I got 8 and with twin girls included 4 girls 4 boys ages are 14,11,9,8&8,6,3,5 months…if I can handle it you can handle it I’ve been asked and told that many times. I have my days but I also have a supportive and helpful loving partner. It’s nobody problem how many kids you have! They’re your kids😊🩷💙🩷💙🩷
If you’re capable of taking care of them, it isn’t anyone’s business.

When we announced we were pregnant again which is my 5th but we’ll have a total of 8 all together, I kept getting the response “another one?!” Like yes can I help you?! It’s my life and if I want to have another baby I certainly will. All my kids are well fed and taken care of that’s what matters so if we can handle taking care of one more it’s no one’s business. We couldn’t be any happier and I refused to let anyone ruin that for our family.

I’ve been told to have more. Or that women my age have 3 by now.
I shrug it off.
We want more.
It hasn’t happened tho. So butt out.
We have 9 kids plus im raising my sister. We get no government help for all the karens out there. They are all spoiled, have what they need and more. All are on honor roll etc .

I birthed 8 children. Eight children are one of the reasons I am still alive today. Being chosen and going through so many trials and tribulations my babies was what I had to keep pushing motivation no matter how hard it got. It doesn’t pay to be judgemental because we never know why God allows what He allows. I’m learning to walk in purpose and I truly believe that God blessed me and gave me the responsibility to raise 8 of his children on this earth. I won’t fail Him.

The only thing I’m seeing is the people having the most kids are the ones who can’t afford them without government help.

Yup I have 5-- no government assistance. I also have 3 babies in Heaven. It’s nobody’s business but yours what you do with your body. If your doc says it’s safe and you can afford it, have as many as you want. Kids are a blessing 
Mine are now 23, 21, 19, 15, and 6!!

Others usually say that to people who have kids and can’t provide for their children and expect others to help them all the time. People who are unstable having kids. Or people who are in bad situations and relationships having kids. Makes no sense to keep popping kids when you can’t take care of them or yourself.<–that’s usually why people would say that.

I’m pregnant with my 5th and I actually get this regularly.
“Don’t you think it’s time to quit”
“I think one of you should get fixed”
Even my Dr who has always been amazing said at my first prenatal appointment this time around “you considered birth control or being fixed this time” in his defense I’m high risk each time but everyone else can kiss it. Lol

As long as you’re the one taking care of them and not pawning your kids off on other people or making your older kids parent the younger ones then I say have as many as you can afford. Just make sure you’re able to give each child undivided quality time together, at least occasionally. You know, mommy/daddy daughter/son dates. Even if it’s just like a once a month thing, each month you take out a diff child. It doesn’t even have to cost a lot of money. It’s the time together and the things you do a child will remember more so than things that are bought.

All the time but back in the day you had as many as you had so why is it so different now? I love my 4 children they always have someone but its no one business how mamy you have if you are able to look after them
When I told everyone I was pregnant with my 1st barely anyone was supportive, after I had him it was when are you having another. I got pregnant with my 3rd and everyone was like WOW and with my 4th it was you know that happens right? I personally stopped because I didn’t want kids after 30 and I had my 4th the day after my 30th birthday
Are u a shit mom? Can you afford more kids? Are you on welfare? Do u ignore you kids? Are they neglected? Do you pawn them on everyone else? If you answer yes to any of these that is why people keep telling you this.
Yes. My dr told me at 35 to stop because of my ‘advanced maternal age ‘. He was my 4th I had a 5th child at 39 , they are all very healthy children!!

I’m pregnant with my tenth and I have 4 bonus kids and 4 grandkids. The only ones who tell me to stop are the people who don’t know me, everyone else asks when I’m having the next lol
I’ve heard the full range of everything people say and I let it roll off my shoulders. The only thing that matters is that my kids are very well provided for and well loved (we are on a 5 day vacation to great wolf lodge this week)

Yep and I only have 3. My parents never wanted me having kids at all. When my oldest was 13 I finally gave her a sibling and got so much flack for it. They couldn’t understand why I wanted to start all over again. I’ve also found that people make comments no matter what you do…if someone chooses to not have kids at all or just have one, they get judged for that as well

