Would you have a baby even if it made your family mad?

Question

So our son is 6 months old & we want to have another baby soon. We’re going to try to wait closer to a year, but we really would like to have around 5 kids. We know that our family would be so mad if we decided to have another child. I’m 24 and he’s 22. 
We just really love being parents & would love to have more. A part of me doesn’t care if they get mad, but the thought of them being mad for no reason is upsetting.

Answer

If you don’t live with them then who cares. They’ll get over it and love the baby. And if they don’t, then that’s just messed up

Answer

If your family is not supporting you financially then do it! I'm sure they will be happy once baby is actually here.

Answer

There’s nothing wrong with big families or close gaps. They only way I would value their input is if they are helping y’all with finances, transportation, childcare, etc. If y’all are rocking on your own, just ignore their comments. 
I would strongly recommend waiting a little bit to get used to being together as a family first though. The baby stage is amazing and the easiest by far, but they don’t stay babies. It can get a little overwhelming sometimes when you go from your own people with just yourselves to think about to the parents of multiple children in a short amount of time. It’s a good kind of crazy, but no one ever told me about it.

Answer

My family were pissed when I moved out living with my hubby at 17 trying we had our own place waiting for It to be cleaned and when I found out I was pregnant they turned anger to happy quick 🤣🤣🤣

Answer

You didn’t put the most important details in. Do you live on your own. And do you pay for everything? If those two answers are yes then who cares it’s your family. If either of those answers are no you should not have any more children until you are independent of your families.

Answer

So you're willing to cater to other peoples happiness before yours? I think not! They'll come around.

Answer

I don’t think it’s any of their business.  You’re both adults.  If you want another go for it. ❤️

Answer

Honestly, I don’t care who gets mad lol I would have as many babies as I want. Your family isn’t pushing that baby out.  I have one son right now that’s 5 months & we want more. We’re not married either. I don’t know why people feel you have to be married to have kids. I don’t need a piece of paper telling my boyfriend how much I love him. He already knows I love him more than anything.
Me and him were trying to have a kid before we was even together. 
A month after I met him we started trying. 
We’ve been together for 2 years now. 🙃

Answer

I understand you have to do what is good for you but you have to be responsible too. Are you sure you can provide that many children? Are you able to pay all your own bills, have a big enough home and will you be able to provide the children with everything they need? Children aren't cheap.

Answer

Are you guys married? Just asking because maybe that’s one thing they are worried about. And at 22 & 24 you still have lots of time!!! I have 5 myself. Give your body some time to heal between each. It’s takes a lot from your body. And my boys are 11 months apart and we handled it (obviously they are 13 & 14 now lol) but twins would have been easier!!!!!!!!!!!
