Some of them are in their early thirties, so behave.

When we were growing up, the Pill had more side effects and was frowned upon by the church. I bet a lot of these large families back in the 60s and 70s would have limited their family size had they felt the freedom to do so. I think Mormon women today feel that freedom and are exercising it. Why are we limiting our family size? We've been married for 10 years. We have three children, but could easily have 5 or 6 or possibly more if we were not limiting ourselves as we obviously are. We waited to have our first so that I could finish school and we could have time together. Selfish? Sure. I actually got pregnant by surprise despite our best efforts to prevent. We were thrilled nonetheless. We waited almost four years to have another because my husband was still in school, I was working from home to support us while caring for our rambunctious son and I felt overwhelmed. Despite this, baby fever eventually hit me and I got pregnant again. It didn't take me as long to want a third one, but I don't know if we will have more after this. Why? A millions reasons, all are probably selfish and they include: 1. I freakin' hate being pregnant. I feel like my body never recovers and I end up more damaged with each one. 2. C-sections suck. Recovery's a bitch. I've had three and it doesn't get easier. I am scared every time. 3. I feel rather inadequate as a mother (I assume this is normal and most women feel this way) and so I sort of feel like adding more children will only make me a worse mother instead of a better mother. 4. I am tired.

I don't think Mike should go into pregnancy advocacy, but that's just me. Guilting you into it?

Tell him a snip is a cheaper way of having guilt-free unprotected sex.

Amen, brother.

I think it's "doing the dirty," but I looked it up in the urban dictionary and there it stands for all sorts of things that I am pretty sure Mike and Farrah don't do. Funny when a three-letter word gets shortened to a three-letter acronym.

Ok, I'm not going to even guess what that could be about. I thought you'd been on DAM long enough to know it's "do the deed" (with the intention of getting pregnant.)

Wow that makes it sound bad, instead good. That makes it sound like, "get it over with.."

And "doing the duty" sounds better?
