Weenie.

At typical family gatherings, we’ve got our 7 girls, one son-in-law, my parents, my bro, his wife, their 4 kids, my other brother, his wife and their 5 kids, my other brother, and my sister with her hubby and 3 kids. And sometimes, my sis-in-law’s family shows up– 3 extra kids, and 5 extra kid cousins.

5 kids is NOTHING.

I have survived like six kids in my care, but only for five hours. I reckon I aged about five months, so, by my quick math, you should be about 300 in two weeks time. SingleParentDads last blog post..My Son is a Compost Heap

OMG!! we have only one daughter (so far) and already she is fully capable of driving us crazy. I can't even begin to imagine how it would be with four girls. a father's diarys last blog post..Stranger Anxiety

I hate to laugh at your discomfort, but, I did. I do hope the days offer less post opps than you predict. I was lucky enough to have one of each, and had no desire to let the adults become outnumbered here. Remember to tread lightly on the floor, a tiara, tramped on, can cause trouble…

Too funny. I have to show my husband this post. We have three girls, so he's really outnumbered at home. What makes all of our busy, talkative girls seem even more "other" is that they're all blond, even though my husband and I have dark hair. Sometimes I find myself studying them like they're creatures I've never before encountered. I will say, though, that once you get used to parenting one gender, the other seems like a complete mystery. When my husband and I decided he should get a vasectomy, it was mostly for the usual reasons—we feel like our family is big enough. But there was a side reason: If I got pregnant, we could end up with a boy. And that would be strange. On a slightly different note, two weeks with five house guests is probably more insane than having four kids! Kristin T. (@kt_writes)s last blog post..Jesus scrapes wallpaper, too

Good luck with that. I think having even 1 house guest for two weeks would be challenging. Ds last blog post..Inspiration in the strangest of places

The most fun I had with children was flying 18 hours on a jet with 4 other adults with 6 babies, 4 toddlers and 6 3 year olds. My Mother, God bless her was an angel on the flight - no English spoken by any of the children. We taught kids how to tie their shoes, how to say Mama, Daddy and their new siblings names (from their new family books) we took care of tears and hyper, hyper activity....The worst guests on the plane were the drunken, realators who were headed to a convention in Seattle and they would not sit down, follow directions, or stop smoking....they also made a mess of the bathrooms....the children were terrified of them as were the stewards and stewardesses... IT will be okay and you will survive....and I am sure we will benefit in the humor... Patricias last blog post..There’s a place For Me

Yup - I've no clue how parents do it either. We have two boys (under the age of two) and it's total bedlam. I would have loved to have had a girl but there's literally NO WAY I'm having another child. Vasectomy is very possibly on the cards here.

You bloody great pansy. Get with it soft boy and start wearing the trousers you were issued with when your voice broke. Be a man, Jack. What sort of example are you setting for your son by locking yourself away but not before feeding him to his cousins? My two girls had their cousin here yesterday. All three of the girls are around the same age and have a riotous time. At one point the three came into the room together and I suggested to my sister-in-law that all they were missing was a cauldron. I'm not too sure it went down all that well, especially as I've made the same joke when my sister-in-law, my wife and their mother are sitting together.
