Why do people look down on woman if that have a lot of babies.?

Question

Genesis
35:11 God said unto him I'am God almighty ;be fruitful and multiply.that's in the bible so stop hateing on us moms

Answer 1

I don't look down a moms! But I do feel that one child is enough for any family due to the severity of todays overpopulation problem. Also, there are so many children in the world who are without parents, why not adopt instead?

Answer 2

I am a mom too. That being said I think that many people look down on those who have lots of children because of overpopulation as well as the fact that parents only have so much energy they can provide to each child. Many children with only one or two siblings grow up with a degree of neglect from their parents. The issues that arise from that neglect are a burden on everyone. I wanted to be a parent very badly. When I found out I was having twins, I began to worry alot - and still do. I give my all to my girls, but it is never enough. I have made the choice to not have anymore kids because it would not be fair to them. I know my limits and I try to be responsible. Many parents do not and have kids without really thinking about the consequences.

Answer 3

People tend to look down on women who have lots of children but little means to support them. Those people question the maturity of the mother and how, despite lack of resources, continues to have more babies. They see it as a drain on society and on the welfare system.

I hope that you are able to provide for your children. I am sure that you are a great mother, and are the exception to the rule. You are correct; God did say in His Word that we should be fruitful and multiply. Too many people (even believers) are judgemental. Many belief systems actually believe that more children is better; Catholicism, as you may know, considers many children a blessing and discourages use of birth control.

Answer 4

I wouldnt look down on a woman with alot of kids. However if she's single not married and is having a hard time paying for those kids that's a different story. I believe that God/dess gave us common sense and its a personal choice to have as little or as many children as u want but in having common sense you better be able to care for them too.
A woman shouldnt be having alot of kids if she is unmarried, cant provide for them, cannot handle them, and cant provide for their future(i am talking college educations here).

As for those women who can handle a whole bunch of kids my hat goes off to them bc they have something I definitely do not. I admire Mrs Duggar(that was on TLC) and the Gosseling family on TLC and Discovery Health. To me they are phenominal BUT they have mates to help, supportive family and communities and care for them very well.

Answer 5

OK with me, as long as they have sufficient resources, and I do not mean just money. Each child needs personal care and attention to grow up healthy. Maybe the children have the benefit of several grandparents, aunts, and uncles to watch out for them, while mommy is off making more babies. Well, as my daughter would say, "It's possible!" Cheers

Answer 6

I have never experienced this; however, I have seen others frown upon women who have lots and cannot care for them. I work with emotionally disturbed children and children with special needs. Unfortunately, I see many women who were blessed with children (many sometimes) and do not care for them. So, Good For You if you have many and know that they are gifts. Ignore these people you are referring to, show them what a big happy family really is.

(No need for scripture because their are many religious groups out there who do not read this...no offense) I am Wiccan and still see this behavior as inappropriate.

Blessings to you and yours

Answer 7

God didn't specify the number of kids. He should have been a bit more responsible with telling people that and included the line- "so long as you can be financially and morally responsible." Don't you just hate it when God's words get lost in translation?

Answer 8

You should take responsibility for your own actions. Being a responsible parent means using birth control to space your children so each one has the maximum emotional and financial support for his/her well being.

People who have a baby a year and then expect Welfare to pay them out of our tax dollars are totally irresponsible and mercenary. Don't hide behind quotations from any book to try to cover up your actions. Act like an adult. A responsible adult.

Answer 9

Most people figure large families are being supported by their tax dollars as in welfare. There's also the responsibility of population control due to limited natural resources.

Answer 10

Because it's irresponsible to be popping out kids like animals. Especially if you can't afford them (which a lot of baby-poppers can't.) There's already a problem with overpopulation in this world.
