Im finding this very interesting, my hubby works full time, not minimum wage but still a low income. i worked part time when we only had 2 but i couldnt manage working now i have 3 untill they are older so we couldnt manage without tax credits, which i am very grateful for getting. i just struggle to see how i personally would manage with any more, i already feel like all i do is sort out food, cleaning and washing all day its exhausing
i dont think any child should expect help from their parents for uni/buying a house/car/wedding it doesnt matter how many children you have we all parent different and have different beliefs. i may offer help towards those things when mine are older...but it would be help towards they would have to fund some theirselves too.
our parents payed for our wedding..my mum and dad are seperated so it was split 3 ways with my hubbys parents... and only cost £3000, if i wanted a more expensive wedding i would have payed the rest myselfHave a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T0 -
Cannot understand how anyone would want that many kids but then you cannot probably understand why I only want 1 (and think 2 or 3 is a sensible number to stop at).Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

My hubby and I are thinking about trying for number 5 later this year, we have 3 boys and a girl..
Ours are all close in age, 4 under 5..
Is there anyone else out there as mad as me lol!?!?!?
I have 5 children.4 boys and a girl.When my daughter was born the twins were just 4 (their birthdays were in the july as she was born in the sept).It was very hard work to begin with but the enjoyment and being so proud of them outweighs the hard work involved.The twins turn 18 this summer .Paul Walker , in my dreams;)0 -
Well as a pregnant 22 year old, the idea of having lots of children makes me warm and fuzzy. Except my boyfriend who I am determined already that I will marry only wants 2. Not on my watch.....I'll be having 4 I think. I'm the eldest of 4 and it isn't a problem, everyone has someone to play withMoney money money.
