  • That’s totally up to you and your partner. I would not even discuss it with friends & family.


  • No, you do you! What’s right for one person is not necessarily right for someone else. Nobody else can live your life for you, and nobody knows you better than you. Live your life for you and do what makes you happy ( not someone else) or you will only end up with regrets.


  • Absolutely not ! That’s totally up to you and your partner


  • The size of your family is a personal decision, and the only opinion you need to take into consideration is that of your partner.


  • No – everyone has their own opinions and wants. The only factor would be my partners wishes also considered


  • Of course not, are they the ones giving birth and looking after them . Obviously your family values are important so ask yourself what you want .


  • It’s your life not theirs


  • Absolutely not!
    You have as many children as you & your partner decide to have.
    Don’t let others influence your decision.
    If you & your partner know you can cope & provide for as many children as you want then go for it!
    It is your life & no-one has the right to tell you how to live it.


  • no way! your smart and know what you want.


  • NO!
    Its not up to them its totally personal between you and your partner.


  • No, surely a couple would decide to have x amount of children based on other factors. I’ve never let friends, family or strangers run my life or influence my decisions.


  • do what makes you happy, not them. you don’t want to regret it later.


  • I think as long as you are emotionally and financially capable of supporting your children have as many as you want.


  • No if I want so many kids thats up to me not them they dont have to look after them


  • it doesn’t hurt to listen to other people opinions especially those that have the same amount of kids that you want but if you’re still happy with your decision & think you can handle it mentally, physically, emotionally & financially than go for it!!


  • No. I’ve made it clear that I wanted 3 children regardless of the gender and a lot of people think that I’m mad. Today I have 4 weeks until my 3rd arrives and I know that my family will be complete. Stuff them as it not up to them how many children you have.


  • If you feel you can deal with a brood do it. The people you are talking about all have different opinions and that is natural. each to their own.


  • it all comes down to you and your partner


  • Other people are definitely entitled to their opinions, and I would listen to what other people had to say, but ultimately the decision is up to you. If people are forceful in giving their opinions, I’d thank them for their input, and probably say that they’ve given me some points to think over, but I’d never let other people dictate what I do, especially when it comes to the size of my family. You know what you want, whether you can afford it, and what’s right for you.


  • No!! I’m sick and tired of everyone else always having their opinion! Sure they are entitled to it but the decision lays with you and what feels right to you!
