Are the three children with your fiance or from a previous relationship/marriage? If they are from a previous relationship and he doesn't have any kids I can kind of understand why he would like to have children. I personally think 6 children is too much to handle....but that is a personal decision. Plus you have to look at it from a financial standpoint. Can you afford to raise 6 children? That will help you decide.

It's hard when one person grew up with a smaller family and the other grew up with a bigger family. You need to sit your finace down and try to discuss this further with him. In the end you guys are the ones that are going to have to make the decision.

with the recent situation of the economy today, it would be really wise to plan the number of kids you are planning to have. you and your partner should have a serious talk and you could tell him what you feel and think about having that many children. as for me, i would like to have four. i only have one sibling and i really want to have four kids. but of course it could still change depending on our financial status.

If you do not want that many childern you should openly discuss with your fiance the reasons why. I believe it should be a decision made by both parties. I have four childern, and two step kids. So in total we have six kids, and it is very hard for so many reasons. LOL. I don't know how you really decide, its a personal decision. I always wanted a very large family when I was young, but I had no idea it would be this hard. I love them all dearly, but it is very difficult splitting yourself between 6 different childern, and a husband. Good luck in your choice..
