I live in a Mormon community and wonder y so many kids? A small family is 5 ! know a woman that has 10 and wants More! Why do you think they feel this is ok with the world being over populated?

I say we end up like Japan. ( I believe) where you're only allowed one kid (only we dont make the rule for it being just a boy). I know it sounds harsh, but we're waaaay over populated as is!

Our faith believes that the greatest thing we can ever accomplish on this earth is to have a family and bring children into this world. It's different for everyone though. I'm Mormon and I don't plan on having 10 kids. That's my preference. You know, other non-mormon pelple have 10 or 20 kids themselves.
"Do we think we're so great we need to pass on our genetic code?" Wow... you have a lot of nerve.

I don't know anything about the Mormon faith or community but people from all backgrounds have these large families sometimes. I don't get it. Maybe they just enjoy the drama of having all of those kids.

I think it is their decision to do as they please... I am not Mormon so I don't know the reasons but personally we stopped at two....
I am not Super Woman.. So 2 is plenty to keep me ever so occupied...
I am sure religion may be a reason but none the less it is their choice.....

I think it is mostly people of the religions what do not believe in using birth control.

I feel sorry for you... You live in a community of rabbits !!!
I would imagine it has something to do with the religion...

it could be that they want to pass on their faith, since there aren't too many of them, ie i dont know anyone who is a mormon
