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!
