Theoretically, I have a few more seats to fill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biggest-family-you-know#post-948934 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:35:50 +0000 mrsjazz 948934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone in my peer group with more than 3 children.

And I'm 32. Most of our friends didn't start having kids until the last year or two and are on their first. Northeast cities tend to have older than the national average first time moms and fewer kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biggest-family-you-know#post-948897 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:08:23 +0000 runsyellowlites 948897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: Yea..
