If money where not an issue nor time how many children would you choose to have?

Answer 1

I would love to have few (2-4-6).. have a daughter so maybe it would be nice to experience a son. Few children but not too many either (it is better when they go in two's, one often feels out) as I will not be able to give all my love and enough attention to every one as much as the children deserve. Also effect on the body to have babies as many as possible are not very good.

HOWEVER check those below records.. unbelievable!!

The last Sharifian Emperor of Morocco, Mulai Ismail (1646-1727), a ruthless tyrant, begat numerous children through the imperial concubines. In 1703 he had at least 342 daughters and 525 sons; by 1721 he was reputed to have 700 male descendents. Though Ismail thought nothing of slaughtering a servant for the slightest provocation, he treated his infants with surprising tenderness. What scant rearing the children experienced did little to curb their natural violent inclination they inherited from their father: They soon became a public nuisance, given to murdering slaves or, in their less vicious moments, robbery and pilfering.

According to Guinness World Records 2001, the highest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782) of Shuya, Russia. Between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets. 67 of them survived infancy.


The modern world record for giving birth is held by Leontina Albina from San Antonio, Chile. Now in her mid-sixties, Leontina claims to be the mother of 64 children, of which only 55 of them are documented, birth certificates apparently being something of a less-than-serious concern for destitute Chileans. She is listed in the 1999 Guinness book but mysteriously dropped from later editions.


Obviously, we cant compete with THAT!! LOL

They had their own ARMY!

Answer 2

I really don't know, I have 3, 2 step and one mine, However the 2 older ones I raised are mine because I raise them without the help of child support. I choose to take on a ready made family and I did the best I could. The 2 old children are adults now and I would never change any of it. The youngest makes the connection complete. He completes the connection from me to his older brother and sister.

So your question is truly hard to answer. But if money is the issue I would have never had any kids.

Answer 3
