I like children. I have two. I dedicated my life to them. When they were 2 to five I don`t have someone to help me with them so it was very difficult forme working. I think how much difficult it could be if I had six children for example.

I wouldnt want to have a lot of children but it does have its advantages well when you get older you can always live with one of your kids. Even though its hard at first to raise a lot of kids it probably will get better when time goes on. Plus it saves you on taxes having a lot of kids which is another big advantage lol.

it's true. the more children the more responsibility.
Now in the world some people have over 4 children, some totally have no child. It's their choice. Personally i don't want to have any child because i feel it's too much for me to have a child. I don't know how to educate him or her. i worry if my child is not happy with their life i will feel very upset with it.
anyway it's just my thought for now. my husband said one day my motherhood nature will come out and i will change my mind.
Back to your question, i read a news about a british woman who had 13 children and one waiting on birth. I felt sad for her. her life is totally spoit by these births.
I think 2-3 children for a family is suitable.

Hello Ethelbv! hihi Guess what? i was wanting 6 children but my husband was violent and we divorced less 2 years after wedding ...before to be "hurt" physically & emotionally too much in a way WE saved our Life by quitting him. My daughter is mom of 2 she wants more but... i explained her with the Future coming look around what kind of society we put children now so Better Quality than Quantity !! and just help around cousins, friends with their children and we give Never too much LOVE to them !! * If you need so much to see more children become Volunteer at school or kindergarden for homeworks or in the game-yard, between school hours schedule Help is always needed. Yes, i know that kids-world cause i was teacher all grades, and home now cause of Fibromyalgia, but i care for my grand-children!

i think there are some positive and negatives aspect if you having a lot of children.the advantages first is the whole family will be happy because you can have your playmates.second,in terms of trials and problems many shoulder can lean on you.however,the disadvantages of having many sibling is that when your parents cant give you a decent way of living if your parent do not have a wage salary for the whole family.second,if your parents do not have a job you and your other sibling cant go to school.third,in terms of nutrition,the more sibling you have they can eat any food they like because of lack of income sources they will become malnurished.

lot of chilren is terrible, i think two is the best.but if i have a little money, i will decide have the second child; if i am poor, i have only one;
many children is very diffcult today.

I dont...hahah No really when I was younger I didnt even want children until a few years ago my neice was born and now I have a nephew. I love them both very much and now I do want children of my own some day but at max two. I dont think I would be able to handle them until I'm in my 30's. My mother had 3 babies like a year apart then I came along around 3 years later. We were a military family so my father was gone a lot. To this day I still have no idea how she managed. She is my favorite super woman though :)
