Goodness! Addiction?: Addictions are characterized by a preoccupation with something that interferes with the normal function of your life. If you are healthy, and can afford to support a large family, great. If you can't support the kids and you are putting your health at risk, examine your motives. Some people are enchanted by little babies, but aren't enthralled by teens. Remember, you have them forever!
