<p>Martha agreed with me on something. Wow. Maybe the tide isn't that bad</p>
<p>Psh. The Tide rocks.</p>
<p>if tide rocks Canes are boulders</p>
<p>(Boulders can't move, not to mention rush)</p>
<p>Yea well bottom line is The U>Burma or whatever its called</p>
<p>The U is omnipotent</p>
<p>Crimson is an ugly color anyways</p>
<p>Nah-uh</p>
<p>Muy pretty.</p>
<p>Anyways, I don't plan on having more than two kids, honestly. It's like the perfect number....since that way I only have to set up two trust funds instead of like 6.</p>
<p>I don't plan on having any kids, and if I ever change my mind, which could happen, though very unlikely, I'm adopting. One.</p>
<p>Unless you live on a farm, kids are a liability anymore. But people need to have kids to propegate the race. I have been wanting a kid for 11 some years now, but I patiently wait until I buy a house and go from there.</p>
<p>i think its really difficulr to be able to provide for and given enough attention to all the kids when you have so many. i think anything more than 3 is wayy too much, but thats just my personal opinion.</p>
<p>of course some familys manage to succesffully raise more than 3 children, and i respect them for that. it is always good to have a big happy family.</p>
<p>It's my civic duty to adopt and refrain from contributing to overpopulation. :)</p>
<p>Ditto to leah377!
When I see a family with large amounts of children, esp. if they are obviously the Christian fundimentalist homeschooler type that have the kids all dressed alike in historical garb, I cringe.</p>
<p>My parents are originally from india, my mom comes from a family of 6 siblings, and my dad comes from a family of 5 siblings. They definitely had a very strong relationship with their parents (my grandparents), and every single one has good things to say and stories to tell. Of course, that was a different country at a different time.</p>
<p>I myself would probably think that 3 is pushing it.</p>
<p>it's a problem both financially and attention-wise, isn't it?</p>
<p>Truthfully, i hope i don't step up to 3. 2 is the maximum.</p>
<p>my dad is the third of nine childern. I asked him why my grandparents has so many kids, he told me "they were to poor to buy anything to use as contraception"
then I asked my mom why her parents had only 2 kids. she told me "my father died young (28) and my mom never remarried"</p>
<p>i guess it depends on a family's financial status (at least where I live). people with money have less children than people who are not as fortunate. but I also think that education plays an important role in it as well. Most of the families I know which have more than 4 children don't have a single literate person in them.</p>
<p>People are saying that a parent can not give enough attention to a lot of children, but a lot of times when there are only a couple of children, they are often spoiled. I've noticed that a lot of times that with bigger families the children aren't as selfish because they understand that there are other children and don't always get what they want. </p>
<p>Of course there are exceptions both ways, it just depends on how the children are raised, so we all should stop stereotyping big and small families (I know I just did, but that was to make a point).</p>
<p>The Duggar family has over 16 kids and they are the uber christians you guys were talking about. That homeschool their kids and dress them up in the same clothing. I think the most ever is 63 I am not sure but I saw that some where.</p>
<p>Brigham Young had hundreds of kids.</p>
<p>There is a man in Ethiopia with 11 wives and 77 children...and his sons are turning out to be just like him.</p>
