i see many people saying that military wifes hav emore kids then civi wifes... is this true??? i dotn see it... my cousin has 5 kids, 5 daddies, and is a civi women.ive known a few civi women to have up to 7 kids... ive known them.. not online, but in person..... ive only known two military wifes to have that many kids.... and one had the 5th by pure accident... she had a tuble, and still managed to get prego...

most military wifes i know have 1-3 kids... most, have 2..... then 1, and last 3.... or none.....

oh, or, one military wife i know, has one bio, and 4 step..... does she qualify?

anywhos.... this is my personal experiance..... i want yours.... do you really think military wifes have more babies then cives?

or is it just another assumption made?

I'm a military wife.  I'll be 3 months shy of 30 when I have this baby.  I had our first when I was 27, but she didn't live. 

ETA: I put my ages in because another stereotype is that military wives are very young when they have children.

Asumption!  I can name 25 of my friends and aquaintences that have 3 or more kids.  ALL CIVILIANS.  Its just a stigma Military wives get.
