already have six children?

Question

but i want another. i think my family would freak out. i don't feel as if i am ready to stop having kids. should i have another?

Answer 1

I have 5, and going for number 6 requires me to face the "what would people think" question. I've pretty much resolved that most people will likely never understand why motherhood is such a joy to me, or how excited I am to have a large clan of grown adults to support each other, and to continue to celebrate life with as we all mature. The more kids I have, the more determined I am to live an organized, venerable, grace-led life...so why give others the power to limit my growth?

I would think that once you've had 6 without apology, more children are a given. I've chosen to put 2 yrs between each child, so I'm aiming for 3 more by the time I reach age 40. If you need extra doses of encouragement, go to large families message boards. But mostly, trust your heart that you are destined to have more, just keep praying for the circumstances to align for everyone's highest good. Let the skeptics direct their own lives within limitations that speak true to them.

Answer 2

It is up to you and your husband. Be sure you are able to afford the children you have before you add another child.
Be sure you have enough energy, pyhsically and emotionally to care for another child.

If your family freeks maybe you are taking on more than you can deal with. And if you are doing well, then make your choices and expect them to freek out and then they will eventually calm down. Just don't expect them to raise your kids for you

Answer 3

If you can support another child go for it...
Look over your finances carefully and make sure you can afford it, Kids dont get expensive till they start becoming school age then TEENAGERS. Dont deprive your 6 children of something to satisfy your need for another child unless you can afford it. I have 6 kids of my own and I absolutley would of had another if I could.

Answer 4

do you really wanna to have another child even you are already got 6 children. you gotta end up beingin a grandma least couples more years til youre older kids end up getting married and end up having their own children . you wouldnt even have time to have extras free time for youreself in the future . cause you will keep hainvg more children til you releazie that you never wish you have so many kids that you wouldnt able have etras money for youre rest of youre kids put them in colleges ? making children so many will cost so much money. cause i know my parents are grandparents already and they had 6 olders children 3 boys and 3 girls ? well iamn ot going to stop you having more children ,but do youre husand want another one ?

Answer 5

YES HAVE AS MANY AS U WANT ONLY FOR A GOOD PURPOSE BESIDES WHY SHOULD THEY BE SO FREAKED OUT BY THAT THEY DONT HAVE 2 GO THREW THE PAIN I LOVE KIDS IN THE END THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY IN THE HOUSE

Answer 6

I think that if you really want to have another baby, and everything is going well like money, and having a nice place to live and everyone is safe I don't see why you shouldn't have another baby.

Answer 7

I think your going to end up like that woman who has 16 kids and is pregnant again. Stop while your ahead. 6 is more than enough.

Answer 8

If you and your partner can look after another- if you have enough room and money, then I don't see why you shouldn't. Your family shouldn't be making decisions like this for you.

Answer 9

no no no no! don't do it. i'm not trying to be mean, but how are you going to give each individual child the love, and attention they deserve? you must already have your hands full with your six children. aren't they enough?

Answer 10

It's none of your family's business! It's for you and your husband to decide.

As long as you're not putting your health at risk and you can afford to support another little one, go for it!
