Gwendolyn you are lovely and obviously have a tender heart and I mean that kindly.

I'm a father of three and was a coach and I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice. You ALWAYS want to play a man to man defense and NOT A ZONE DEFENSE!!

Have a boy and a girl and call it a day!

Well I am 36 so it unlikely to happen, but you 18, you might be able to do it, good luck. :)

Yes, I dream of many children. I don't know if my body can do it. But I would really like to. Our ancestors once had 10 children each, but over time this changed. I don't think it's right. Because only together we are strong. Brothers and sisters together are power !

TheRealPepperPotts · Answer

Like @DrPepper12 said, you have a wonderful heart and I'm sure you'll be an amazing mom. <3

I personally don't, because I was raised in a very large family and surrounded by large families. I got to observe the outcomes from varied environments. Overall, unless there is a large extended support network (Amish communities come to mind), the chances of the kids growing up to be well-adjusted adults is pretty much a crapshoot. The volume of time and resources it takes to invest in a large number of kids simply isn't there in two parent households, and the oldest children being parentified is a huge problem in these families. I know some people will probably hit back at this, but I have been closely connected with these kinds of families from a young age and I have had a lot of time to observe outcomes.

If you choose to have a lot of kids, I'd just say make sure you have a good plan for their education and enrichment, and still have time for yourself and your interests, as well as your marriage. You'll need to be an incredibly organized, extremely efficient and hardworking, as well as a flexible and emotionally resilient person, to pull it off, because kids are not robots to program and control. They are vibrant human beings with individual personalities and motivations. The interpersonal relationships requires a great deal of initiative and emotional bandwidth. Basically, you have 90 interpersonal relationships to navigate and moderate (10 kids each having interactions with the other 9 kids within a family = 90 interpersonal dynamics, going both ways).

Three kids, on the other hand, you'll need to concern yourself with 6 interpersonal dynamics (the relationship of each child with the other two children). With 4 kids, you bump it up to twelve interpersonal dynamics, just by adding one more child.

I want to add that I have three children whom I dearly love. But I'd be taking away from what I can offer them relationally by having many more. I'm not against having large families, if it's well planned out. But I happen to know that most large families do it for religious reasons, or because the mom "just loves babies", not because they have thoughtfully considered how their decision may affect the prospective children long-term. Just some things to consider, and I do wish you a lovely family someday!

Screenwriter · Answer

At 18, it might be greatly romantic to think of being the matriarch of a family of 10 children, but I'd advise that you find a mate who has the same goals and who is willing and able to support you and all those kids because if you do eventually have 10 children, you're going to need loads of financial support.

And before you decide on 10, also, it might be advantageous to have one or two and see what the parental load is for a few. It's also a chore to create and birth that many children while having others you have to care for. It's a big job. You might be the person to do it, though.

Nonamez · Answer

Ideally 2-3 , but not one , I'm so lucky to have sister, when you on your own , the world definitely is more boring, is good to have fights and laugh and help each other , no money can change that if you are alone 🤔😇
And definitely not 10 , I have only sister , my mom has no sisters or brothers, my grandma had no sisters or brothers, so I have no close relatives 🤔

RebelinSteel · Answer

Nope the world is already full and we need to look at reducing population levels, especially in areas where their countries cannot support the kids they are pumping out, this can be financially, food wise, land wise. If you look at house prices in the UK, having lots of kids just adds to the lack of homes.

We do not need anyone to have 10 babies.

Anonymous · Answer

That's disgusting and there's no reason for it. There are 8 billion people on Earth, and most people are not living good or even useful lives; many are suffering. So there's a very good chance your children would not have it easy. There was a time when 10 kids was understandable, such as running a family farm when the nearest neighbor was 10 miles away and you didn't travel much farther than that anyway.

WhatsYourZodiac · Answer

Omg... 10 will be big number, just imagine breast feeding for 10 years, that would be night mare

Shamalien · Answer
