Big Families
I cannot help but thinking how selfish they are being. I get having 1 or 2 kids but the planet is overpopulated, polluted, we have huge unemployment, a housing problem, low salaries. Nobody should have too many kids. It reduces the chances of the kids of having a good future.Big Families
Lucky kids! They have someone to play with! We had six kids in our farm family - did not live in town so rarely saw anyone from school between last day of school and first day of next school year. We (I) would have been so miserable/lonely without others to play with. My now husband had very much older siblings so he was basically an only child - also on a farm with no interaction with other kids. He has none of the memories I have of fun with brothers and sisters. Poor guy!Big Families

I think to myself "aww that looks like our family when I was younger!" I'm a teen but I rarely see large families with kids my age. But the age gaps in the families I do see/meet are similar to my family so it really does look like I time traveled sometimes 😂 Also I hate the assumption that large families are automatically Mormon. No hate on LDS, but we are not and a lot of others aren't either

Big Families
Glad it’s not me- my mom is the youngest of 3, my dad was the youngest of 5, and my sister has 3 kids. Husband and I are glad to have none!Big Families

I feel like I always have to remember all the names and faces of my big family. On my mother’s side, it’s easy but on my dad’s side it’s tough because there’s a lot of people and they also test me like that. However, my mom doesn’t have to do all those things.Big Families
