Having Many Children

To have one child or more than one should not be the criteria. Your love for the one child or more should be same. The love and affection, the financial support, education support, social and mental support is important my dear. Getting child into this world is very easy. But bringing them up with all accomplishing their needs is a big question. So when the love towards one child or more is same how can you say the difference that you are happy with one kid or more than one kid. Now a days it is very difficult to give good education, financial support, as expenses are more. Being good and responsibility parent is more important.

Hello again kaich,i am married and now we have only one daughter,she is seven now and for now we still have no plans of adding one..I would love to have at least three kids but hubby and i wants to give all the best to our child so we need to work harder before we add another.. I think having many offspring is good as long as you can give the attention and the needs they all deserve.

In my home country birth control is available so many people have exactly the number of children that they choose to. A typical number would be two, three or four. It depends how large a home they live in and how much money they have got. Many pregnancies are a happy surprise. My sister when she was young said she wouldn't have any children. She ended up having four children: two boys and two girls. I have got three children: a sixteen year old son, a four year old disabled son and a two year old daughter. In a developing country a rich couple might like to adopt a few unwanted children. It is said there are street children that haven't got a home to live in. Good luck to you with having children.

I have three children and personally I think that is enough. Kids all need their own individual attention and my 3 kids keep me on my toes. I honestly think if I had any more I would not be able to give them the individual attention that all need and deserve. Sure little kids are cute but little kids grow up to be teenagers and raising teenagers is a whole different ball game. I don't see how people who have a lot of children can possibly give each child what they need and deserve on an emotional level. Sure if you have lots of money you can feed, clothe, and keep a roof over many kids heads, but kids need more than that, then need individual attention.

Hi , i think is good to have many children. I have one child - dauther , why i dont have a lot of maney for many children.I leave in Bulgaria and i work evry day and spend 200 dollars evry months.

I have just given birth to my fifth child. She was definitely unplanned, because between my husband and I, we have eight! However, i must say that she has completed a path for us. I cannot imagine having only one child. I might have too much time for myself!

We have one child. I think I might like to have two. At most 3. Partially because children cost a lot of money and I don't think we could afford to raise more than 4 children, and partially because I don't really want to be too outnumbered.

Here due to the One Child Policy, so most familes allow to have one child only. Personally I prefer to have two children since it will be perfect for a family. One child is lonely. And he/she has a higher pressure when he/she grows up. Since his/her parents count on him/her, also their child has to count on them, too. And the family can't afford to any accidents. I love China

I, too, feel for children caught up in their parent's errors. I believe that people should only have as many children as they can take care of. However, sometimes through no fault of the parent, their financial situation changers. Those are the ones for which I feel sorry.

hi kaichoukebz, I have one brother and two sisters. We are in harmonious relationship except with my older brother who keeps himself away from us. Even though we have big age gap, it doesn't affect much in our relationship as siblings. Only my youngest sister and I were able to finish college. My brother and older sister did not finish their college because they worked right away after high school. They think that they have to go to college for work and since they already have jobs, then there is no need to go to college. That was their outlook before but they found out it was wrong when they witnessed the result of finishing college. Actually, my older brother want to be a soldier but my parents don't want it because it is dangerous. Same case with my sister who wants to be a journalist. Finding a job that time is not difficult so they prefer to work rather than enroll themselves in other course. I finished college not because of my parents but because of my sister. She was the one who helped me with money. Our parents are both old and just wait for their monthly pension. They can do small jobs but their money cannot support me for college. My sister is also the one who helped our youngest to finish her degree. I don't think so that we can have a non-stop studying in college if not because of my sister. Whenever I think of my future as a wife, I think also of my kids. I just want to have two to three children. Having one child is not good for me as I think that child will be spoiled. I want three kids and maybe having four is the maximum for me. Well, no matter how many children will I have in the future, I will still be thankful. I will make sure that each one of them can finish their studies and have a good life.

I don't think that one or the other is really right for every family. For example, my husband and I chose to have only two children because we knew that was the number of children that we would be able to bring up comfortable. However, one of my really good friends has three children and another has six children because they had a desire to have a larger family. In addition to that, the family that has six children has a larger income so they can afford to bring up more children.

Hi kaichoukebz: I think there's not an only answer for this question. you have to discuss it with your partner to know how she feels and if she want to have a mother or many children or not. At the same time, I don't think the number of sons make a father or mother a better one. If you can only afford to raise a child, that's ok and I am not talking only about the money, most important is that you have to be able to give them the time they deserve and love. ALVARO

I am sure I will also have a family someday and will have children.I will prefer to have only at most three because having only few kids give me more time for work and life.I will also be able to give everything they need if they aren't numerous.Few kids will be also good to my future wife because she won't have to take care a lot of kids.It will also be healthier to her. I don't know why many parents give birth to many children when they can't give those kids a good life.I wonder if they ever think about the future of their kids.They shouldn't always just think about the pleasure of having s'i'x but also about the lifes that they will make miserable. I mean there are many ways to plan family.They still can have pleasure without making lives miserable. There in philippines there is a conflict about family planning because the catholic church is intruding.I want a complete separation of church and government...

I agree with you it should depend on the parent's status. If they know that they can't support having so much kids they should see to it that they can control themselves. It's sad seeing kids not going to school and some being pushed to work in the streets begging for money.

i am an only child, hubby and i have two daughters but i do know several families with 5 kids, my sister in law has 6, friends of ours have 9 kids as well but i know what you mean.

So many people have to many children and then realize they can't afford all of them! Then there are parents who have children with disabilites,like Down's Syndrome and send them to an orphanage because children like that are not excepted in their countries! I saw this on the news the other night. Most of this children who are put in an orphanage aren't adopted and end up in mental institutions for the rest of their lives! Children deserve better then that! If You can't afford to have children don't have them and if a child is born with disabilities don't throw them away! That is what I think.

hello, yeah, you are right? Actually, yes it is depends on the status of the parent if they can support their children education, home and foods. Why not?. For me, I really like to have 5 children when I got married because I want my children to be happy even I am gone. I want them to help each other whenever there are trouble. I want them to be happy because I only have brother and sister and It is like boring.

I think it will be very good and fine when we have more kids. I prefer to have 3 or more childrens. I prefer so because then we will havd more fun and it makes our family more loving. Mainly having more children helps us to start a new school.

Having many children is a parents burden..as a parents you must know how to control and decide both partner how many children they wanted to but they must look for their status 1st or go for a family planning.

To me it's all about what a person can handle and provide for. I have a large family with 6 children. I am able to provide a roof over there heads and food in there bellies and love for each and every one. They get plenty of things that are above and beyond the standards of living. Some people struggle just to make ends meet with just one child or have no interest in more than one. I love my family and would never change the size of it. People always tell me how I have my hands full, but really I do not. They are well behaved children and I love every minute with them. Yes they sometimes misbehave but those are the times they learn and so do I to become a better parent and teach them right from wrong.
