it was too many. My mom’s side was large (she was one of 5) and her mother was the youngest of 13. I stopped at 2 kids because I knew it was my limit for the type of parent I wanted to be and the relationship I wanted to have with my kids. My mom lived in survival mode and didn’t really know how to have a real relationship with any of us. My family and extended family have SO much dysfunction - mental health issues, alcoholism, criminals, estrangement (often over money), kids with disabilities, poverty, lack of education, victim mentality. Somehow all the granddaughters (I was one of four) got educated and got out while none of 6 grandsons even graduated from college. Large families are overrated! [/quote]
