		<description>We deal with quite a few of the same issues, being a family of 6 so far.  It&#039;s often the older folks who really appreciate the blessing of the large family we have.  Our peers &amp; our parents generation, don&#039;t seem to appreciate it as much.  We&#039;re trading a lot of material things for these children but it&#039;s been worth it so far.

MrsH, I&#039;d encourage you to try a larger family.  You&#039;ll find the blessings keep increasing even though there is more work.  I&#039;m constantly amazed at each of the beautiful and unique personalities that are living under our roof and can&#039;t imagine life without them.</description>

		<description>Men, who are all these rude people coming up and making comments about others&#039; personal choices?  Sheesh.

I&#039;ve always wanted a big family but only have one baby right now.  I think we&#039;ll stop at conceiving two and maybe adopt a third.  I wanted seven before until the realities of a big family dawned on me.</description>
