Children I mean, individually and on the
whole.
Is there even any such thing?
Alot of problems are caused by there being
to many people ya know.
So what is your opinion?

i was watching this show on TLC the other
day adn this family had
16 kids ranging from newborn to 17rys. and
2 sets of twins
it was amazing.. i didn't think people
still had that many kids...
i think thats a little over the top
tho...
and then these people had twins then
sextuplets...
that was pretty amazing too...
lol i thought that went with your
question..

A lot of people believe 2 kids maximum
because then you are only replacing
yourself and your partner, so you arent
contributing to the over population of our
planet...just something I read recently.
I think its a personal choice upto each
couple to decide how many they can provide
for financially, have enough time and
energy for, afford a big enough home for
and all those types of things. Otherwise I
dont think its right to plan a baby. There
are pros and cons for both small and large
families, do what you feel is right for
your personal situation I guess.

i saw a commercial about the duggars, the
ones who have 17 children. i think it's
odd. i feel bad for their other children
because they are being deprived, at least
that's how i feel. they probably don't
feel that way because that's how they've
grown up. after another one is born they
get more and more buddies, and they're
home schooled and have to wear these
dresses that are ugly and old looking that
their mom makes them. i just think it's
sad, i guess if they can afford it then,
hey, but i feel bad for their other
children.

i agree with you terra
before they built their new house..
they were living in a 3bedroom rental
....
i personally don't see how ANYONE could
afford 17 kids..
unless of course, you are Bill Gates

i think if youve got the money and space
and time to care for kids then you should
have how ever many you feel
however 17 is alot
my dad had 11 brothers and sisters and
none of them were deprived, thier parents
loved them just as equal

As long as you are emotionaly and
financialy able to suport said children
then there should be no limits as to how
many you have . you are the one feeding
clothing and caring for them as long as
you have the resources thats all that
matters

I have seen very large families do
wonderfully. I went to school with a
family of 13 kids. All well mannered,
kind, musical, intelligent, athletic, etc.
I don't think thier case is the normal
way things go. Personally, I think no
more than two children due to population
issues.

There are many layers to this. If you can
care and love all of them... have 16.
But the ethically correct way to go for
our planet and for our species is far
lower... like 2 or 3.

I think that you should be able to have as
many as you can adequately provide for. I
personally don't see myself having more
than 3. It's all a matter of choosing
responsibly.

I agree. As an overall theres too many
people in exsistance. but as a family it's
a totally personal choice, thats should be
based on time, engergy, finances, ect.

After 4 children it becomes a danger to
your health apparently, my friends mother
has 5 children and as a direct result of
that according to her doctor her uterus
has collapsed and she has to have surgery
and have it removed. Apparently that's
quite common.

They did, and then mothers died of uterine
hemmorhhage, or walked aound with their
uterus tied up for the rest of their
lives.

I think Mrs. Duggar had a hard time
finding a doctor that would let her
deliver naturally. They do have such a
loving and supportive family. She went to
The Salvation Army once a year and did a
lot of clothes shopping. She also made
her kids clothes. You have to figure they
probably make a bit of money being on TLC.
I remember watching it when I was pregnant
thinking that woman is NUTS!!!!!!
I think if you can love and take care of
them emotionally and financially have as
many as you want.
