    - When your mother calls you one of your four sister's names instead of your own. My brother escaped that one, lol.
    - When your initials are sewn onto your underwear and clothes.
    - When hand-me downs last 2-3 children
    - When you have to share your bedroom with not just one sibling but 2
    - When there is a queue system for the bathroom - but exceptions are made for urgency
    - When you are never, ever even close to being on time for anything (because someone always needs to go to the toilet just before we go, etc).
    - When you start questioning why a family pass only includes two adults and two kids
    - I could easily go on...

    This is post is hilarious. Brings back many happy memories.

    OMG..yes, yes YES to it all!!!!!!!! What a crack up!!!!!

    I can relate to EVERYTHING on here, its so funny!!!

    * the look on peoples faces when I have 4 or 5 with me and say "lets go get the rest of the kids"... priceless....
    * "that will only feed 6, we cant get that!"
    * when people joke about not having a tele, and Adam tells them we just do it while watching it, its the only chance we get!!!
    * I have to buy a SEVEN bedroom, FIVE loungeroom house... CRAZY!!!
    * I tell people our 5 bed, 3 longe house is too small!!!
    * Start piling the kids in the bus, counting heads as they go in..

    When the only way you can afford christmas is to do it 'secret santa'!
    .. and you need to use the 6 months target layby to afford just your own family!

    When you have more kids than hours sleep per night.

    When you are considering listing your uterus for sale on Gumtree "Slightly used but very reliable - no refunds".

    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!
    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.
