You know you have a large family when...

  • ...your children feel sorry for families with only six or seven children.
  • ...people ask if you're competing with the Duggars.
  • ...even your friends aren't sure how many children you have.
  • ...your family no longer fits in a 15 passenger van.
  • ..complete strangers feel welcome to comment on your fertility and contraceptive methods.
  • ...two of your daughters go for a walk...and get asked by a neighbor if they're foster kids.
  • ...you have to carry three health insurance cards in your wallet- because that's how many it takes to fit everyone's name.
  • ...you take the wrong child to the dentist...simply because your handwriting on the calendar was messy and both started with a "j".
  • ...grocery shopping for 30 children and 12 adults for a two day camp constitutes a "small" shopping trip for you.
  • You find yourself relating some small incident to your husband and starting with the words, "Well, I only boiled twenty-six eggs for breakfast..."
  • ...you buy a 40 pound box of bananas intending to make banana bread and freeze a bunch for smoothies...but your children eat them all first.
  • ...you find an afternoon root canal relaxing.
  • ...it takes you twenty-three minutes on the phone to schedule your children's dental appointments.
  • ...you've given up on using your toaster entirely and make all of your toast under the broiler in you oven.
  • ...you are seriously tempted by the stacking cribs you see at Goodwill for $19.99.
  • ...you find yourself thinking, "Wow, the house is so quiet and peaceful with only nine children".
  • ...you have enough children to constitute not one, but TWO large families.
  • ...you have a laundry basket devoted entirely to lonely socks seeking their mate.
  • ...when you got to buy your children those cool "spin toothbrushes" because you think they get their teeth so much cleaner...but the store doesn't carry enough styles/colors for your children to each have a different toothbrush.
  • ...when you can't take all of your children to the doctor's office at the same time because the waiting room has only 10 seats.
  • ...when you still have seven children that are required by law to sit in a carseat or booster seat.
  • ...you call the doctor to get your children tetnus shots, and they tell you they don't have enough in the office and need to order more from the health department.
  • ...you take up more than one entire pew in church.
  • ...you take only half of your children to the library, and STILL get asked if they're all yours.
  • ...you go to fill your children's flouride prescription at the phamacy and you clean them out of every pill they have...and it's still not enough.
  • ...you spend sixty dollars on socks...and not everyone gets new socks.
  • ...you go shopping at Costco and the cashier asks if you're having a soccer barbecue.
