Hello..

Ours are all close in age, 4 under 5..

Is there anyone else out there as mad as me lol!?!?!?

    Excuse me... but A) my hubby has now got a full time job back at where he worked before.. and B) My grandfather has just passed away and has kindly given me one of his properties to raise my family in...

    Surely that is none of your business though, I came on here to speak to people in the same boat as me, wanting the same thing as me not to be judged!!!!

    Wow pigpen, thank you for your reply.. 10.. wow you're an inspiration!! I have always wanted a big family, would you mind me asking how many bedrooms you have and what your age gaps are?? We've got a 4 bed and worrying about space lol!.. Even though I know they'll be really close!!

    Thanks so much for your reply.. Thats why I posted on here, not to be judged, but seems some people have nothing better to do!!

    Having done so well clearing your debts Pigpen, perhaps you could consider buying a TV :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Congratulations :D

    And to the OP - if you think you will be able to cope and can afford give the children all the love and support they will need emotionally and financially then go for it :T

    Mine are 19, 16, 15, 13, 12, 10, 8, 6 and 7.5 months, she will be about 14 months when this one arrives :eek:

    We have 5 bedrooms. DS1 has the middle reception room as his room at the moment, he moved home 2 months ago after splitting with his gf and living elsewhere for the last 3 years. DD1 (16) and DD2 (13) have their own rooms, DS2 (15) and DS3 (12) share and then DD3 (10), 4 (8) and 5 (6) share and the baby is still in with me and OH.
