How many kids are to much?

Question

If you could provide for as many children as you wanted how many would you think would be the limit. How many is to much?

Answer 1

A lot of people have very large families (10-18 kids). It is really a full time job, and if you are psychologically and fiscally ready to care for such a family and WANT such a family, I say go for it! You obviously know what you're doing.

Answer 2

So long as you can provide for them I don't think there is a limit, it would depend on how many times a woman wants to be pregnant, go through the diaper and potty training stage and if they can give all the children their time. They would each deserve quality time with both parents as well as one on one. A couple should always remember though that the older a child gets the more they cost, one or more could have serious health issues and just because their doing well financially now doesn't mean that something couldn't change that.

Answer 3

I think everyone is different in terms of how many children they feel they can provide for emotionally and financially. I have five kids. We live on one income but we manage to provide for them as best we can. Our children are all very much loved and they are truly special gifts.

You have to have alot of love, patience and energy to have a large family. It is work don't get me wrong. They can difficult, defiant and frustrating but at the end of the day when you look at them sleeping you see their sweet innocent faces and you realize how truly blessed you are to have them...

Answer 4

Well, I have three and some days I feel bad at the end of the day when I realize I haven't been able to devote one-on-one time with each of them. I would say that if it gets to the point where you can't spend time alone and get to know each one on a personal level it's too many. Sometimes I would like to have one more but I don't think it would be fair to any of them to stretch myself like that. I want to make sure I know each one of my children - really KNOW them and be here for them. I know to do that I can't go beyond three.

Answer 5

The limit would be the amount that you feel you want and what you can divide yourself out to each child needs one on one time and individual attention on a daily basis. you go and have 10 children can you really care for and give them what they need emotionally the same as if there were three?

Answer 6

Its a matter of emotional needs--how much time ,love and effort and scholastic support you can provide,,then there is the question of keeping up the cleaning needs of a large family and how much time you want to spend on the cooking cleaning laundry etc.. I personally think no more than 4--

Answer 7

If you cannot provide for all children in terms of basic necessities, such as food, clothing, education and room, then the number is too much. It's simple, you basically need to know the number of people you can "allow" to live in your home.

As for me, I would like two.

Answer 8

Depending on your age ,one or two are too many,it make it hard for man ,to have any interest in you,when there are too many kids ,young man still want to have time to party ,have fun and just do there thing.Now, as for an older man ,like myself,raising kids ,is allmost like art,we take pride in it I love kids myself ,haven"t not been albe to raise any of my own and I have 2 kids ,have not been able to see them,A man migth love for a moment , but in the long run , they'll run . But we as men don't mean to do it , it just being scare. So, if you're under 20,with 1 child, unless it real,wait before having any more .

Answer 9

i think that the couple are the only ones who know how many children they can provide for .

Answer 10

As long as you can handle them and they are well behaved good children I think you should have as many as you like. I hate limits......as long as a guy wanted me have his babies I would have them.....
