That’s a big assumption on many parts

Are you both women? I knew a couple who did this - they'd get pregnant around the same time and had a bunch of kids really fast. They seemed really happy.

Congrats! I always wanted 4 kids but had to stop at 2.

Yes. We had our egg retrievals at 35 & 37 years old. Between 3 retrievals we had 6 normal embryos.

By the grace of G-d or pure luck or whatever you believe in our first 4 embryos took and we had our kids 9-10 months apart.

We are 38 & 40 right now.

Why didn't you explain that you were two women each birthing two children in your original post?

No. 38. This is our last one. Also I’ve only given birth to one this is my second pregnancy.

You hired surrogates? BS troll.

Yes, there are zero other ways a woman could have a child without birthing it!

Do you have any help at home?

My wife works 3 10 hour days a week in her office. Two days a week at home.

I work 1-2 nights a week (I am a nurse).

We have a full time nanny and my MIL helps a lot too.

Ignore the haters. There are and have been lots of successful large families.

The unsuccessful ones have some combo of low IQ, poverty, mental health issues.

But if you're smart, rich, and not crazy, you guys are gonna have a great time.

I am. I have 5 kids, ages baby through 17. Oldest at boarding school and loves it. Things are good.

Yes we have a full time nanny. I have a wife who carried our oldest and third child. All incredibly planned 9 months apart via RIVF.

Also are yours going to be in the same grade at school and how will you handle that?

Can’t compare. It is very hard having them on different schedules with different interests.

Yes but someone will always be failing math.

Do you or will you have help? Do you have a partner? Any of them adopted? Are these all planned?

Nah you'll be deep in perimenopause insomnia he$$ plus assuming at least one of your kids is trying to run away or somewhere you don't know at any given time and you can't sleep.
