If you can afford to support them have as many as you want.
If you're living in a council house and having more kids to get more benefits then please get yourself sterilised.
Most people have to "cut their coat according to their cloth" when it comes to children and only have as many as they can afford to provide for.

If you're sure you can provide for them for 18 years, then go ahead.
However, if you're a liberal the whines about how people are destroying the planet, (I'm not!), then you are a hypocrite if you have any at all:
Those kids not only need food and clothing, but will grow up to need houses and places of work (which require lots of trees to be cut down to build, mining to make the concrete, steel, etc.), and over several generations will themselves end up with dozens of people needing the earths resources.

it really depends on the parents. My husband and I have one beautiful 7yr. old and shes plenty for us. With the performing class the shows the voice lessons etc not including the everyday living. It's hard work!!! I'm amazed at parents with 2,3,or more children. For us 1's the magic number

Greedy?! What a strange word to use, who have you been listening to?
You work, don't claim welfare benefits? Go for your life! have as many as you can cope with and afford!!
Do what is best for your family and don't let anybody make you feel guilty for it.
Best Wishes. xxx.

I believe that a child is the result of 2 people loving each other, so if you already have kids and you dont feel they would miss out and your partner is up for it, you go girl!!

good for you, have as many as you can manage, both financially and in terms of quality time. Don't forget that children need their parents to be at home sometimes.

It's not about being greedy. It's about being sensible. I think two is perfect but anymore than three and I can't see how you can give one to one attention that they need.

id say have as many as you can, but as long as you can afford to give them a happy life and your children are happy being part of a large family.
