People with more than 3 kids

Question

if you have more than 3 children, do you like it?

what are their names and ages?

what is good/bad?

are they close?

Answer 1

I have 4. And I love it. I grew up with 6 brothers and sisters so it was always important to me that I have a big family. It's always more fun with more kids.

I have two sets of boy-girl twins. [plus were expecting quads]

Kirk Michael and Jordyn Ashley are 9.

Craig Dillon and Blake Rylie are 8.

The good thing about having so many kids is that, like I said, everything is more fun. I love seeing all my kids jupming in the pool, playing at the park, riding their bikes together, and having snow fights with eachother, its amazing to know that all of them are mine.. Sometimes it can be hectic. They go to private school, 20 miles away from our house, so they have to get up extra early and it can be hard getting them ready for school. And sometimes it's difficult to take them out to dinner or to the mall etc, because there is so many of them. Not so much anymore but when they were 6 and 7..

And yes, all of them are close. There are times when they are mad with each other, but it's just the normal sibling rivalry stuff. They get along great for the most part. I am so blessed.

Answer 2

I only have one child. (We wanted more, but I wasnt able to have any more.)  However, I dont think I would have wanted more than 3 or 4 just because I think it would be hard to give each child alot of one on one time, which I think is important.

I DO wish we had more than one though just because it would be so nice to have built in play mates and it feels like we arent complete somehow. I had 2 siblings and we fought alot but I always had someone to talk to too. With one child, they get very lonely.

But, I think God has reasons for everything and gives everyone what they are suppossed to have. (I ended up gettting very sick and if we had more it would have been very hard with my illness.)

Answer 3

we have 7

the good

there is always someone to talk to play with even argue with

they stand up for each other and have learned problem solving skills an only could not learn as easily

we spend more time than money doing family things the kids enjoy camping fishing hiking

the bad

money is always tight no matter how much you make

laundry is never ever done

they mostly do not get enough one on one time

Answer 4

I have 4 in all - not really kids anymore though - they are all close but very different in their ways.

Simone aged 41 married with 3 of her own

Elaine   aged 38 two of her own with ex

Ashley  aged 25 married with 1 child

Matthew aged 21 at university

love them all to bits - the last two I bought up as a divorced parent and actually although hard work it was more rewarding  

Answer 5

i have 4 kids

emily 16

conor 12

twins matthew and eoghan (owen) 5 months

good points : a great gap of 12 years, potential help around the house (yeah right) from the older ones, seeing the older ones getting pleasure from the antics of the babies

bad points : having babies and teens in the same house is a nightmare sometimes, constant noise and mess from both groups, starting all over again.

Answer 6

I have 6 boys Andy 16, Ryan 15,Jono 13, Matt 11,Owen 5,Zack 5months i love have a big family never wanted a girl they can fight but that happen in all size family's great when we go aboard and watch the rugby at Warrington Wolves down fall is you need a big car lol.

Answer 7

i dont have more than 3 kids but my mum does its my brother 20 me 17 my little brother 15 and my baby brother 3 we are close we argue but were close we would do anythin for 1 and the othere x

Answer 8

I have 5 children - Liam (19), Jacob (16), Matt (15), Rebecca (7) and Sophie (3). I love having them all, that's why I planned on having that many. They're all extremely close, my eldest looks out for the others as well. I also like the age gap I have between eldest and youngest, also planned. They say 'I love you' to each other all the time.

I can't say there's much bad about it, I love it!  

Answer 9

I have 3 step children (full time) and a son of my own. They are aged 25, 21, 19 and 9

The house can fill up with friends/boyfriends/girlfriends who don't leave when you want to go to sleep! They are all close. One downside is not having a car big enough for all of us. Another downside is college fees and cooking for 8 not to mention the amount of laundry. The good parts is never being lonely and always having someone to talk too and being proud of them all
