My friend wants to have at least 8 children and would love to be able to afford 20 like the Radford family.
She is an only child, very religious and loves looking after young children.
I only intend to have one child.
3 is the minimum and 4 is the maximum
Nah I don't want any

If feel like saying "I want 10 children" is more something that a male would say, as lets face it the process doesn't exactly take a toll on our bodies...

Has she had one yet?
Obviously I can never give birth [as i'm a male] but having seen video's of births and what women say about it, I couldn't fathom having 8 children....,
the pain especially looks quite off-putting.

No.
She's an unmarried fundamentalist christian, used to a lot of pain and loves watching the Radford family youtube channel.
I have always liked the idea of a big family but then it looks too much like hard work. Also if you really want a lot of children you need to start early an have good few years between each, my aunty has four and at one point they were all below school age. The only reason people had big families in the old days was not only a lack of contraception but because a majority of women would be having their first child by the age 14 so had over 30 years of child-bearing ability and even though infant mortality was much higher the mother was usually expecting the next already. We have control now, we don't need to have so many children.

Well so long as it's her decision I guess..

I've met guys that tell women this, usually the religious or family values types.
As soon as I hear it, my voice tends to fail and I can't say anything.
Too busy running in the opposite direction. :biggrin:

Over 3 children and you can no longer fit the family in a standard car...
In a perfect world If I were to have children I would want 2, a boy and a girl ah!!!!

Your poor foo foo..

I don't know if i wan't any, i have 11 nieces and nephews and that is enough.
I’m thinking 2 maximum, paying private school fees for one will be expensive enough

How many is a good number for you? 5 or 6?
