How many kids do you consider to be a large family?

TriciaChick · August 2012

I feel like we are busting at the seams already with 3...(although welcome this little surprise with open arms!) Just wondering what everyone's idea of a large family is.

synchrosally · August 2012

I think 4 kids or more is a large family.

tarebear9891 · August 2012

We want 34. If we had a large income we would probably want more like 56.

EDIT: that should say 3 TO 4 and 5 TO 6. Geez the bump wants me to go for a record.

TriciaChick · August 2012

LOL wow Tarebear you are ambitious!

TriciaChick · August 2012

LOL ok just read the edit!

5 kids. My grandparents had 10, though, so that may be why I chose more than most people. I'm used to a crowd as is it, so 5 is not huge, but it's more than I feel like I could handle.

ATMmom324 · August 2012

I think 4 or more is large. Anytime you need special vehicles to travel it scares me.

MamatoA2010 · August 2012

I would consider 4 or more kids to be a large family.

laurakaz13 · August 2012

4 kids is a HUGE family in my opinion.

PeonyPumps · August 2012

5. I want as many as we can have. We'll see how many DH agrees to.

penguingrrl · August 2012

I think of 2-3 as average, 4 as borderline, 5+ as big

ShellShockedMama · August 2012

3 and up, because the thought of more than 2 kids gives me a panic attack.

ETA mtherfckingbump doesn't let you use symbols like the plus sign when using this ridiculous mobile site. I hate the bump.

My idea of a large family is 8+ kids, but I have 5 myself, and feel that 6 would be a great size for our family (more if I was able to SAH full time). I don't think of our family as "large" but I know many people would.

HA... I was like holyshitonastick... that's a huge jump for a larger income.
I originally wanted 4. Realistically we'll probably have 3. If we had boatloads of money, I'd totally have 5 or 6.
I do consider more than 4 to be a large family.

This exactly.

madamsmurfette · August 2012

4 or more.

MrsSR · August 2012

4 kids for me... I think 3 is too much too, but not too bad.

missmolly511 · August 2012

Having come from a large family, I wouldn't consider a family "large" until there were more than 5 or six kids.

shortstuff15 · August 2012

I certainly don't consider 4 kids to be a big family, but that may be because I came from a family of 4 kids and 3 or 4 kids is average here. In fact we want 6 kids and most people probably won't even bat an eye at that. I consider 7+ to be a large family.

FrickandFrack · August 2012

4

Amaryllis619 · August 2012

i think 5 or 6+ kids is a large family.

of course I have three sisters myself, and DH is one of ten kids... so we might have skewed perceptions on what's considered "large". I know most people think four kids are considered alot.

3 or more. Once the kids outnumber the parents.

Amen sister. When I am on my own with the kids at this point, I'm toast-really. I've become the big, bad mama bear that I didn't want to be. : )

MommaG123 · August 2012

I would say 4+.

I want 4 but realistically we will probably stop at 3.

hmp1 · August 2012

4+ kids

gimmietimmies · August 2012

Anyone with more kids than me.

LOL!

I guess 5+ kids seems like a lot. IDK. Never wanted a huge azz fam, though.

Venus04d · August 2012

Camp 4+

Lol, I didn't either, at first. I have friends with larger families than is, and it seems scary to me! Whatever works, right! Wink

5. Or whatever number where a minivan doesn't satisfy your transportation needs.

MJHershey · August 2012

Probably 4 or more kids.

kllrbnny · August 2012

When this baby comes & my stepdaughter is with us we'll be 4. I think that's big but totally doable. More than that seems like it would be too much. There was a time when I thought 4 was way too much too though so who knows!
