Squidgirl - welcome aboard

Welcome nack you MIA's... anyone else out there????

I have just had my stepson arrive from NZ today (he's 19) to stay with us indefinitly so that takes us up to 8 kids at home now. I want to put up a NO VACANY sign up our house is bursting at the seams.

How big are your houses and how do you fit all the kids in? I have a 4 bedroom house withthe baby in with us then the 2 girls together, the 2,4 and 8 yo boys together and then the 19 and 15 yo sharing. We have 3 sets of king single bunks, 1 single bed and a cot. Don't know where I will put baby when he needs a bed!!! I guess we will have to keep stacking them! No one gets their own room and even I have to share ...I suppose that is why we keep on having more kids!

haha your funny. I have a 2 bed home with 2 sun rooms the 10 year old has her own room and baby too whist the 3 and 7 share. Good point you made about bursting at the seams i was wanting more kids but i know how hard it is when renting no one wants ya. the fact finding rentals is so hard with 4 kids i couldn't imagine 8. Well done. I would like more kids but fear i wont ever get a another rental property to rent. this is changing my opinion on having more kids. were all yours vaginal births or c sections? if you dont mind me asking.