Yepp. After 3. I have 7 bio babies, so I most definitely pissed people off for absolutely no reason whatsoever I kept getting told “(whatever amount) is enough” I wanted 6 & my 6th was a pretty urgent situation with delivery. He came at 26+4 because of severe Preeclampsia & I was going to get my tubes removed in the event of a C-section, but it was an emergency C-section & they told me he didn’t have a good chance of survival so they asked about my tubes again & I said no. Needless to say, I just had another little dude 2 weeks ago. But my tubes are removed now. I have 7 pretty healthy kiddos who are absolutely beautiful. & I just turned 30, so it’s time to get back to taking care of me a little bit more. My oldest is 11, so I’ve been pretty much pregnant every year since I was 17 going on 18. & I’ve had 3 miscarriages in between a few of my kids. I wish I could keep reliving my newborns, but I’m going to just soak it in & enjoy my babies since I’m still young. A lot of people STILL don’t like it, but the ones who say stuff literally don’t even know my kids because they aren’t involved. My husband & I just turned 29 & 30 this month & we have 8 between the 2 of us. It’s time to enjoy our lives & after 2 C-sections, I just don’t think it would be feasible to have anymore for my health. I got very lucky my kids are as healthy as they are for being a Preeclampsia survivor X’s 3 & HELLP syndrome X’s 1, plus 2Xs with gestational diabetes.
If you are financially, mentally taking care of all their needs by all means but when/if that stops then it’s not fair to the child to be brought into the world .

Yup I have 5 and would be disowned if I have another and there all spaced apart it was actually my husband who wanted more he wants another but the pressure from the fam and my mental health have to be done enjoying my baby now but definitely having last baby syndrome
I heard someone saying that they were tired of people being intrusive and asking personal questions like “don’t you know what causes that” so she started answering with things like “ya my husband is hot and I was really horny”. She figured she might as well make them uncomfortable if they were going to be intrusive😁
I had one of my own, and my husband had 4 when we got together. And we decided to have one together, and you would’ve thought the world was going to end. Everyone thought I was crazy for raising 6 kids. But now, 10 years later, they look at me in awe of still having my sanity. And say how well I’ve done.
We have 6 total (I gave birth to 4, and he had 2 before me). We want one more which gives me 5, him 3 with me, and 7 total. We will keep it completely quiet. Not hard to do, we don’t bother with hid family or mine. We see them every once in awhile and we can easily disappear. Every time we do go to his mom’s, she makes a comment about him getting a vasectomy, etc. Mind you she does not baby sit my 4, only his 2 from previous. We hardly get to see them due to the baby momma. But she loves to use his family as full time baby sitters. That’s nothing to do with us. Our kids (2 we had together)and my kids (2) are always with me, we only get away from all of them 2 times a year, and the Babysitter is well compensated. We own our home (no mortgage) own our vehicles, own a business, etc. I can afford 5 more children if I wanted. I don’t but anyways, it’s not right for anyone to have a say about what we choose to do.
Only by my doctor. My body did not develop properly and all of my pregnancies were high risk. When I was pregnant with my last child they doctor told me giving birth again would not be a good idea. They said there is always adoption if I want more.

As long as a person is financially able to support their kids I say have a dozen if you want but it you need to depend on assistance then yes I think you should stop having kids. I
Honestly yes. Dr said another pregnancy could kill me. Long story. Last pregnancy I was so high risk.

Everyone always has something to say personally it’s no one business my answer back to them will be as long I am taking care and supporting my kids no one has nothing to say about how many I can have if I am not asking for help for them or help to support them they can shut up !! A lot people talk because they have nothing else better to do what they need to do is worry about themselves not others worry about their house not yours !!
I’m in number two and plan for for four or five I’ll laugh the day someone tells me I shouldn’t have anymore. It’s not anyone’s business. What ever you and your partner are happy to look forward to.
I can’t stand when people have an opinion about how many kids you should have… no one else is waking up throughout the night with them or paying for them so idk why it’s their problem lol congratulations! I have 4 and my best friend is about to have her 5th

I have 4, never been told to stop, and would never tell anyone to stop having kids, to each their own. But I do think to myself ‘why would anyone want to keep having more?’ 
High risk with both my pregnancies. First one I did a stint in the ICU. Second one was 6 weeks early. Dr told me next one would be delivered at 28 wks. Nope, we’re done.
I have 5. When I was pregnant with the 5th and people would make their comments about knowing what causes that, my comment was usually " if you’re good at something keep doing it!"

