How many kids is too many?

[NiceGurl_14]

Ok, I was looking through the news today and I saw that the Duggar family has just had their 19th child (all by the same parents). In my mind 19 is WAY too many. I'd settle for 3. I wanna know what you people at the escapist think about this family and how many children sound reasonable to you?

1. But then again I don't want kids anytime soon. They're cuter when they're not yours. You can play with them and then give them back to their parents when they start crying.

2 kids, because then they fight each other, and not you.

Over 9000!!!

It had to be done.

My great great gran had 22kids, quite a few of them died in war. Although 2 would be enough for me.

I'd rather have none :3 My little Brother has taught me, being a parent... Ehhh.. Not that great of an idea. But I'd live with one or two.. And hope for the best~

3 is too many. Look at what happens after a population goes through a period of explosive expansion - after a while the resources deplete faster than they can be replenished and you have a sudden contraction of population size. In our terms, meaning a lot of premature death.

4 is to much. But in some country like china 2 is to much.

1 would be too many for me

Ok, for this day and age, really having a family over 7 kids is unusual. What makes this story of the family a little more odd is that their oldest child just had his own kid. (so the grandchild is older than the baby of the family)

Two kids is too many. Did you know, 100 years ago, the earths population was a tenth of what it is now?

I'd love to have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. I'd rather not go over that, but we'll see when I get to that point.

It's too many once her uterus gives out. She's always freaking pregnant, so it can't be too long now.

I say two kids would be enough for me, the second one could be company for the first.

One biological & one adopted.
Works out better for everyone.

I like this plan, I might adopt (OMG SEE WHAT I DID THERE? I'M SO WITTY!) it as my own.

One.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I think two kids is perfect

2's company, but 3's a crowd.
