I read an article that said large families are not just for the poor.  It made me think about it some more and I started to reflect back on the comments that I have received from people now that I have 3 kids and one on way.  I think  that some people think that you are poor and/or uneducated if you have a large family.  I actually had a person say to me: “Girl if you have one more child you are going to look poor…You will be pulling up in that …
