So you’re just popping out kids to create future playmates? This is why I assume families with 4+ children are either religious nutters or profoundly unintelligent.

Usually the oldest raises the younger ones.

Not true.

We have 4. Four. Not a dozen. Everyone we know with 4 kids had them fairly close in age, so there’s no way for the oldest to raise the younger ones.

And, like others have already said, the 4th one is often a surprise due to unprotected sex—not religion.

The happiest most sexually active couples I know have 4 kids...and advanced degrees with well paying jobs.

Lol. Do you trade notes about the number of orgasms by family size? My childless cousin and her H are swingers, so I'm not so sure about your claim. That's why statements like yours are so stupid.

Literally every mom of 4 or more has shared the last baby was a surprise after a week of fabulous sex. It’s not that easy to get pregnant when you’re older. It’s usually the result of regular sex.

I’m a mom of 4 btw. And I think the comments about people like us being stupid, poor, and/or religious nuts are just plain wrong.

I think so.

Plus, narcissism.

+1. They think they are such wonderful parents or the children they raise are just so fantastic there should be more of them. Also these families seem really into dressing the the kids like dolls and having lots of professional photos taken. Big social media presence, etc. It’s all just “look at us!”

How dare they have family photos and be proud of them! For shame.
I can’t even with this thread.
