I think it is time to stop when you financially, emotionally and physically think you are at your max. Varies for every person really!

Oops then!! i already have 3!!

but then there are a lot of people out there have many many children who can't look after them. personally i can look after them , support them and pay for them, and most importantly love and cherish then!!

I think it depends on the situation. If you'll be financially stable with another and have the energy to keep up I say why not? I think I'll always have the urge for another because I love babies. I know we wont have more then three because for us I think that's where we'll mentally tap out.

I know someone who is pregnant with her SIXTH for me thats way too many, id like 3 tops (have one at the moment) but then I may change my mind who knows. I think it is all down to preferance and how many you can afford, she has a HUGE house but only lives on one income so unless he has an amazingly well paid job then im guessing they get alot of help but she said they will stop at 6!

I know families that have 12+ kids. Its really all about how much you are willing to sacrifice. As long as they have food in their bellies, have a place to sleep, and love, then you're doing your job! I'm pretty sure there will be some people out there that disagree with me, but that's their prerogative. And you dont have to worry about over-population, as its been showed time and time again to be a myth.

I think for me my max will be 3. Couldn't imagine having anymore than that......unless I end up with a rich man!

 

[plutosblue]

As many as money will permit Personally I would love a really big family, 4 or more and OH is more than happy to let me go nuts with as many as I want

But everyone is different, as long as financially and emotionally you know you can then why not? We get broody for a reason, god wants us to procreate

I like that!! God wants us to procreate!!! so it'll be his fault if i end up with 10 kids!!!

Exactly, if he didn't want us to be shooting them out then he shouldn't have made the broody hormone
