""What do you mean, you can't afford more than two children?"

LOL! When I was growing up, I thought 7 kids was a MEDIUM-sized family! In our parish, many families had more than 10 kids. And it was normal.

I grew up around mostly small families, so I understand people's being a bit shocked at our eight - my parents are rather stuned, too :-).

I know there are lots of reasons why people might have only a couple of children, and it's none of my business unless they make it my business, by expecting me to believe in the "can't afford more" line! Do they think we're Rockefellers, or something?
