[quote=Anonymous]It seems people from large families either do the same as adults or have significantly less children. My Dad was 1 of 13 , my mom was 1 of 4. Assuming you can emotionally and financially support 4 + kids would you do it? I'm from a large family the 3rd of 4 kids. I only want 1 kid, My sister has stopped at 2. My brother has zero , and my other sister is debating between 1 and none. My reasons are I'm starting in my late 30s, I don't think I could handle more than 1 child at this stage in my life. Had I started younger I may have gone for 2. I also don't feel I could effectively parent 3 or more kids. Lastly, though I had an overall positive experience as a child, I do feel I was lost in the shuffle, and don't want to chance repeating that. My best friend growing up was 1 of 8. She has 5 kids, only 3 of her remaining siblings have children and they have intentionally stopped at 2 each.[/quote]