Iv just had baby number 8 4 months ago today and no ones told me not to have any more. Just to add though I don’t want any more . But I think if you can handle it and do good financially then no one can tell you no. Unless there’s some sort of medical reason then I say have as many as you see fit.
My grandma up until my youngest was like 7 told me I should’ve only had 1 , my kids are 19, 14 and 10 she used to tell me alot that I should’ve only had my 1st and I would’ve been able to do this or that. When I was pregnant with my 3rd I was 25 I was still with my kids dad, we had jobs, house and car and when I told my grandma she said she wasn’t gonna talk to me anymore

After I had my third (my first girl after two boys) I have had strangers come up to me and tell me to stop having children bc I got my girl now. Luckily I haven’t heard anything negative from family.
I’m expecting my 4th now!
Oh for sure. Every single time by my mom. I have 4 of my own and a step son that she gets mad at me everytime I say he’s my son to. Toxic them old women I tell ya
No ones business but yours unless there’s a medical reason why you shouldn’t have any more. Big families were the norm years ago
If you have Csections the more you have after so many, can get risky for both you and baby. I was told the same thing.

Laying in the hospital bed after my second C-section, My parents told me to get fixed 
because I already had a step son and 2 of my own, I went ahead and had another. I think I’m done now……maybe….
If you can care for them then anyone who says to stop is not your friend.
Yes by a medical professional because if I have another it will likely injure me severely due to a condition I have. I don’t want anymore either way
#1, who is telling you this? If it’s your man then punch that moron cause he got you that way . If it’s his family, tell them to tell their son to pull out better. 
. If it’s your family, again, tell them sorry your husband likes it deep 
. Idk who tf would say this to people. My OBGYN told me on baby #3 “did I know what causes this?” and with #4 he asked if we were tying tubes with this one. 
mind your own uterus and stay tf out of mine, that’s all you need to say.
Yeah when I was pregnant with the third one
I can hardly take care if 2. I wish I could afford more I’d have 2 more if I could.
Unless you need financial assistance, always asking for help or child care then it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

Who is telling you to stop? If it’s medical people and it’s for legit reasons, you should consider their advice.
If it’s just random people, friends/family etc but your kids are loved, cared for etc , you can afford it AND your mental/physical health is good, then have as many as you want.
I just had my 6th last month
We have 12 and we got it all the time and finally told them when I am done you will know
If you and your husband can afford them that great. If you or your husband have health issue decide to stop after this pregnancy.
Normally stuff like that get said cause either people already cant afford them or they just dont parent good

If you can afford them mentally, financially and emotionally on YOUR own that’s great. I say ‘on your own’ because circumstances change very quickly nowadays. If not, don’t, because your life will be miserable and the kids don’t deserve it. Just my opinion.

We are currently pregnant with baby #4 and I have to go to my obgyn every 2 weeks and get blood work once a week .
Yes. I ignore it. Was told “no more” after my first and with every one since. I’ve hid/just not mentioned every pregnancy for as long as possible because of it cause I’m not listening to it. they don’t paying for them, they don’t watch them, and they don’t feed them. So they don’t get a say. We’ve got 4 and want another. Just not rn
When my second was 6 months old my aunt confronted me in front of her husband’s (not my) family. She said “this is your last” as a demand. I had 1 more . The bank teller saw me with my step son, my 2 & pregnant. She looked at my age & told me I was stupid for having more kids & I better stop. I was 39. Then all the comments “do you know how that happens” pointing to my pregnant belly & other kid(s). People are always into others business. More than take care of their own affairs. Just ignore them.
Yes and I tell them to f off because they aren’t the ones carrying, raising or supporting them
Lol I have a friend who just had her 8th and to my knowledge everyone (including me) admires tf out of her - she’s incredible.
