Should I?

YES - You should definitely TTC #8 right now as a 25 yr old mother who is just two weeks post partum (sorry, but your twins are NOT a month old- April 20th was 2 weeks ago). Likely your postpartum bleeding, which normally lasts 4-6 weeks for most people, is long gone for you and you're highly fertile now!! Hope you get pregnant real soon. If not, you can always adopt! I bet you can even find a baby who was born on April 20th just like your twins. You should have him or her home in a matter of days. Keep us posted!

I doubt this is a real scenario but rather a "troll". I do want to stick up for large families though. There's nothing wrong with having many children if that is what you and your husband want.

I strongly disagree. It would be ridiculous and selfish to have another child when you already have so many. Try adopting if you want to expand. Are you Trying to destroy the planet? The world is already over populated as is.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with that. I think there are many, many things that will destroy the planet before overpopulation will. I believe a couple should be entitled to have as many children as they can manage, so long as they are financially, physically, and emotionally stable enough to do so.

Crunchymama, your post made me laugh. Thank you for brightening up what has been a pretty miserable day!

you are welcome

I agree with strawberry. overpopulation is not our biggest problem in this world and it's not even a real issue in the United States where the birth rate is declining each year. Almost every large family I know is very environmentally responsible in that they tend to use more natural products, used items (instead of buying everything new), travel less/less carbon emissions, grow their own veggies (even if a small garden/quanity- or support local farmers), etc. I also do not know of any large families by choice (those couples who responsibly decide to increase their family not people who are faced with unexpected pregnancies, multiple baby daddies, etc) on welfare or using any public aid except maybe WIC, which many many people are eligible for and use even families with just one child.

Many people here know I'm a huge adoption advocate, but it's not for everyone. It's very time consuming, expensive, and intrusive (you must open your home and every aspect of your lives to social services so they can inspect you and approve you). It's not an option everyone can pursue. It's not as easy as most people think either. I'm glad there are many restrictions and steps in place to help make the best decisions for the children involved, but the procedures often don't favor the adoptive family at all.

Crunchymama... I freaking love you.

Don't have another child yet. Wait a year or so, get used to the idea of the children you have!

Answer: NO.

I am VERY used to trolls, being a 13-year old who goes on sites FULL of other teenagers that love to do things similar to this, so my best guess is that this is one. Once they are called out, they almost always stop posting, which is probably why they haven't responded to these messages.
Also, this sounds like an 8-10 year old to me. Most people in my grade have a much higher intelligence level and are beyond the point they want to play 'family'.

"I WAS so excited but now I want another one". Good to hear you at least loved your kids for a couple days. Guess that's what motherhood is all about.

LOL if this person was real my honest response would be to seek medical attention for mental health because if all you can think about is getting pregnant immediately after birth I suspect psychological issues. Love the children you have this is not an episode of baby hoarders.

I'm 13 and I wouldn't write like this! Trust me, this kid is probably 6-10 and not sure where babies come from yet!

[amberdaydream]

I'm 15. I wasn't like this when I was 14. I would say ages 8-11. No older than 12.

Anyway, (mom4) whoever you are, you are welcome to post opinions for names and develop lists on this site and we would be happy to help you out. As you can tell, Nameberry's got loads of teenagers and kids , but people really don't like being lied to so just be honest (unless you or your parents feel it would jeopardise your online security, in which case leave it out but don't make anything up.)

If you want to ask questions in the Momberries section about twins or kids for future reference then you are allowed to do so regardless of age, I'm sure the posters here who are mothers/fathers would be happy to answer any questions or share experiences about parenthood, birth, adoption, families, etc. as long as you're honest in return. You ARE allowed to post "Well, I'm only [10 years old / a kid / a teenager / whatever] but I was wondering if you have experienced...". It's absolutely fine.
