Your Thoughts on 5+ Children

I, personally, think that if the parents are financially stable and can spend enough time with their children, then I see nothing wrong with having many little ones!
What do you think?
Thank you!

If you've got the funds and the time to devote to all your kids, then heck - have as many or adopt as many as you want. There are certainly plenty of kids out there who need good homes.

Hello, I was wondering how everyone feels about families that have many children (let's say 5+) . Do you think it depends on how much money they make, where they live, how they raise their children, how much time they have to spend with their children, etc.
I, personally, think that if the parents are financially stable and can spend enough time with their children, then I see nothing wrong with having many little ones!
What do you think?
Thank you!
I agree with you. They should definitely be financially stable! BUT, this world is already very overpopulated, so in my opinion 5 should be the limit ... regardless of how much money you make.
What I hate to see are the people who clearly don't have the money to take care of so many children, but have them anyway, like they're puppies or something. That burns me up!

Sure,rich families should have as many kids as they can support financially,and poorest families should have less kids,but unfortunatelly more and more girls that live in 3rd World countries often end up having 6,7 kids,because they are not familiar with anticonceptional methods.And rich families have 2,sometimes 3 kids,because it is less stressful.
I think 5 is a good number,depending on the age difference between the kids.I was raised with two younger sibilings and me and my younger brother have a 9-year-old difference,so I helped taking care of him a lot.In a big family the kids "raise" each other and help around the house a lot.
I wish I could be able to sustent a big family,but unless I get very rich in the next couple of years I will only have 2 (maybe 3) kids.

i know my way probably won't happen. But, oh well.
I might want twins. But I can't think of any good names. i definetly don't want one of each for twins. I would name my twin boys Andrew and Alex. I don't know about twin girls.
i really like these names:
Alison Chloe
McKenna Amber
Calleigh Chanel
Kemily Jordan Marie or Kemily Justice Lauryn
Madison Heidi
Kenley Patricia
Briley Kate- i'm naming my 2nd baby girl this!
Abigail Serenity- i'm naming my 3rd baby girl this!
Kylee Maranda
Heylee Kay Michelle
Heather Elizabeth
Alexa Brynlee Grace- i would esp. use this if i had one of each twins. the boy would be Alex. I also like Alexandria.
Sara Michola Paige
Kiersten Paris
Taylor Memphis-I ADORE THIS! i am a BIG fan of Taylor Swift!
Tabitha Caydence (we would call her Tabby. I have a friend named Tabitha and we call her Tabby)
Kori Rachel Dylan- i like Kori. It's unique. I used to date this guy named Corey and we always said we would name our first baby girl Kori Rachel beause his middle name is Robert and his best friend os Dylan.
Jazmyn Lily
Jammie Kierra
Trinity Grace
Summer Kiley Nicole- esp. if she is born on June 21st. The first day of Summer!

Definitely enough money! Most families that don't have enough money to support their kids end up pretty broken or with kids who regret their parents plus their decisions. Even if you wont pay for their college's and cars, at least pay for their clothing, food, medical needs and a hobby! (well, that's my opinion anyhoo ) I know I got really frusterated when I was younger and I had to work around the neighborhood to save up enough money to buy a dress I really really wanted. And I was pretty upset when my mum couldn't afford for me to join the soccer team when I was seven- like all my friends where doing
Definitely plenty of love and support. Many families with plentious amounts of money don't even get this! Some people seem to get it wrong either way- either they have to many kids to even pay attention to half of them or they spoil them rotten and expect that to suffice their needs. It kinda makes you sad when your parents can't remember your birthday.... it's happened to me plenty of times, and we only had four kids!
A good living environment. If you have enough money, and you have enough love, you also need somewhere nice for the kid(s) to live. If you have a two bedroom house, a stay at home mom and a hard-working money-maker dad isn't gunna cut thirteen children.... Plus if you have high crime rates, bad neighborhood, etc, that's not quite the greatest either...........
A stable relationship of your own. A relationship your kids can admire type of thing, you know? If you end up with nine kids from different fathers- and still aren't married yourself, what kind of influence is that on your kids? A healthy relationship with one man- preferably that your married to- is a great quality that your kids can look up to and try to be like one day. Living on government paychecks in your mothers house doesn't quite set up a pathway for your kids to follow, haha
That's my main four points, I'm thinking so far
Oh, and lovely123, did you know you can increase your chances on having twins by eating yams? Apparently it does something to your overies or something... but I've read a few studies on it, and apparently some midwestern/west-European (don't remember... something west?) tribes have a diet wicked high on yams and they have the highest multiples birth rate in the world It can't hurt to try it!

But I see no problem with a lot of kids if you can support them financially and emotionally (I don't think you have to be rich).
I would really like to be a foster mom one day when I have my own place and room for a child in my life. If I have my own kids one day then the more the merrier But I still feel very passionately about being a foster mom so I plan on taking care of as many kids as I can support.

I don't agree with people having loads of children if they just use them to get a house or free money (as seems to be the case a lot if you believe the newspapers, here in England anyway) or if they just end up going into a care home because their parents can't look after them.
