Large families unite!

Hi! Just wondering how many Toluna families are large families? We have six kids between us; I have four, my husband two. We are always struggling to make ends meet, but somehow God provides and we find ourselves making it! This is one reason I joined, to help get a few small items and fun things for the kids and myself, so I don't always have to feel guilty using family money for treats. I love my family and enjoy treating them from time to time. Who has a large family and how does Toluna fit into your family's life?

We have two - a son and a daughter. Would loved to have more but wasn't what was best for our family at the time. God had blessed my family. Toluna cash usually goes for gas or extra items.

I have a large family, however the children are grown, now in their 40's and 50's. Ours is also a "blended" family, he had 4, I had 5 and then we had 1 (not planned). This youngest child and the oldest son in the family were both killed in accidents 4 years apart. One was 10, the other 32.
Anyway, I can relate to the struggle to make ends meet. I was working and for a few years the child care person kept more of my pay check than I did. :) After many years of marriage our family is still in flux as far as relationships go, as is often the case in any family. We now have 25 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Makes for a houseful when we celebrate holidays and family occasions.

I have 4 children but feel lucky these days to live a comfortable life were we do not worry about money. We have no debt but what is left on our mortgage, which we should have paid off in 3 years.We are actually thinking about one more child. I say if you can provide for your children as you should in all areas(money,time,love) then I could care less how many you have or have not. I know large familes that are very happy,some that are not. On the other hand I know some families with 1 or 2 kids that are happy and I know some mothers who can hardly handle the one child that they have. Toluna is a fun pass time for me to do these topics and also take surveys. I love seeing new products before they hit the shelves and know that the company got my opinion. Of course the VIP pass gift cards are fun too!

I came to the conclusion many years ago, that Very Large Families are a thing of the past.
With so many men losing their Jobs, they find the family had Absolutely NOTHING to fall back on (the second income) and SO MANY Families have lost (not only their Income, but ALL their Savings And their HOMES.)
It's hard enough to get thru that, with just 2 0r 3 children - but, look at the suffering you're putting all your Family thru - if you have 10-12 children.
We used to live by two Mormon families (12 and 15 kids each) All of those kids are grown adults now, and I run into them from time to time.
Most of the kids have had 2 or 3 children - Many of them chose to have NONE - ZERO! What does That tell you? Apparantely they HATED it.
We also have to think of the future of our Earth - our Population is Doubling Faster and Faster all the time.............while our ability to produce enough Food and clean water is becoming More and More of a problem.
We should be very Proud if we can successfully raise 2 or 3 children to be Responsible, Happy and Productive adults. Or, even if we chose not to have any children At ALL, that is a private and caring choice.

A boy and a girl is all we need in life and that is what we got. We are happy with that and most people should be. That way we can afford to raise children. Hope the younger generation will pay attention to those numbers before the planet can not hold any more.

My family has 4 children and for many years only one parent worked. Mom only went back to work recently to get out of the house. Toluna helps me earn a little extra spending money while I'm at college, but other than that has no effect on the family.

I came from a family of 10 kids and a mom and Dad. 7 girls and 3 boys. We played together, and got along great. Don't know how my Mom did it, especially when we would have a few friends over. She died 3 yrs ago and we all fuss over Dad. He loves all the attention.

We have four children and two granddaughters! I know all about God providing for He surely has blessed us! I enjoy taking surveys from Toluna but have never received anything but points so far! Sometimes I am really busy but try to get to my computer to take more surveys!

I only have 2 kids right now, although we are planning to have one (maybe 2 more) later but growing up I was in the middle of 6 kids and I remember the sacrifices my parents made back then to provide for us but also give us things that they wanted or we wanted to have. I know it has to be hard at times. I stay at home with my kids and sacrifice the added income because I believe it is important to start your kids off right with a good solid foundation if you are blessed enough to be able to do so. I would say that for us we are constantly remember that God wants us to be blessed and prosperous so He will provide everything we need.
I totally do surveys as a way to get that little bit of extra money to use one things that we might not do or get otherwise. Your children are blessed to have parents that love them, love God and trust Him to work in and through their lives! :)

I have 3 and my husband has none of his own but has gladly inherited mine , I also have 2 grandkids and one on the way and lets not forget my teenagers boyfriend whom ive gained ownership of as he practically lives at my house. I don't think i could handle any more kids as my youngest 7 is autistic and is a handful at times but most times just as lovable as can be. We struggle like most families trying to make ends meet but we always manage somehow.
