I am very angry and upset at the moment, I have 5 boys and am due in March with my 6th child.
I told my mum and sister yesterday and they were both disgusted and horrified, especially my sister. My mum said she is not telling my dad as the news would kill him.
My mum also said what are you thinking, having so many children in this day and age it is ridiculous.But if she had her way, I wouldn't have had the last 2 boys as she wanted me to stop at 3.
My sister wanted an explanation as to why we were having another one and then went on to very loudly verbalise her dissaproval whilst I was having a birthday party for my 6 year old son with my friends and school mums there. How embarrassing. S he also said how dissappointed she was with me for having another baby and that she had every right to have an opinion. I knew they weren't going to be happy but they took this news worse than I thought.
It is not like they have a lot to do with my children, they live an hour away and my 2 younger ones barely know them. They don't help out financially,or in any way.
DH and I look after our children and do everything ourselves, we don't rely on other people to help us out but if we do need a hand it is always my MIL who is there.
Thank goodness we have DH's family and they took the news well.

How have people,family taken your news that you are having more than the expected 2-3 children?
