I watched a documentary the other night about people who have allot of kids, one family had 15 kids and would still love more! Just makes me think what I would do if I had 15 kids and i seriously don't know how I'd cope. I have 2 children at the minute and sometimes they have me pulling my hair out, I just don't know how anyone could manage with 15.

I also watched that and I could not imagine having that many children it must be very hard but most of the families seem to cope well. I have five children myself but only four still at home and at times that can be hard work but I love every minute of being a Mum.

Yea being a parent is the best and most rewarding job i the world. I agree they did seem to cope really well with all those children, I think its such a shame the way some of the larger families were treated by others.

I do not believe this... I have only one kid and i just can not prepare myself for other one.I guess it is so difficult to raise this number of kids financially as well as in terms of time we spend with each kid.

Children - How can you cope with many children?
15 children and wanting more! My goodness I don't think I could ever cope with such a large number of children. It is not only financially burdensome but would drain me physically. I am a hands-on mother and would take care every bits and pieces concerning my child so how could I ever do that with 15 or more kids. If more than one is already too heavy a load how much more 15?

I don't even have 1 LOL. But I can imagine how happy and relieved they would be when they're old if they've got 15 of them ^,^

dear samd87, i have one child now, a five-year old boy. i decided not to have another one until my husband will have his job or a small business...because...its hard to raise a child if you cannot afford. even i still want another child (because i still want to have a baby girl. at present, i'm the only one working and i don't know how to budget my salary for all our expenses, we're only three in the family. i can't afford to have another child and let our lives just shrink in poverty and be hungry. but i still want another child, just last one :)

I haven't even had one child yet, and I don't know if I can handle even one yet, let alone 15!
