April 17, 200620 yr Could you imagine this: Having an XXL family with 10 children or more...having everything well organised and not being able to do things spontaneously? No time for hobbies?No time for being alone or to have quiet hours? Maybe only once a year? I couldn't.....I definitely couldn't! Surely i want to have children who I would love more than everything else.But i think there must be time for yourself,especially for me,I am a person who needs that! I watched this documentation about XXL families with my mum this evening,and i realised that I couldn't live like that!
April 17, 200620 yr That's my fear about having children, and why I never plan to. I couldn't imagine not being able to have a drink when I want to, go to a concert when I want to, doing the work hours that fit my life. I just can't live with structure, unless I'm the one structuring it (that's why I can't wait to graduate Shit School, I mean, High School!) I don't know why people have so many children. It's just unbelievably stupid to me.
April 17, 200620 yr i can imagine situations like these some centuries ago, now it happens rarely, you have a friend nowadays:
April 17, 200620 yr No! Eeeevery sperm is saaacred, every sperm is great! Wheeeen a sperm is waaasted, God gets quite iraaate!
April 17, 200620 yr structure sucks! especially considering that each child is an individual and you HAVE To make time for each one, or else they feel left out! that is crucial in raising children..time for each. And the best times i had with my pap and mam were those that were spontaneous (this, in the time they still had some love left for each other, much less me) and I wouldnt trade that for organization anyday! some time or another, that fall apart because, in the end,the childred will end up screwy
April 17, 200620 yr No! Eeeevery sperm is saaacred, every sperm is great! Wheeeen a sperm is waaasted, God gets quite iraaate! so true :o
April 17, 200620 yr every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good! every sperm is needed in your neighborhood!
April 18, 200620 yr I can easily imagine this situation... we're 4 brothers and 2 sisters, that makes it not far from 10... and all I can tell you is that it is simply great... we're very similar in most of particular things what makes it easier to make things together, like going to a restaurant, cinema, parties, football matches... we now want to go to a concert all together, the 6 of us...
April 18, 200620 yr I know a family with 8 kids- not quite 10 but close. The thing is, by the time the younger ones are born, the older ones are old enough to help out, so every one in the family pitches in and it's not so much of a strain on the parents. They still have time for thier own things too, and in a way they have it good, because no one ever get lonely like in small families.
April 18, 200620 yr that rhymes! It's a Monty Python song, from their movie Meaning Of Life.;) Check it out, it's brilliant LMFAO

April 19, 200620 yr My aunt and uncle have 4 girls. One girl's 10, while all the others are 4. Yep. They had triplets. Just for the record, my aunt's crazy. Katherine's the 10 year old and she's completely ignored by her family now. It's all about the triplets. Blah blah blah. It's absolutely horrible. So everytime we have a family party, I make a point of giving Katherine extra special attention. She's such a sweetheart in so many ways, but her parents don't see that because they're distracted by the three other girls and their problems. And now my aunt's going on about wanting another baby and they're getting a golden retriever puppy soon. God help them. I think people have mental problems where they get obsessional with their bodies, along with the need for children. Unbelievable...

I think Coldplay would be more unanimous... I mean, I'm sure we would go for Radiohead too, but if we had to choose it probably would be coldplay...
