my mother has had seven kids now my bro who is 17, me (15) my sis (11) my other sis (9) my lil twin bros (5) and my baby sis who is just six months old i know she wanted a big family but now she thinks she is pregnant again and its dumb cuz my bro is in his last year of high school! he'll be 18 in march! why cant she get fixed?
and she is dumb cuz she is always grounding me for skipping school mean while she ahd to drop out because she got pregnant and my dad had to work hard to try and support us luckily his parents were there to help they had money
but dad may have a good job and all but i just dont think he can afford all of us and college too and there might be another baby on the way? mom just told me like 5 minutes ago after yelling at me for skipping school again and sayin she doesn't need this
she finally found a good job too but they arent going to want to keep her if she keeps getting pregnant

no im not selfish and it is my business how many kids they choose to have because i have to live with it too and is it even normal for people these days to have that many kids? besides she is turning 41 and i heard pregnancy goes bad after 40 and they had decided after th twins no more but yet i have six month old sister and she might be prenant again!
and the financial is my business too

and what happens if they have too many kids too afford a roof over our heads and food in our mouths and no where to sleep? i have to share with my 11 yr old suster as it is and my 9 yr old sister has to share with the baby my bro gets his own room and the twins have room but where if she is pregnant where is the baby going to sleep?
my friends say i might have to get a job but if i get a job it won't be to help them out all the money will be mine only but i cant see myself getting a job when there are only fast food restaurants around
if there was something cool like a music store or a mall with lots of stores that need ppl in it it'd be great but my town sucks

How many children your parents choose to have is none of your business. And your mother doesn't want you to skip school because maybe she knows that you want something different in life than what she chose, and skipping school isn't going to get that for you. Thats just being a responsible parent. If she left school to raise a baby, thats a completely different thing than just screwing around and failing. And their financial status is not your business as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your stomach, and clothes on your back. You are a bit of a selfish one aren't you?

Hey Spanker,
You liked my answer to the spanking question, maybe you'll like this one too. You are in a tough situation, lots of kids, tight quarters, at the age when you are discovering new things about life in general if you know what I mean. Your parents are also in a tight situation, another mouth to feed, where's the money going to come from for another baby? College for how many kids??? This ain't an ABC Family movie, it's real life and it's tough. Talk with your mother, I know it isn't easy, she's a flawed as you are but won't admit it. If she thinks she has an ally in all this turmoil, she will give you more freedom than you ever thought possible. Don't trick her, be a friend as well as a daugther. She needs support and there is no one better right now than you. I was in your situation in school, I can help. Just listen and do the right thing.

If your mother and father are still in love after all these years, good for you. How lucky you are to have all those brothers and sisters.
Skipping school is a bad thing. Dropping out of school is a bad thing- I'm sure that it might be one of the biggest regrets in her life.
Look at your family in a different way. Please try not to think only about your feelings, but about how others might feel. Try to help your mom and dad more- all they ask of you is to go to school. Then maybe you won't end up dropping out, having babies to early.
If you are worried about college, find your own way to pay for your schooling. There are vocational schools, or financial aid. Talk to a career counselor at your school.

WOW, um, you act your age and it shows, your mother acts her age and it shows. Come back and ask this question when your say 26 and then we will see what YOUR thinking and your thoughts on this topic. I think you just need to grow up and dont worry about all the siblings you are going to have, focus on yourself succeeding in life and your mother will focus on being a mother as she has been.

I couldn't agree with what she said above more! You are being ridiculous...grow up! You need school...and quit bashing your parents. I am 16 and am ashamed of teens who talk like that. Quit giving us a bad name!

Buy your dad a family-size packet of condoms for his birthday.
