[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mom of 5 isn't the biological mom to all 5.  I think it's 2 who are her husband's kids, and she came into their lives when they were elementary school age, if I recall correctly.

I point this out because she uses the mom of 5 title as a bit of a cudgel and definitely as a measuring stick, but she is really a mom of 3 who married a dad of 2, and together they have 5.

I think there are (somewhat oddly) two moms of 5 who frequently post the fact that they have five kids on DCUM.

One is the biological mother if all five kids, still lives in the DC area (in NoVA) & has not worked outside the ho.e since her oldest was born.

The other is the stepmother of some of the kids, was a SAHM for several years but returned to work when her youngest was in middle school, & used to live in the DC area but has since moved to Florida (& stopped WOH due to the move).

Both have grown/almost grown children who apparently were never allowed to behave as horribly as most DCUM posters' kids are allowed to behave.[/quote]

Yes, there is more than one. One of them very specifically lists out her kids ages frequently and I don't think she is very kind to struggling new moms on DCUM. The other one has some that are step-kids. They share a certainty about parenting that I recognize, as a child of a big family myself.[/quote]

I am a third mom of 5.  I am relieved to say that I am not the first one (nor the second, but she seems to have a higher approval rating) above.  Every once in a blue moon I have signed as Mom of 5 when I think that a young mom is being too self-focused and not showing a wide enough perspective about the child or family dynamics; however, I will never again sign as Mom of 5 now that I've read about the first one.[/quote]
