I have 2, but Iwould like more!

Answer 1

That's a personal choice. If the parents are able to provide for the children financially and emotionally, then how many they have is none of my business.

Regrettably, the uneducated poor are having most of the children these days.

Answer 3

You can have as many children as you can support, I mean support from birth till they get jobs of there own. You can have as many as you can love and discipline equally. Raising the child/children to be honest, morally responsible, and self sufficient. Not dependent on the rest of us to support them with welfare, food stamps, section 8, etc. So for some individuals they should never have children, then some can handle 8 it depends on the people. Unless you plan on living forever and never having alone time they should probably stop reproducing in there 40's. This is my opinion, no offense meant towards the 60 year old lady still having kids. No I guess I do mean her. What the Hdouble L are you thinking!!!!!!!

My Grandpa did not want any children...the fact is there are children waiting to be born and they have to go to someone...who would you rather them go to? They had 10 children. I come from a large family. I loved it growing up and unlike many large families today that come from mixed families (i.e. mom and dad divorced so now there are step kids,bros and sis ect...) My parents were married to each other the whole time...got married before they had kids and stuck together...

My sister has 7 children right now and they are trying for another...Some people can handle lots of kids and love each of them and give them the time and attention they need...some people can't if you are a high stress and high strung person who can't handle a lot of stress, don't have children...

The time to stop having babies is OUT of Wedlock...it is not fair to the child to come into such an unstable environment...

Answer 5

money is the question. you dont want to have too many and end up not having the money to raise them all. i would say for an average salary of two parents, 4 is the max. it also depends on how much you love children...if you get frustrated easily...which is basically the definition of children most of the time, than 3 is the max.

on the other hand....if you're into huge families, i wouldnt go over 7. (lucky #7) :) well hope i helped

Answer 6

dont listen 2 anyone becuase only u can make that decision. u have to think about many things like the lder the children the more money they cost.so if ur finacial is good then thats enough. also children can be a pain so u might wanna keep as litle as possible.

Answer 7

As long as ALL the children are taken care of physical, emotioanly and financialy......

There is no limit.

I don't know why some people think 2 or 4 is enough for one family!!! If you can do it why not.

If I won the lotto tomorrow I would have as many kids as my body would let me. I know I have the love for it.

Answer 8

doesnt matter how many... what matters if you can take care of them...
in the past many family had at least 8 children... but thats due to the times because children also had jobs and helped out the family

it has decreased now because having a child is expensive.. buying, pampers, formula and food.... where as people of the past managed to raise their kids w/o it.

Answer 9

Two are the ideal number...hopefully a boy and a girl...obviously if one can afford them. But short of that, then have as many as you possibly can and ship'm over the border illegally into Mexico as payback! America will hail you as a hero!

Answer 10

When you have over 4 kids you know you have too many. I mean over 4 is too many mouths to feed. Besides you don't want over 4 kids coming up to you asking you for help on their homework. 4 or less is good enough.
