No. of Kids

How many bedrooms do you have? **Just kidding**

We have 5 and often feel its not enough.

Overpopulation is a myth to control people.

I think a couple can have as many as they can afford to take care of, and I don't just mean financially. If you feel you can give equal attention and love to every child in your home then I see no reason why you shouldn't have as many as you want.

Our one boy is perfect for us!

Depends on the family. I always say after you have 3, whats 2 or 3 more, lol.

when you can't physically, emotionally or financially take care of ALL of them. Good luck!

I agree that you "know" when your family is complete. I always thought I wanted 4 kids but then when I was pg with my 3rd son, I knew that we were done. My husband was fine with whatever I wanted (figures) as long as it wasn't having any more babies, ha ha. I would have thought I'd want to try one more time for a girl but then I realized that God obviously wanted to have my 3 wonderful boys and I'm very content :) Good luck, I know it's a hard decision.

I think people should decide how many they want and go for it. I only have one child. I would have liked a bigger family but it wasn't to be. I have friends with 12 kids and most of my friends have over 5 kids. I think big families are awesome. They always have someone to play with, someone to listen to them, and more closer relationships than I have ever seen with a smaller family. If you want lots of kids then go for it, there will always be a way to take care of them. If you apply yourself and plan/manage you finances well then you will always have food on the table, heat in the cold and shelter from the elements.

If you want a smaller family then that is your choice too. The intimacy formed by a couple and 1 or two children can be very comfortable.

Discuss with your spouse and you decide what you want your family to be.

It all depends on what you feel you can handle. I have 4 :)

Well, this of course is a very personal decision and differs for every family. However, on a sort of "global" level, I think two is enough. The world is already overpopulated, so I like the idea of zero population growth.

Whoa! thats quite a question! I personally think that when you are done you know it, one way or the other. I knew after my second that it was never going to happen again- mostly cause I was just physically spent and tired. But, I have a friend that has four kids and she wants more... I really think it is just a very personal decision...
What do you think? :)

This is a very personal decision, and only you and your partner can determine how many children is enough...listen to your heart and mind, but also be practical. If you don't have the physical, emotional, or financial means to support them, then it's wise to stop----
