[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four who are now full grown.  We started young and unplanned but were committed to make it work.  DH worked hard and went on to a lucrative but stressful career, which he never really wanted.  I became a SAHM, which also was not in my plans.  We made good money and were smart with it.  Nice NOVA suburb in a house worth less than we could afford.  Kids attended top ranked publics, did well, and went on to VA's best state colleges.  No privates for us, but lots and lots of travel that built lasting memories and tight relationships.

Now it's all behind us (including the stressful job and the SAHM things) and in hindsight we wouldn't have had it any other way.  The child rearing years and everything that comes with it seems endless when you're in the middle of it all, but it's really pretty fleeting in the overall scheme of things.  And the payoff is huge.     [/quote]

Where did you travel with your big family? We have 4 and are considering the private school thing once the oldest hits middle... but I also want them to travel.[/quote]
