I love being pregnant and I love having newborns. I have had 4 children and as much as I would love more, I can only spread myself so thin. 4 children is where I feel comfortable, knowing I can give each the attention they need. I know people with 6/7 children who cope very well and they have great family lives. But I do not believe for one second that she can give each child the attention they need each day. How do her and noel help each with reading everyday? How do they help with homework? (I know all are at different ages, but she still has a good 12/13 who will need help) And then quality time? All whist doing home chores? Only 3 of mine are school age, and home work and reading takes me from 3.30 to 4.30, then I cook tea, clean up by 6, then bath and pj by 6.30 then family time till 7.15 then bed. And that can sometimes feel so rushed so how does they do it all, without fully relying on the older children? Who didn't ask to be parents?
My mum always told me and my siblings before we had kids she would mind our children as a gran, but she would never raise them as they were our responsibility. Sue and noel have forced all this responsibility onto children who never asked for it imo and it's sad
