I don't know about most of you but I'm gonna say that as long as you can support all your kids with no help from anyone...go ahead have as many as you wish. But when the issue of state and federal assistance being needed, then that means you can't afford to have that many kids.
I know a girl who currently has 6 kids. There is nothing health-wise wrong with them at all, but she receives SSI for 3 of them and has been receiving state assistance since her 2nd was born. She struggles to keep money in her bank account and every month she has to use her overdraft protection on her account which can be quite costly by itself and $35 per overdraft.
Now, I hadn't seen her in a few weeks, but saw her yesterday and noticed that she's pregnant again!! It's unbelievable that she wouldn't protect herself from getting pregant again!! Everyone loves a baby...but it disgusts me to think about what kind of life this baby will have being brought up that way.
What do you all think?

If I can't support my child I will not to bring her/him to the word . I can't stand this life that I must depend on the others' help. I just have one child now,and my husband and I plan to have another when we earned enough money ,if not ,I think give the best instrustment to the only son and bring him up to be a useful person is enough to us .

If you can give time to each childre, and you have good earning as well then it is OK. Otherwise it causes headache to have more then 2 children. It is very important decision to make more then 2 children.

What happen to alot of these girls is that when a man comes along showing interest and helping out they don't protect themselves instead they pregnant for this man and then he runs because this is not what he wants. I dislike seeing ladies letting this happening to them until the various governments worldwide put a stop to this them women who is not thinking straight will continue to have multiple kids with no father to assist and draining the government coffers.
