    you are thinking about buying a trailer and its not for rubbish
    You completely look past the four bedroom houses in the real estate agents windows for five or more bedrooms

    Your friends and family call you RENT A CROWD so get invites to partys to boost numbers
    But not so many dinner invites!!!

    You need 3 medicare cards to fit everyones names on.

    Your shoe rack looks like a shoe store!

    You go thru a roll of toilet paper a day....
    is that all hahahah we go through 2 so I cracked it and now use reuseable toilet 'paper'

    You have to count heads to make sure everyone is still with you
    I do that all the time..1..2...3...4....ah and then the husband

    Your shoe rack looks like a shoe store!
    baaaahaaaaaaa yes yes and yes!!!! Wish they all still looked like they were new though

    You know your a large family when.....
    -People at the supermarket look at you funny when you put 6 x 3l bottle in the trolley and take the whole shelf off bread and put it on top of the trolley
    -when takeaway ends up costing almost the same as a 'normal' familys groceries for the week
    - quoted from J man
    there is more hair in the sink then on your head

    Every 2nd person you meet on the street feels the need to say "oh you've got your hands full"

    A trip to the shoe shop could fund a night in a posh hotel plus dinner plus champagne but you know those days are well in the past.

    You casually mention needing a babysitter and watch friends faces freeze in terror.

    When your parents make you sound off before driving anywhere, like you're in an army barracks!
    When the only icecream you buy your kids is a twinpole so you can split it in half and share it between two kids!
    When you tell one of your kids something and they say ' You've already told me that 4 TIMES MUM!' and you coulda sworn you'd been telling each child!

    I havent made it to 3 medicare cards yet, lol. 2 is bad enough.


    You know you are a large family when it takes 2 or more trolleys to do the weekly grocery shop and people ask you is that for a month lol. When your clean clothes piles are knee high for each person. When everyone you know asks are you going to stop having more kids lol
    I was thinking when your daily shopping costs the same as someones weekly shopping.

    and

    Is that your last?

    Ohh and when you have another bub, it isnt as exciting for your friends, its like Ohhh here they go again.

    I keep counting the seats remaining in my Tarago.

    Ohh and when you go through everyones name to get to the one you really want to talk to.
