I have 3 under 3, and i think i cope really well. My house is always clean, the bills are paid, there's always food on the table, and my children are always in nice clothes, and clean. Even though my youngest is 4 months old, i would like to start trying for another soon. (Anneliese took 6 months to concieve) I would like 6 children, i come from a family of 6 as well, and i loved it. I am 22.5 years old. I mentioned to my Grandmother IL today that we would evenually like another, and she goes "GOD i think you would've had enough by now, you cant afford any more." YES WE CAN!!! I learnt to be good with money from the best, my mum. But even she's a ***** when i say i want more, when i went over on holiday, she even bought me a pack on condoms and told me to learn how to use them. I am Bipolar, and i think the kids give me the strength i need to lead a normal life on minimal medication (regardless of how i feel, i will always have to take some sort of meds) I think i cop it twice as bad because not only am i going against when society sees as a "traditional" family (2-3 children) i also cop the sh*t for beign a young mum. I have a partner, house nice furniture and 3 beautiful, well adjusted children with a yearning for more. Why can people just mind their own business and let me live my life??

Thank you, ill hop off my soap box now...
