Prend1 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 I think that we all need to remember not to judge. I myself would love to have more kids but with my medical issues it would not be fair to bring more kids into the world. Children need their parents to be loving and kind and I am barely that now...so for me more kids would be selfish... Also what about those families that simply cannot afford many kids. When you live paycheck to paycheck you cannot provide for 9 kids...i'm sorry but unless you go on welfare or seek the church's help all tine for some it is not possible.....doesn't the church also teach us to be self reliant? If you have already fullfilled the commandment to replenish the earth, should you forgo the self reliant commandment just so that you can replenish it some more? I do not think that it is fair to have 9 kids jst so that they can live in poverty and mooch off the church and welfare all their life. Big families are not necessarily God's plan for everyone! We need to remember that and not judge either way!! Quote

Can you guys imagine how much money it would take to provide for 17?!?!? Quote
