Guys,
Don't worry. Of course it hurt and it will forever more but I have so many issues with my father, it's not funny and in the end, I decided it didn't matter what he thought.
Sadly, he passed away in March this year, so I don't have to worry about what he thinks anymore. I am free from his judgements.
I just hug my kids a little tighter.
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

Firstly I just want to say how wonderful all of you busy mums are! I cannot believe people THINK it is their right to be so judgemental!
I must admit that I was one that always wondered why on earth you would have any more than 2 children in this day and age, but after having DS 2, I know I am absolutely not ready to stop having babies, and I seriously doubt that I will be after a third as well!
My DH and I have already decided that we will definately have NO 3 and he says if we have 3, we have 4! We are both from families with 4 kids, so we know what it is like to grow up in largeer families too, and both of our families still all get together regularly for dinners etc, so Tiff, you are absolutely right, Xmas and birthdays would be so much fun with so many people to share it with, and I think in about 50 years time there will be lots of very lonely people who did put money and career first at the expense of their families!
Thankyou all for being an inspiration and letting people like me know that it is possible to have lots of kids and still be happy!
myself being pregnant with twins and having 4 children already knows what its like to listen to ppl freely express there opinions but u know what i told everyone straight away if u dont like it u know where to go as i dont want ur negative vibes around but that has only been to my mother really shes never really had to be a mum to me since i was 16 and had no other children and thinks shes above anyone else that doesnt work and actually have real problems when i preggers with my 4th she just about had me screaming every visit with her comments about birth control and oh u cant do that thats right ur having another baby she was degrading me in front of my in laws thinking it was oh so funny in her lil mind.... so this time soon as i found out at 7 weeks i said i dont want anyone around me thats freaking negative and u can stick ur comments up ur behind dont bother coming over anymore. so its been a lot better as she knows as well i didnt fall pregnant on purpose it was a massive surprise for all. my in laws are a ok and supportive as they had 6 children themselves she just keeps reminding that i will just have to get more help and there isnt much rest involved and there will be no more sleep ins haha she told me this after 3 babies. i am lucky my oldest are 9 and 7 cause there great helpers and to get back to the story .... as much as it hurts about the comments just tell them to mind there own business and worry about there own backyards something to that effect ....

That's so terrible! Though I would never want more than 2 myself, I would never be angry at someone for having more kids. AS long as they are all provided for then it's really none of my business so why give someone a hard time (unless of course I'm required to babysit LOL only kidding)
