How many kids is too many for one couple?

A friend of mine (35) and his wife (33) have 4 and are eager for their fifth. Does that seem like too many?

in my view one kid is already far too many

Not at all. We had 7 and are thankful for every one of them. The best part is they all get along and love each other. Yes, money was tight but we had a ball raising them.

@MsSwan thats partially my point.

2/3 is a good amount.

Starting at 20 to 30 yrs of age.

I kind of feel bad for the multiples though. Can't give them that one on one attention.

@Umile 2/3 of a kid? 😂
Umile · 41-45, F
@Gumba1000 lol. 2 or 3. Not 2 out of 3.
Whats too many ?

As long as you have the time, thr love, the attention, the space and the emotional and financial means to support the children you have .....its all good.

In saying that tho - there are some that should never have any .

@OogieBoogie My parents came from families of nine and six🙂 Still thats harder to do in the 21st century
@bookerdana my brother in law came from a family of 16. And they are all close and a lovely family .

It will be harder to afford children .
I think they might become an elitist thing.
Give it another 150 years and only thr 1%ers will be having them , and thr rest will all be a workforce that never knows retirement .

@OogieBoogie Unless something changes...but it might,not all Revolutions are bloody ones
If someone goes over 10, there is a problem

Their choice

The number they can have and still afford to give a good life to. I feel so sorry for some kids you see having to share so much that nothing ever feels like theirs.

That’s crazy…are they Catholic?

@Bumbles no protestant i think. Opposed to birth control for sure living in NC from NY.

I would say that one or two kids would be my limit.

You could be their 5th
jehova · 31-35, M
@TurtlePink thanks?
Just imagine if every couple on the planet had a half a dozen kids what a hellscape Earth would be

To hell with the supposed human right of unfettered procreation, this is a big picture issue, not a little picture issue
