can you afford to feed them, cloth them, shelter them without over extending yourselves and having a large balance on your credit cards? If yes to all, then no, you arn't crazy. If however you rely on others, the state, credit cards to provide basic needs to your family, then yes, you are crazy and should perhaps take a little break. Just my 2 cents though, i'm sure others may disagree

we have no cc's dont rely on the state for anything we pay for EVERYTHING us and our kids have! We pay all the bills! we dont get much for ourselves but we dont mind!

God will provide. We decided a long time ago to let Him choose when they would come and how many we would have. #3 is on the way and though mine are not as close as yours I wouldn't mind one bit if they were.

If you can afford it, go for it. We're having as many kids as we can afford and my body can handle. After 5 kids in 6.5 years, my body is done. Could we afford more, yes, but physically I can't go through another pregnancy.

**mom2manypink** · 01-12-2010, 08:41 AM

i would like to try to find some people in our area to become friends with but i cant find anyone that dont think we are crazy lol

I wish I would have started earlier and had my children a little closer together because my body can't take another pregnancy and I don't want to be too old while raising teens. I will have had 5 in 10 1/2 years- I know I could have had them closer but as it was I've nursed during pg and tandem nursed so I liked each having their "babyhood" before the next arrived.

well heck yeah then! If you can mentally handel them all, sounds like y'all are in a great position to love and provide for them.

try meetup.com for local playgroups

I've had great luck finding great friends that way
